Planet Coaster

I bought it on launch and have only dabbled a bit in it myself. I was hyped for a good theme park sim and this looked to be everything I wanted, I just hardly have time to dedicate what I need to get into the game in a single session these days.
 
Did anyone get Planet Coaster lately?

I did. It has one of the weirdest DLC systems ever. So you can build all the DLC items even if you don't own the DLC, but the catch is that it won't let you save. What kind of a weird idea is that? Why make the DLC items available at all to people who don't own it? And why in God's name are there so many DLCs anyway?
I noticed the same shit with Cities: Skylines as well. Insane!
 
So I completely forgot about this until today. With the PC I mentioned earlier the park gets between 30 and 55 FPS depending on how much of the park I view (zoomed) at the same time during the day. FPS at night drops to around 12-20. This is with no visitors in the park.

Topping out at about 3K visitors (can't get more since the ride queues are broken and too hard to fix inside the scenery), FPS zoomed out to see the full park is about 25 during the day and 8 or 9 at night...
 
My OCed 7700K starts to buckle at 4000 guests and things get choppy from there, but still playable. This game occupies all 4 cores and 8 threads at 100% if the park gets big enough. It will also max out my OCed 970 pretty easily at 1080p on Ultra settings.
