Keeping Staff Happy

Staff in Planet Coaster 2 have relatively simple needs, with their happiness at work chiefly focused on their level of pay and their break schedule.

As covered in our Staff guide, staff schedules can be fully customised and their level of pay set at one of three levels:

• Fair
• Low
• High

Your decisions on staff pay and schedule will have a direct impact on Staff Morale, effecting how efficiently your staff members work and possibly even driving them to quit.

Staff Morale is a reflection of your staff’s happiness with their job working in your theme park. Morale is calculated at the end of each day and is affected by each staff member’s pay and breaks.

Staff morale can be:

• Very Happy
• Happy
• Content
• Unhappy
• Miserable

Working for more than 4 hours without a break will result in a reduction in Morale, as will giving them the Low pay tier. This negative impact will escalate if the situation lasts for several days and if a Staff Member is Miserable for 2 days in a row, then they will quit their job.

Morale also impacts the speed at which your staff members move and work in your park, with unhappy or miserable staff members being slower and happy or very happy staff members being faster.

You can view Staff Morale by inspecting a staff member or by opening the Staff sub-menu of the Park Management menu. Staff Morale will also be reflected in the way your staff behave, with happy staff visibly enjoying their time and unhappy staff appearing clearly morose.
