Re: New ways to detect tunnels

I think some simple visual programming stuff would be fun. Y'know, open doors x at time y, to stop the hassle of needing guards to open them, and the such.

Re: Sequel or SDK?

I don't really want a sequel. I want a new game built on the same engine technicaly Technically, all of Introversion's games are built on the same engine. ;) xander Well, a very minimal bare-bones engine at that - at least, we know that the core non-gameplay-related mechanics of Prison Architect (n...

Re: Alpha 13 - what should we focus on next?

I think people don't understand exactly what the issues are with premature optimization, and what premature optimization actually means. The BAD premature optimization is the type hat complicates or limits chunks of code while it's being written. The stuff that saves barely any CPU cycles and will p...

What? Deployment isn't broken, just changed to something better. Now you deploy guards onto patrols, giving more control.

It is a good idea, in principle. However, there needs to be something to stop people placing loads of these all around their prisons (so that contraband still remains a challenge). I see no point in the false-positives and reset time, because then it would be little more than a glorified metal dete...

Actually their 'intelligence' doesn't necessarily come from exact knowledge of the prison layout. They just dig their was out of their building, then advance on the shortest possible route towards the fences, change their direction once they run into a wall, and use pipes if they happen to run into...

Re: A small improvement on contraband and tunnel reveal, ide

If a room, example, workshop is not guarded by guards or security cameras, prisoners will have 100% chance to steal everything they can in it. This way will force players to send at least 1 guard or a security camera to reduce the chances of contraband in an unsecured room. This also applies on oth...

Replies: 11

Having many small cell blocks packed together is better than one big one. If you have a big one, at least separate it with doors. This makes handling riots much easier as your riot guards only need to fight groups of about a dozen prisoners instead of 200 at a time, which means they get more chances...

A better approach might be one that measures the time it takes for the prisoner to get to the edge of the map. If it's above a certain threshold, keep digging further.

Thanks for starting this... After wrestling with 2 new prisons tonight I was going to start my own thread. This is a really challenging update! The risk profile is entirely different...

No, you misunderstand. IF you have a one block shower inside each cell, the game thinks that the cell isn't enclosed.
