image

A plugin for OpenRCT2 that lets you build collections of your favorite scenery and place them quickly without hunting through the scenery menus.

Features

  • Browse all scenery in a visual 6×7 grid with thumbnails
  • Toggle favorites — click any scenery item to add or remove it from your active collection
  • Pick from the map — use the eyedropper to click placed scenery on the map and add it to your collection
  • Place favorites from your collection with a single click
  • Multiple named collections — create, rename, and delete collections to organize your scenery
  • Recently placed view to quickly re-use items you've placed recently
  • Filter by type: All Types, Small Scenery, Large Scenery, Trees & Plants, Walls, Path Items, Banners
  • Search by name or object identifier
  • Global color palette — set primary, secondary, and tertiary colors applied to every item you place
  • Import / Export collections as JSON to share with others or back up your favorites
  • Favorites persist across saves and scenarios via OpenRCT2's shared storage
