Planet Coaster gets harder challenge mode, new blueprints, repaired taco icons

New blueprints and a harder challenge mode are just a few of the ingredients in rollercoaster park-builder Planet Coaster's [official site] first patch. Update 1.0.1 also contains traditional fare like bug fixes and optimisations but I'm enjoying the patch notes for phrases like "Tacos icons now appear in Guest Inventories correctly" and "Guests re-equip balloons when leaving rides".

I've just been reading Fraser's review of the game and am considering dedicating the rest of the day to constructing "PIPWORLD! The best place on earth"™ but before I vanish into theme park construction I should probably finish this news story. Where was I? Oh yes.

Here's the full list of what's been changed or updated so far. The patch also comes with the reminder that a December patch will be adding free content of some description:

New blueprints
