Speaking of shortcuts, I would like a Door mouse-click. That is, left-click the door: it opens, pauses a few seconds, then closes. This would be time-saving for situations when I need to open a door to let Workmen/Prisoners into restricted areas, visitors in from the outside, the new road gate, rele...

Off-topic:

I note that your Solitary Cells are 3 tiles plus a door. You can make them one tile plus a door. You also do not need the Solitary Door; a standard Jail Door works as well.

It is a matter of aesthetics and personal taste. Just wanted to offer it as an option, not a suggestion.

I have two kitchens working well. I have a large kitchen for the medium population and a smaller kitchen for the smaller maximum security population. Just outside the max sec kitchen is a Canteen with serving tables for the max-sec prisoners. Food tends to come only from the max-sec Kitchen to this ...

Thank you. Cured my cell assignment problem.

I notice that prisoners are not taking foods.. I'm having this problem as well. In A15c, all prisoners would eat. Now, even with a 2-hour meal time, many remain in their cells and the Needs->Food bar has a long red bar. There is also no blue bar indicating food is being satisfied. This occurs on a ...

Master-Guy,

Your post above ought to be a sticky somewhere. It ought to be in a guide. Well thought out, well explained. Every new player NEEDS that post.

cheers!

That would work. May even be easier to implement.

Yes, I can. And I did. I don't need your permission.

Meeps, Thanks for posting this thread. A lot of good info for new player such as me.

Chris mentioned the Armory in his "What should be concentrate on?" post. Others have talked about various aspects of riots. I would like to expand on some ideas. However, my idea is not for inclusion in alpha, or maybe even beta. Perhaps for post release, when Chris and IV are asking, &quo...

I agree with the OP. Riots are game killers. Especially bad when you don't have 100 to 300 to hire the riot squads. You can do nothing except watch your prison and many, many hours of patient work go down the tubes. even with riot squads, the damage is extensive. Often those members and your entire ...

I'll ignore selis' anti-American and anti-Christian diatribe. I would like to state my opinion on the tutorial scenario. The elements of building could have been presented without the Death Row scenario. That is, just build a cell block, including a foundation and utilities. This has all the constru...

I like the debt ideas of Meeps and MiriW. Would be a nice Accountant perk. Christopher's idea of a job list would be handy as well. xander, if I have limited funds, I want to allocate them to tasks that I choose. May may not have the cash to make all the repairs that the game thinks I need. I want t...

xander, Void, I understand your point. I've been an early-access user for several other games, such as Kerbal Space Program, Space Engineers, and ArmA 3. These are, or were, even pre-alpha when I came aboard. I knew there would be bugs and unfinished textures. However, even as the devs were adding n...

I still say that the ideal solution is to have a tool that builds foundations and only foundations. The foundation tool would designate an area as inside, and place a concrete floor. The player would then be responsible for placing walls and lights. The walls could be any material. This would elimi...
