It's more the pre-Internet equivalent of click bait: "are your socks lying in wait to kill you? Details at ten!" Then they run the story and they talk about how a university tested a bunch of socks for hazardous chemicals from manufacturing and they passed inspection. The intro was a bit i...

Huzzah! I'm glad you can play again.

Screenshots of your layout would be helpful. This sounds rather irregular.

I mean, it's not that hard to prevent spambots. There are many plugins for forums like these to do so, and simple Captcha works too usually. They have a captcha. The problem is that it's been cracked by the bot programmers because it's one of the default captchas that comes with phpBB, none of whic...

Well have you tried disabling one card? The code for Prison Architect has been changing a lot over time: an optimization may have broken your setup.

You say it's likely not a hardware problem, but what hardware are you using? Knowing your OS would also help.

Have you updated your graphics card's driver? If it's been a while, try updating. If you've updated recently, try rolling back. Software is weird like that sometimes.

Or you could just use the Steam forums. They're more active than these boards, and while people always say "you should post your suggestion on the official boards; the devs never check here" obviously they never check these boards either.

What are that prisoner's traits? It sounds like you have a Legendary prisoner running around somewhere that's not secured against someone as deadly as they are.

That one spam bot has got up to fifty posts now, every one of them reported. I'm seething with rage (okay, simmering with disdain). I would never let this happen in any of the communities I've moderated. Apparently tweeting @IVSoftware every night isn't enough to get them to notice that their OWN BO...

Well then maybe the admins should do what they can to harden the forum against spambot attack. These bots are allowed to make their first posts un-moderated despite including many links in them, and the boards use an old-style captcha that is easier for bots to answer than humans (the phpBB thread o...

I hollered at them on Twitter last night: no response, no spam deletion, nothing. Seriously, if they need someone to moderate I'll do it. Just anyone to kill the spam bots. Maybe, if we want to move into really advanced territory, they'll fork over a hundred bucks to buy forum software that isn't no...

I've reported stuff and it still been there days later. The moderators aren't even logging on once per day.

I'm still crossing my fingers for a Spaceport Architect mod to be made. Or for someone who knows how to make good sprites to like the idea and help me make it myself.

That helps weed out some stuff, but some contraband (especially the hated wooden pickaxes) can't be detected and even with the stuff that can be detected the metal detectors will still let contraband through if the prisoners crowd through it.

If tunnels were auto found then why have them? I wonder that myself. Right now tunnels don't add good gameplay, they just add a layer of tedium. I mean, I enjoy the fact that they add a design constraint (keep cells away from exterior walls, or you won't have a fun time), but I don't think that the...
