Planet Coaster Modding on OpenMods

Planet Coaster's blueprint-driven community

Planet Coaster (2016) is Frontier Developments's theme park sim, and the predecessor design that informed Planet Zoo. The modding architecture is similar, no official mod SDK, but extensive Steam Workshop integration for blueprints and scenarios.

The headline content is blueprints, entire roller coasters, themed buildings, and complex scenery the community designs and shares. Engineering-minded players especially appreciate the detail level Workshop creators have achieved.

The toolchain

• Steam Workshop: primary distribution.
• In-game blueprint capture: save your own structures as Workshop-shareable blueprints.
• Community asset tools: limited, similar constraints to Planet Zoo.

What you'll find on OpenMods

Planet Coaster content lives primarily on Workshop. GitHub-published Planet Coaster content is rare. OpenMods catalogues whatever exists.

Practical notes

• Workshop blueprints are the whole scene. True asset modding is constrained.
• Planet Coaster 2 (2024) is a separate game. Different Workshop, separate catalogue, no blueprint transfer.
• DLC packs add building piece sets. Workshop blueprints using DLC content require that DLC.
