    1. I don't... unless you're doing a serious backstory and need to research it, the only time I use google is to find reference pictures (i.e. how supports look on certain ride types)
    2. I usually start building once I have a general idea what I want to end up with. Still, a little planning goes a long way towards making the project easier.
    3. Start with coasters/tracked rides, then paths, landscaping, smaller rides, architecture, etc.

    1. You know how to use google.
    2. Envision what you can and map out the basics before you begin.
    3. Everybody has a slightly different approach to building their parks.

    1. I never do that.
    2. I start straight after I've finished the workbench, I build one building in each area, and then start finishing an area and finish another one until they're all done.
    3. I just answered this in the last one.

    1. I don't use Google unless I'm trying to build something that is similar to a real-life building (more so in my new solo rather than PoH)

    2. I spend a lot of time planning, and I never build unless I have an idea in my head. I believe posix said something like that and when I took it to heart, it really works, esp. in my newer stuff, i've noticed.

    3. Like Andy said, everyone has a slightly different approach, but the best way for me to work in general is just to take you time, taking everything one square at a time.

    hope that helps.

    1. I rarely do that.

    2. Usually planning a bit helps you stay with your park instead of rushing into it, yet too much planning can cause you to feel bored and not carry out your project.

    3. I suggest making terrain adjustments first so you won't have to adjust around stuff you already built, and that's pretty hard. Then I suggest building a coaster with a layout you like and theming it. That usually gives me a good start. Everyone has their own styles though, so I recommend expirimenting different ways.
