Re: Staff not eating

My initial attempts to remedy the lack of trays issue was only a stopgap. Even with more serving tables in the staff room and more cooks and kitchens to improve the flow of trays, peek prisoner eating times was still had a problem for tray demand in the staff room. I noticed, however, in the food lo...

Re: Staff not eating

I couldn't get a second staff room to have food delivered to it, so I'm still using one for now. I'm keeping things fairly stable with 1 staff break lasting 120-150 minutes, which is enough time for everyone to walk to the one staff room I have. Not ideal though; would be nice if the food distribute...

Re: [Suggestion] Broken Gangs and Gangleaders

I have this one gang-leade in my prison, legendary dude with about 10 traits (super tough, extremely deadly, etc.), who has already killed maybe 20 guards in around 10 years. If I punish him (which happens automatically depending on my regime) the whole prison will riot in no time, because the secu...

Re: bug in Export of wood

There's definitely something a big strange going on here with logs being taken directly to the exports. This was with a few carpenter's tables set up. I removed the exports and tried it again when I had a very mature prison. I haven't seen one log go to exports, and I don't think the workshop machin...

Re: bug in Export of wood

I haven't tried update 3 yet, but are there any functioning carpenters tables in the workshop? If not, the game will assume that it's more economical to sell the wood as-is since you have no means of producing it further. If you want to stockpile it for when you do have carpenters, you'll need to re...

Re: [Suggestion] Multiple category zones

This is one of my biggest issues with the game presently. The only workaround is to create "airlocks" all over your prison leading into buildings and areas where shared access is desired. In this case, you'd have to ensure that prisoners have to pass through two tiny and parallel areas sep...

Re: Cannot change gang member cell - bug or feature?

I don't see why gang member cells should be different from regular prisoner cells with respect to searches or their cells being changed. While I think it would be a cool for certain prisoners (not necessarily tied to the gang mechanic, which wouldn't even apply if players have gangs disabled) to res...

Cannot change gang member cell - bug or feature?

Gang member cells currently do not allow the player to make changes to them, just like captured territory. It's currently tracking as a bug on Mantis with more reports coming in. In Mantis and on the forums, I've also seen a good amount of confusion stem from this issue with players wondering why th...

Re: Outdoor Window... not being recognized?

Certain constructions can make it difficult to tell what is technically outside especially if it's an area that has been worked on several times over several saves. Recommend you drag the destruct foundation tool around the area. Everywhere it's green is inside, and red it's outside. Otherwise, I'd ...

Re: Prison Architect Alpha 23

I was wondering if you could explain a little further how to use logic circuits and logic bridges? Like show a configuration for something simple so that I could get the idea of how it connects and explain what each of the and, or, what NAnd and xor is.. etc. Every time I connect a logic circuit, 2...

Re: [SUGGESTION] Allow Large Prison Doors to be rotated

Awesome! Thank you! I guess I just assumed that the visual queue was the only way to tell. It would be great if we could get a little arrow pointing in the direction of operation. Also for things like CCTV where orientation is critical. You're welcome. An arrow or any other graphical indicator for ...

Re: [SUGGESTION] Allow Large Prison Doors to be rotated

The graphic shown while you're placing doors is misleading. Even though there's only one graphic for a double door to be placed "vertically" or "north to south," the door's operations will respect the rotation you dictate. There's just no visual help. ⋅ Place a door ope...

Re: Cooks won't cook. I've tried everything. [RESOLVED]

I fixed it. I researched micromanagement and apparently none of my cell blocks were assigned to a canteen, so demand was zero. I just couldn't see it without micromanagement. Thanks for the help, all! IV's intention was for the automated algorithm to handle most situations. I can't downloaded your ...
