This option eliminates the need for power generators and distributors if turned off.

When this is turned off, rides and facilities will never break down, regardless of condition.

They cover bothnumbers and the needs of visitors.

This limits the number of daily guests.
It resets each day.
A lower number reduces crowds but also profits.

Guests' moods will directly affect your park reputation and rating, for better and worse.
If this is off, their mood stays steady and your rating and reputation are unaffected by guest experience.

Adjust how often guests get hungry.
Thirst Need
Guests will require drinks since they will get thirsty over time.

Changing this increases or reduces how often guests want to drink.
Again, this is the same as food.
More thirst needs more drink shops or vending machines to prevent guests leaving.

The more guests eat and/or drink, the more often they will need the toilet.

When turned off, guests do not burn and also no longer make ride choices based on the weather.

Many of theseoptions link together,and you will see some options grayed out at times.
For example, you cannot turn on sunburn without also turning on other weather effects.
Flat Ride controls
This tab is simple.
