I forgot to say in the video that guests do also need to be unhappy enough to become vandals. This means that if you drop a very happy guest in a part of your park with a lot of litter, it will take a long time for them to become a vandal as the litter first needs to lower their happiness enough.

Imagine seeing someone not putting their trash in the bin next to them so you destroy the bin in your anger.

Let's not forget they can also destroy the solid STONE benches from the Egyptian set. as kid I thought that wouldn't be possible.

As a child I didn't know how Vandals work so I thought all the broken benches were from fat people.

The RCT guests are superhuman. They can keep up a full sprint indefinitely, survive thousands of Gs and bend metal with their bare hands.

As a kid I always got so scared of their angry faces, so I immedately drowned them to get rid of them so I didn't need to see their faces again. I still get the shivers looking at them now, lmao.

I spent my entire childhood thinking there was a cool vandalization animation that I was missing and went crazy stalking angry guests to try to see it in action

I love the idea that everyone who visits the park is a potential violent criminal on the precipice of madness, who will cause property damage because there's too much litter on the ground

The rage guy who became too tired to be angry hit too close to home

It's easy to explain why vandals don't attack other guests in their anger: society in the RCT2 world has a very strict taboo against it, because of their incredible strength and resilience. A simple bar brawl between these superhumans would lay waste to an entire city.

When I was a kid I saw guests destroying my shit a few times and immediately drowned them

“This path is too messy! I will break the decorations to make it even messier!”

As a child I made a tiny prison segment in one of the corners of the park in which I put guests after they broke my benches. Like I literally thought that would work

Gonna be honest here: If I stepped in numerous pools of vomit after paying big dollars on amusement park rides, I'd probably break stuff too

The fact that every ordinary human in RCT can karate chop a bench in half and bend lamposts is fucking scary

RCT guests: *- capable of bending metal poles in half with their bare hands* *- vaporized instantly if their ride falls from a track 6 inches above the ground while going at 2 miles an hour*

"The rubbish... isn't in... THE BIN!!!" *Starts beating the shit out of said bin with bare hands*

Marcel on a normal day: "Lets go and drown half the park, and send the rest to the ether" Marcel when talking about park security: "I'm glad to see the guests not hurting each other!"

This must've worked slightly differently in RCT1 or I had a glitch - I distinctly remember having a vandal who kept the very angry face but was very happy and kept making happy comments "This park is so well priced!" "These paths are so clean!" etc. It was hilarious to imagine him shouting the compliments through gritted teeth since he was saying them with that face. I think it was because as a kid, I thought benches were stupid (I HATED when my family would stop riding stuff and just want to sit down for a while IRL) and didn't understand that trash cans actually did something in the game since I didn't see guests using them. So if my park had any decorations at all, they were entirely accidental, or jumping fountains. Anyways, glitch or not I had a guy for a VERY long time (more than an RCT year) who just ran around angrily shouting nice things as loud as he could. It was beautiful and I've always wanted to recreate it but never found success.

In OpenRCT2, I hope they add a feature that when a security guard encounters a broken bench/lamp post they just replace it with a new one and charge you whatever it would cost. Also have tick box like handyman to whether they do this or not.

I witnessed a vandal destroy a bench once, suffice it to say he had an “accidental” drowning

In Planet Coaster you see all the animation of them breaking, dropping trash bins etc, and when they are caught by the police they are escorted to the exit, it is very cool.

At least in RCT1, vandals do break benches with guests already on them. This is why you sometimes see guests sitting on a broken bench.

As a kid, I didn't know you had to replace the broken stuff manually so once something was broken I'd just wait for the handyman to fix them, but they never did.

Local man, who sprints as fast as a marathon runner, can survive a huge amount of G force, can bend metal with bare hands drowns in a puddle.

There are two things that scared me alot in RCT & RCT2: Accidents (which kinda counts as jumpscare since the window of the ride pops up and plays the crash's sound) and the raging face of a vandal guest, the face of pure nightmare

The 2 dislikes are those two vandals who broke six benches but managed to leave the park before you drown them

When I'm bored I make a quarantine center for the enraged guests to calm down and become tired

when I was a kid I remember I would be borderline in tears if there were too many vandals breaking things - my solution to flood the park with security was more like a bandaid than a fix XD

While I know that lamps don't contribute anything concrete to the underlying simulation, I've found myself using them a lot more after enabling the day-night cycle in OpenRCT2. They really do make things look nicer! Now if only there were a way to light up rides in the same manner...

So broken benches are caused when guests go hulk mode

Always wondered about this myself, thanks for the video Marcel Vos.

