Guard dogs are excellent just setup patrols around your prison blocks. As said before metal detectors in and out of every room which contains items which could be used for tunneling and paving around your buildings. Another tip is to do a shakedown just after the prisoners go to bed every night or e...

I enabled it on one of my old saves with around 250 prisoners. I made 3 random prisoners leaders of each colour gang. A leader is one sure quick way to make gangs big, within a day they had all recruited around 15-20 members. within the following days they seem to reach a limit to their gang size of...

Woop! The Carpentry program is fixed! Suddenly had 180 prisoners now interested in it! Oh and I can now use shops which are now making over $1k a day

I allow freefire, mainly because I had High Sec and wanted to get some gang members in

As far as I am aware like some room types it will require a wall and a door (ie its enclosed).

Think im gonna try this tonight, got an existing prison which ive copied and added in gangs however the intake of gang members is far too slow, let alone a leader turning up!

It also didnt help when 3 of my red gang decided to kick off together only to all be shot and killed :\

Its because you included the door tile as a cell. Remove the 1 square of room on the door tile and should fix it.

Alpha 35 should have the lights as optional for the foundations, according to Mantis this has been adressed

Dont think it would be water related. I always put pumps joining the power generator and never had a fire. Maybe something specific on that grid?

I had a fire once, killed 600 inmates trapped in the canteen.

In my prison mail sachels were flooding not just the mail room but also deliveries room and that messed up everything since new prisoners nor food wasnt coming in. And i dont really have the room for 4 mail rooms (min, medium, max and PC) and even if i did i dont know if that would work. I was tryi...

I first got PA in alpha34a, through Steam. My first prison was a small one, and I managed to get several carpenter apprentices. Didn't think anything about it. Now, I sold that prison, and have a medium prison. I may have had one person show interest, but no attendees. Maybe the conditions have to ...

I've done both. That's one thing I've never had an issue with. Well my prison at the moment has had over 200 people pass the Workshop safety course, and never have I had 1 interested in the Carpentry. I am on my 4th of 5th prison since 34 dropped and not had 1 ever interested. In 33 Carpentry was t...

It's actually not a bug. It relates to how you run your prison. If you satisfy the prisoner needs, don't keep them fully suppressed and keep them reasonably happy they will sign up for all kinds of programs. In my current prison i average about 250 prisoners and I have 6 making beds every day. Post...

Why cant there just be 1 sachel for each mail room worker?
