Buildings go boom

Lovely indie game with a good foundation. If you like building and micro managing, this is the game for you. It still needs some work, but the developer seems to be right on top of it. It does get a little bit boring after a while, so I consider it to be a game that you play in phases and periodically come back to.

The core mechanics are what always kept me hooked on this game, but the state of the game had me worried. Fortunately, the game has improved quite a lot over time, especially in the past few months.
- A lot of (game breaking) bugs have been fixed
- No more random crashes (for me at least)
- Performance has improved quite a bit (still enough room for improvement though)
- Servers seem way more stable (also still enough room for improvement)
- Devs started to listen more to the community, and seem to react quicker
- New (small to medium) features and content being added fairly regular

If the devs keep this up, I foresee a long lifespan for this game
Hackers are still a huge problem unforunately

Started with the open sandbox. Quite enjoyed it. There were a lot of bugs and glitches, but no dealbreakers as it's still early access.
But when I started a scenario and looked at the way those parks are built: horrible. Seriously, who builts a park like that?!

The coaster builder really needs some work. When I build a coaster over water, it crashes. When I try to make a coaster as realistic as possible, it crashes for unknown (probably ridiculous) reasons. The prebuilt coasters are built really bad and therefore should definitely crash, but they don't... They really look like a 2 year old designed them.

Other problems I encountered:
- Peeps couldn't enter a coaster, the entrance was properly built but it seemed like there was an invisable barrier.
- You can only adjust the direction by 5 degrees when building a coaster. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me, but sometimes it gets stuck at (for example) 42 degrees when you need 40 degrees, so you get ugly wobbles in your coaster.
- Coasterphysics when it comes to speed: it just keeps going... really could use some more loss of speed over the course
- The breaks on the coaster builder don't make sense: you can't fine tune them at all, and are almost impossible to use midcourse
- Result of the break issue: running more than 2 trains is almost impossible
- The image rocks a lot sideways when riding a coaster
- Paths are difficult to build: when you want to connect two paths, it restricts you in only a few possibilities.
- The game randomly crashes: so be sure to save your progress often!
- Peeps keep walking around hungry, even though I placed an abundant amount of foodstalls/restaurants

This list could go on a while.
For now, I wouldn't recommend this game, as it's not worth the price.
I really hope these problems are gonne be resolved. I know it's still early access, but there are so many problems which make me question if it will be fixable.
