Was happily playing prison architect yesterday when my computer decided it was going to update itself from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Since the update I have been unable to get PA to load up properly. When I launch the program, I can hear the usual background noise for PA, but just have a blank scree...

Its out now, and its fantastic.... love the dogs!!!

Ive found the best way to view tunnels is in the Deployments view. The blank white layout in this view clearly shows the tunnels. Give it a try, it works wonders for me

Genius idea!!!!

What about the ability for guards of chef to do an inventory check? If there are items missing this could automatically start a cell shakedown. Also if a shakedown is started because of missing cutlery from kitchen or tools from workshop, once guards recover the contraband from an individual prisone...

They work their own way towards the prison entrance, let through doors by guards. Do you have any of your doors or gates locked shut or anything which would obstruct the prisoners route out? I had a prisoner who was due to be released, but was in soletry confinement due to a fight with guards the da...

Good idea though

My shower block is similar to yours. Only difference is that I have placed a grate on floor directly underneath each shower head as well as one in the door entrance. Mine never floods

Cant help you with the morgue im afraid as I havent had anyone die yet

Do you have deployment and prison labour researched, and do you have prisoners assigned under deployment tab? Also, is the workshop in its own room and does it fill every tile of floorspace in that room? These are some of the main problems I have read onhere that people sseem to be having issues wit...

I have had the same problem specifically with the laundry. Prisoners were workimg everywhere else but the laundry. I manually disposed of some of the new uniforms from the end of each cell bed by clicking om each one. This seemed to fix the issue as the laundry is back up and running.

[/quote] 1. Let all prisoners leave for the yard/go and eat 2. Click on bed/toilet 3. Click SearchCellBlock 4. Enjoy a hassel free search! 0 prisoners annoyed because you have not searched them, tunnels found fixed and wait a few days till next search. Its pretty simple when you get the hang of it ;...

I think the idea of gangs is brilliant. It would make it more like a real prison. I think it would be good to have specific prisoners targetted by gangs too. For example having the new arrivals (fish :)) targetted purely for the fact that they are new. No racial gang wars though please. As much as t...

I like the idea of tunnels, but they sprout up too frequently in my opinion, and they can tunnel out way too quickly. I would prefer it if there was a limit of a couple of squares tunnelling per night. I am having to shake down my whole cell block evey night just to keep on top of the tunnels.

Ive just clicked on each new uniform and clicked 'dispose'.... had to buy a full new batch of uniforms, but it seems to have worked. The laundry workers have started replacing with new uniforms again, and some of the prisoners seem to be getting changed. Im hoping this isn't just a short-term fix th...
