Proximity Boost Counter
Proximity Boost Counter is an OpenRCT2 plugin that helps you understand how much nearby scenery, paths, water, and other rides contribute to your coaster’s proximity-related excitement bonuses.
This tool is focused on roller coasters only.
Features
- Plugin menu entry: Proximity Boost Counter
- Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+P (or GUI+P)
- Shows a breakdown table of nearby scenery, tracks and paths that factor into your excitement rating
- Shows total counts, cap, and the number of items that were included in the score
- Estimated score impact per factor, so you can see what's actually moving the needle
- Detailed explanation text for the selected row
- Refresh button to recalculate after edits
- Pick button to choose another ride
How it works
When you select a coaster, the plugin scans the map for that ride’s track elements and scores nearby interactions (for example: over water, near paths, near scenery, and near other track). It then displays per-factor counts in the window so you can see where your proximity score is coming from.
Reading the table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Total | Number of qualifying track pieces found, uncapped. |
| Scored | The capped count used in the actual calculation. Some factors add a seed bonus the moment you have any qualifying piece at all. |
| Cap | The maximum number of pieces that contribute to this factor's score. |
| Est. Impact | Approximate excitement gain under ideal conditions. Assumes no intensity penalty and uses known vehicle multipliers. Custom train types may not report accurate values. |
Usage
- Open OpenRCT2.
- Launch the plugin using either:
- Menu: Proximity Boost Counter
- Shortcut: Ctrl+P
- The plugin window opens. Click Pick Ride and then click a coaster (or one of its vehicles) with the crosshair.
- Inspect the table and click rows to view explanations and estimated score impacts.
- Use Refresh after track/scenery changes.