I always loved the backwards thinking of reacting to a dirty park by making it dirtier

Would be cool if there was an animation sprite for guest destroying the path element. With all the detailed pixel sprites for all sorts of animations in the game, I'm wondering why Chris Sawyer didn't make this one in particular.

as we learned previously, guests are full of explosives. vandals don’t attack other guests, not because they’re considerate, but because they’re afraid their victim will explode on them

Vandal; Slaps guest. Guest; *Turns into a red mist

Mod idea: vandals beat up guests. Another mod idea: vandals bend the steel tracks of rollercoasters.

In the original rct I have seen tired guests sitting on a broken bench. I just put a few guests on a single path tile with benches and waited. It is years ago though, but my memory is pretty clear since I was surprised about it.

We need the vandal in smash, he could be so overpowered!

The faces in RCT2 look so funny lmao

It's always a good day when Marcel posts a new video. I haven't played RCT2 in forever, but his pleasant voice and the way he explains things is delightful to watch for some reason.

I now want a mod of extra aggressive vandals, that they take it out on park staff and other guests, beating them up. Or even that they sabotage your rides, causing them to break down, or dare I say, crash~

I swear I remember seeing guests sitting on a broken park bench in RCT1...

3:20 Marcel vos: ''You dont place any bins, benches or lamp posts'' Also Marcel vos: i put a bench in the left corner hiding by the small trees, just to make sure they still have enough benches to not get angry.

Wait a second. Lamps don't do anything? What? :-0 We have to revisit that

Thanks for the video, it explains a lot. The streets of Rome in 445 must have been full of vomit and trash, so the Vandals got angry and sacked it!

I stopped playing RCT 1 and 2 what feels like 20 years ago (never touched 3 for my own sanity's sake). And this channel keeps revealing mechanics to me that I didnt know existed and that would have made my RCT runs so much easier. And I'm absolutely hooked. Marcel is doing a really good job at exposing and explaining these small details where knowing about all of them can very easily make or break a run.

Vandals get angry because there is more litter on the ground, breaks bins and there will be more litter adding more fuel to their fiery anger to break stuff.

If vandals could attack other guests and end up enraging them, you could end up with some funny Dwarf Fortress-style spirals in your park. I imagine that they may have considered that as a reason not to allow people to attack each other (on top of any sprites needed and other work.)

The way you handle your park is like Dutch handle their country. Very good !

RCT2 park customers are truly superhumans. super fast super strong and constantly involved when something explodes....

When I played RCT2 as a kid, I though the benches would just break over time and need to be replaced. Similairly, I thought vandalism was just graffiti on scenery and I thought I just never saw it.

This topic is admittedly a bit sad, but very very interesting to see it anyways, especially your analysis about the data's, how they become it and so on! Very interesting like always :)

I have encountered this when RCT2 first came out and was wondering how my benches broke. I watched the bench carefully and as soon as it became broke, I clicked on the guests and found out the angry face. While founding this, I noticed no angry people in my park with at least 2 handy man and angry people start "creating" when I accidentally forgot to place a handy man at the exit where there was vomit everywhere. Than the angry man was there.. In short, I experienced this "vandal" when playing the game myself. :-) It's nice to see this video, explained by you in a better way, because you can explain things way better ;-)

I'm glad that you still upload videos about RCT2. By the way Marcel, back when I was playing RCT2, your videos were extremely helpful. Because this game has A LOT going on under the hood, without your vast knowledge, we wouldn't fully understand the game mechanism. But I think your videos are pretty random. I think it would be great if you organize them into different categories. Videos like this one for example, belong to the game mechamism playlist. Videos about making guests disappeared by using the maze belong to Tips and tricks playlist. Videos about making invisible roller coasters or teleporting go-karts belong to Designing playlist, etc. Your knowledge about this game is immense. I believe one would take hours and hours of learning to be as good as you. So I think organizing your videos would help newbie learning more efficient. Thank you again for the content all this time.

Also, I'm always surprised that in super min-maxed parks people don't do exclusively underground pathing more. Guests cannot litter/puke underground, so if you ONLY do underground pathing it eliminates the need for trashcans, handymen, and security guards entirely. All you need then is mechanics (and that depends on the rides), and entertainers (only if you want to though). That's decent chunk of sprites saved if you're needing them all to max the guests out, and it's a decent bit of money saved on staffing. It's also a cool way to potentially have an entirely staff-less park!

I've been binging all these videos. They are just a great time to watch. I grew up with RCT3 and played a good bit of RCT1 but I think I might check out the 2nd game.

