PLEASE... 30 minute increments for regime scheduling

[Bkent2734]

30 minutes increments wo uld be SOOOO much better and make things so much easier. Hour long increments is just too long for many things, yet getting from place to place takes 30 minutes. Can anyone make a mod for this?

[Phraxas]

It's not moddable just yet. Although, I personally don't see too much of the point of 30 minute increments because, as you said yourself, it can take 30 minutes for them to get across the map. But I'm all for absolute user power and customization, so anything that gives more control is good in my book.

Can make a big difference. 30 minutes for walking and then an hour for eating. That 30 minutes I gain to have "free time"..or travel time back to their cells. As it is, I have to schedule 2 full hours for eating. Then I have to schedule a seperate 2 hours for the minimum inmates to eat (I don't let the medium and minimum mix)... the extra 30 minutes from here to there can be divided up between travel, eating, free, work, sleep. If I take just 30 minutes off each one of those...that that 2.5 hours I've gained purely because I can have more control of the time rather than a full hour scheduling. Thats HUGE.

Yes, this would be cool. I would enjoy 30 minute increments. 15 min would be good too.

15 minutes would be great, but you know what would be really awesome? Planck time increments.

That'd be neat. I could mix planck-time-spikes of Yard Time into the Sleep Time to regularly wake and annoy all my prisoners.

(That said, 30 minutes I could see viable, but 15 seems a bit short...I don't think we need to optimize our schedeules that much.)

No to mention having a simple 30 minutes to set for "free time" so that they have potty time, would be soooo beneficial.

Or changing 'Shower' to 'Personal Hygiene', which then includes toilet and shower.

The regime slots don't tell the prisoners what to do, only where to go (with the "Work" blocks being the exception which proves the rule, kind of). During a shower block, prisoners will go to a room that has been designated as a shower and will attempt to fulfill any needs possible while in that room. Put some toilets in your showers to solve the problem.

Yes to 30 minutes.

15 would be awesome, but I don't think it's needed.

30 minutes would be great would help a lot.
I also don't want to mix up my prisoners, but I would also like to have 1 common yard, and from there 3 seperate wings for min/max/med prisoners. and way for every possible work place. How ever, I always end up having some max prisoners making trouble at that yard, while mediums are passing by, and then all h**l brakes loose, and pretty soon everyone is rioting, and they overpower my guards.

As only way out of the prison is trough holding cell, only way to stop them from escaping is lockdown -> gather every guard in to that holding cell -> and wait until they brake trough in to there.
Deathcount is usually over 30 before I get peace in there, and talking about all the repair expenses...
