I like how it is now in Alpha 14, I usually get the odd prisoner who likes to dig and I keep tabs on it, rather than A13 which I had countless diggers every day.

Much appreciated hotfix, I gave up on PA until Alpha 14 but now I can enjoy the changes in the mean time.

Yeah same here 5hrs max, one of the reasons I am not going to bother with this Alpha, see how 14 goes.

That's a feature since Alpha 12, occasionally the metal detectors will give a false positive.

I have found that it goes off roughly around 1 in 30 prisoners for no reason, which isn't rare enough IMO. Have a prison of a 100+ inmates going to eat and you need gaurds chasing them around all the time. I do like the feature but just like the speed prisoners get released it should be toned down s...

I have got into the habit of save and reload when it is time to get up, stops them losing sleep.

Most of my saving a reloading is either to improve performance drastically (not sure what is going on) or so prisoners can change clothes again.

I also had this issue, didn't see any threads about it and just checked the save file myself and managed to fix it. Won't make that mistake again.

I've had the same issue since alpha 10.

Yep


for now I just take on maximum security prisoners and I haven't had a problem getting enough yet. I do have to top up a lot though.

I like false positives but they don't seem all that rare. I have 57 prisoners and it will pretty much always give two false positives when they pass through to the canteen to eat.

I would like the false positives to be a bit more rare than that.

Thanks for discovering and sharing the cause of this, due to the old bug of hitting bangup button when you click the bureaucracy screen I have always used the ESC key. The only way I could get rid of it was restarting PA.

After saving and loading they took there new Cloth. So no big Problem.

Yeah but you have to repeat that over and over, good thing they don't riot due to clothing anymore.

Yep happens to me also, but now always.

With out checking the savegame, how many prisoners do you have? I find when I get somewhere above 120+ the prisoners start doing weird things, like starting to satisfy their needs but then stop. They get in bed then get up again, this ends up leading to riots and a mess. I hope this is fixed soon.

It currently works on demand, if there is a demand you will get a order at the top of the next hour. I would like to be able to manually purchase steel, having it roll up every hour with food and what ever else is wasteful and annoying. I would like to order a couple thousand dollars of steel at som...
