Description
Version: <=0.3.1
- Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
- Specific to multiplayer?
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a section of the park that is only accessible by transport ride.
- Create rides in this section of the park.
Guests will be unable to find the distant section of the park, and complain that they can't find the rides there. If a ride is broken down in the distant section, mechanics from the main section will be unable to reach the ride, but will still make an attempt. Without manual intervention, this prevents the ride from being fixed, as the single mechanic attempting to reach it locks out other mechanics that are able to do so (this is especially troublesome in multiplayer, where manually-set staff paths don't always sync between clients).

Research direction
Start with the reproduction steps and the isolated-ride screenshot, then trace how guests and mechanics choose paths to areas reachable only by transport rides. Done means guests can find distant rides and mechanics can reach broken-down rides without manual intervention, including in multiplayer.
