Mechanics

[BEKKI]

Hello,

Firstly just wanted to say hello to everybody.

Secondly can anybody help me out. I have been experiencing some problems with my mechanics, I have had a couple of rides broken down (first was the chair lift on the first scenario and the second was the mine train on the second scenario)and nobody is going to mend them, they are going to do the inspections but not the breakdown. The only way I have managed to resolve this is to delete the ride and start again. Anybody know what up with them??

Thanks
Bekki

Hello Bekki

You need to have enough mechs to cover your park, but you also need to keep them pretty busy to stop them getting too bored.

You can call a mech to a ride by opening the ride clicking on the maintenance tab and clicking the icon with a mechanic on it.

I have had one or two that seem to not notice a broken ride (maybe their radios are broken :D) to which I have picked them up, dropped them by the entrance path (while paused) and then started while clicking the call mechanic button - normally works
Other than that you have to keep your eye on them (through the stats menus) to make sure they aren't skiving

If you look through the other posts you will see one started by Ant called Staff to which a couple of us wrote a lot on Staff needs, training etc., There are other posts on staff too that are worth reading (cos we've typed a lot of info in them)

The game does need to be played quite diferently to RCT1 or 2 - but you soon get the hang of it ...honest.
