[Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
I know it's not the first mod which adds thirst to Prison Architect, but I'm trying to add some depth to the content. I tried to go to the limits with the modding system. Notably features:
- Animations
- Watercooler can only be used when water and paper cups are in place
- Prisoners take filled paper cups
- Cooling unit needs service checks (or bad things may happen)
Mod description:
The mod adds thirst to the needs.
There are 3 new objects to fullfill the need at the moment. All have pros and cons:
Water Fountain:
+ cheap
+ no watersource needed (at the moment)
- relative slow
- puddles of water will slow down walking speed
- puddles have to be cleand by cooks, janitors or workmen
- may take some damage when used
Water vending Machine:
+ medium cost ($2 per bottle)
+ relative fast (instant thirst fulfill)
+ auto refill (job gets called early)
- produces empty returnable bottles
- slower than the water cooler
Water Cooler:
- expensive
- needs to be unlocked
- needs external supply of papercups and waterbottles
- chance to create garbage
+ relative fast (instant thirst fulfill)
+ can be extended with the cold storage room
The cold storage room adds the possibility to store waterbottles. But this comes with additional costs: the cooling unit needs a service check every 100 hours. The service can be called via the emergencies menu and is highly recommended!

Thanks for your nice formulated request.
I've added the link extra for you!
Re: [Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
I've updated the mod today and added new object, the water vending machine.
Next I wanna implement a better way to enable and disable if an object is a provider or not. The current system is far away from ideal.
Changelog:

You spelled 'lazy ones' wrong, it should be ' knoest26'
Re: [Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
i loved it but problem is the returnable water bottles from vending machine could sent to exports room - its cluttering the room - maybe a recycle bins for those items

Unfortunately they don't stack (as they supposed to do) and it's not possible to create a stack manually, but I'll think about an alternative.
Re: [Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
I had a first look at your mod yesterday. It is actually quite nice. One of the few well thought, well drawn and well implemented mods out there. One tiny thing that bothered me a little bit was, that the water fountains doesn't need a water supply... but that is really tiny
The cooling room is actually little too much just for water. Would be nice if it could be used for the kitchen instead of those tiny fridges as well.

upon i reloaded game - the bottles suddenly moved to exports by one and one but afterwards no more bottles was left behind - that's due prisoners didn't use it
Re: [Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
I've updated my mod to v0.3 today. I finally found away to successfully enable and disable an object/provider for needs. I also fiddled around with prisoner routing (Object.NavigateTo()). I don't understand how the function actually works, but it does what it supposed to do now.

Code: Select all
v0.3
=======================
==== Adds ====
- Bottle Rack: stores and orders up to 8 (2 stacks) Water Bottles
- Cold Storage Room now stores ingredients. Fridges will be filled from there
- Prisoners now use bins around the Water cooler for used Paper Cups
==== Changes ====
- Cold Storage Room and Cooling Unit don't need "Water Cooler Contract" anymore
- New sprites for stacks of Water bottles (now 4 bottles per stack instead of 3)
- Better behavior when drinking from the water cooler
- Water Cooler now acts properly depending on Water Bottle or Paper Cups supply
- Better on/off switching of the Water Cooler
- Service Mechanic now searches in a 200 cells radius for Cooling Units (until I figure out a better solution)
==== Fixes ====
- fixed bug with Water bottles after loading a savegame
- fixed proper Water Cooler dismantel
- some smaller bugs related to Water Bottles and Water Cooler interaction
- loaded Water Bottles now show different fill hights (calculation error)
Re: [Mod] Chad's Drink Mod
Is it actually normal that it doesn't work with a saved game or am I doing something wrong? When I want to try it I always have to start from the scratch...

New needs are not added to savegames. There's nothing I can do about that (and I've tried to!)
