Earning money while you're away
TipsThe coaster keeps running and generating cash even after you close the game.
- Your coaster generates money while you are offline.
- If your earnings feel slow, check that your course actually forms a complete loop — a broken circuit earns nothing at all.
Building with friends
CheckYou can share build permissions with friends. Once they have permission, they can place tracks on your course. A private server lets you switch on creative mode.
- Share build permissions with friends so they can place tracks on your course.
- For free-form design, set up a private server and toggle creative mode on.
Common reasons your coaster stalls

Common questions
FAQWhy is my coaster not moving?
The coaster only runs when the track forms a complete circuit from start to finish. Check your layout and make sure both ends are connected. Once the loop is closed, the coaster will start moving and generating income.
Can a friend help me build my coaster?
Yes — share your build permissions with them inside the game and they will be able to place tracks on your course.
What does the R key do when placing track?
Pressing R rotates the track piece you are about to place, so you can angle it in the direction you need before snapping it onto a yellow connection point.
Is the game free to play?
The base game costs nothing to play, and codes give you free currency and items to get started. Offline income keeps building up between sessions.