I've never played this game, but somehow your videos turned up in my feed, and I can't stop watching 😂

I literally had no idea there was an animation, and that just the one vandal would smash everything! Thanks for the video

Ah yes, that part of the scenario when my rating starts tanking because of vandalism so I have to set specific patrols for my handymen and pause the game to replace every broken bench and bin.

Marcel - "Who on earth would do such a terrible thing?" Also Marcel - murders guests into the void to avoid losing park rating

This is a mystery that I've always been curious about. I actually had no idea that peeps could go into a blind rage and break everything in sight, but now it makes perfect sense.

I haven't played this game in like 18 years, but for some reason I keep coming back to your videos :D Maybe it's just the game design and mechanic aspect.

I swear I have seen guest sitting on broken benches at least a dozen times

Wow, fresh episodes! I thought the RCT series were all 2 years old. Neat. You make me wanna go back and play it! =D

2 guests already pressed dislike, you need to hire more guards

Oh man, I hope they don’t break my favorite Ferris Wheel “Sex Place” 1:09

As A Kid i rarely saw the rage mode and i was always so interested and happy when i saw one lol

RCT is clearly the most terrifying video game to live in. The average person is capable of breaking a stone bench with their bare hands.

I was waiting for this video! Tks men

love your videos! thank you for the info marcel

Thanks, I was always wondering why I had no vandals even though my paths were covered in vomit.

Brings back memories of me and my sisters RCT1 pukey park (that was its name) where we just didn't hire any path cleaners and made loads of roller coasters . Eventually we got an award for "most disgusting park" or something and it was hillarious . Must have been nearly 20 years ago Great Channel!!!!!!

I always wondered about how vandalism happens, but never looked it up. Thanks for the great niche content!

It took me so long to realize those were caused by guests... I first saw broken benches on Dynamite Dunes and thought that they had melted because of the heat and tried replacing them with 'proper' stone furniture :D

WHY AM I WATCHING THIS, I NEVER EVEN PLAYED RTC. I don't know, there's just something endearing about your videos.

Best video so far man, thanks!!!

Now I'm imagining a version of RCT2 where guests in the Rage Mood go on homicidal rampages, punching and injuring other guests and park employees until a security guard tasers them.

Another great video, glad i am subscribed.

Now I'm curious if you could cost efficiently have a grid of security workers, spaced.. 14? tiles apart on a single unescapable tile (maybe hidden underground!?) and never have any vandalism. I might have to go download OpenRCT2 tonight and try it out!

I've never even played Roller Coaster tycoons but I keep clicking these videos when they show up on my feed. I'm choosing to believe that says something about the quality of the content as opposed to something about me.

I love how you used the gentle style music in the background 😂

"Oops I stepped in a puddle." "At least its not a vomit puddle." *"OI OI OI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A VOMIT PUDDLE!!!!!!!!"* (Proseds to destroy 3 benches,4 lamppost, and Merry Go Round 1) Zoo Wee Mama!

Yay! YOU FINALLY DID IT!!! Thank you for responding to my pestering

"The guests are revolting!" "Yes, and they're also rebelling against authority!" :D

Nice to see you in the noclip doc I was expecting you and was happy

Vomit and rubbish are indeed two things that enrage the Vandals, but you forgot to mention the third thing - being invaded by the Huns. Try keeping all nomadic horse-warriors out of your park, and your Vandals will be far less inclined to sack things like Gaul, Rome, or your park's bins and lampposts. Hope this helps :^)

The AI in RCT2: I'M SO ANGRY AT THIS DISGUSTING PATH I'M GONNA MAKE IT MORE DISGUSTING.

I've been waiting for this!

Vandal: Sees vomit on the ground Vandal's brain: IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS

Nice, a video about RTC2!

My childhood nightmare... angry peeps... Great video and explanation!

Your videos really make me want to play the game again

I fear no man but that THING...? (Vandal destroying metal and stone) It scares me....

Missed opportunity, Chris Sawyer. We could haven had a Vandal cheat code to enable them to destroy guests in a crash explosion.

I never knew dirty paths were the trigger! I thought that there was just a small percentage of the overall population that would randomly lash out if there wasn't a police officer nearby. I'm learning so much from you!

I don't even play RCT yet I keep watching your videos!

Imagine if vandals could shank other park guests. The game would immediately turn into Prison Architect

Imagine getting so pissed off at some litter and some vomit in a theme park, you make the park look even worse by breaking things.#RCTLogic

0:30 "Guest can have a variety of moods, ranging from happy, to *SAD-* " shows bored mood.
