To be honest, I pirated PA too.. After about 3 hours of gameplay I liked it so much that I went on Steam and bought it. Not just PA but most of my 150+ Steam games actually.. I pirate if there's no demo available. So it can be a good thing! It is never a good thing, except for the pirate. But then ...
Weapons and tools were used in the past. I read the change log to mean that prisoners will use them more often and/or more intelligently. Pure speculation, but I also assumed this change was due to prisoners sometimes not using weapons and/or tools when they should be, which probably went unnoticed...
Hey Introversion; Im encountering a very odd bug, i have some road gates set up, and this empty truck just keeps coming and going. Over and over again, it never picks anything up, and it never drops anything off. The garbage is also not being picked up, and its begun to build up. Soon, my prison wi...
As posted in Mantis as well: This is not a bug, but a user preference. "Shared security" is a valid assignment for any prisoner, no matter if it is a high or a low security prisoner. This means that if you don't want any type of prisoner in there, you should not allow them in there. ??? O...
Had the CCTV on lighting up the room with a guard at the control panel, saying there no one inside as it pans back & fort. Sent a guard in & there where people in there. Had it with the visitors room, visitors + inmates hidden (Alpha 15 not tried it in Alpha 16 yet) & in the showers inm...
They will use weapons in fights, tools for escape. But what I mostly wondering is Lighter. They are still categorized Luxuries rather than Destructive contraband. Will Prisoners now set the prison on fire? I dont know.I have seen some but prisoners only threw them away, nothing important.. 1. They ...
I am wondering about the changes to contraband in Alpha 16. FTR The changelog says that prisoners make more effective use of contraband when misbehaving, with the following caveats : 1. Lighters when feeling destructive 2. Weapons when getting into fights 3. Tools when escaping. What I don't underst...
I would say this is just a hangup of how the system works, considering you are not really meant to put a bed in solitary any more then you are meant to put a sink in the morgue. Doing so causes problems tot the alpha engine. My guess at how SUPPRESSION works is that any activity that is performed (w...
The only other use of a bin that I've seen is in the kitchen. The cooks will go out of their way to place trash bags in the bin. Doesn't seem like that serves a purpose at the moment except to be aesthetically pleasing to the player. Its actually more efficient time wise on your cooks, as they do n...
When I was writing the Bio for my guy based off the book "1984" I was worried about this sort of thing,This is how mine goes: Name: Winston "unperson" Smith Birthday 1984.10.10 (Release date of a 1984 film adaption) Bio : A former history editer working for the Ministry of Truth...
Forgive my ignorance but what is a COMPLAINT ? Do the PRISONERS complain about things and this affects gameplay somehow ? I am assuming this is reflected by unmet needs somehow ? What does a COMPLAINING inmate look like (ie how do I tell). Thanks in advance Take a visit to the wiki: http://devwiki....
The teeny-tiny screenshot is difficult to make out. However, after starting up PA here, it seems that complaints still cannot be punished. Of course, I don't see anything in the change log to indicate that this has changed since the last alpha, and the tracker reports are still open. xander Forgive...
I'm enjoying the balance at the moment, in that I have perimeter dog patrols, and a protocol set that searches cells when illegal items are found at metal detectors. It pretty much guarantees I'll find tunnels before they reach a significant distance. If I found more than one or two tunnels in a we...
