Note from the Dev team
Beyond the Depths - Theme World is being brought to you along with Patch 3.0.0, a major patch with new and splashy content for everyone, usability improvements and of course tons of bug fixes!
Water rides are now available for Park Beyond and as a gift, we are giving out the Log Fume coaster track type. Log Flume coaster comes with many adapted coaster modules from non-water coasters! Also check out the Turntable and the Waterfall module - which will give a unique experience for all water rides but also for the old track types. New content, several food and drink items have received fitting modifiers that will affect the needs of your visitors. Consumables can now have modifiers like spicy, refreshing, soothing, energizing or heavy.
To ease your placement and building experience pillars, fences, eaves and trims have now been categorized in the same way as walls, roofs and ceilings to make your desired building pieces easier to access. On top of that, the search function in the placement menu now also works for object tags.
With this patch you will also have an easier time finding the save game you are looking for as we have added live park thumbnails and the ability to add custom names to your save games.
Thank you all for your ongoing support and feedback! We hope you enjoy Patch 3.0.0 and have fun in Park Beyond!
