Thanks for the answers.

Too bad there exist only workarounds and no solution.

I wanted to take a look at PA again after a long pause. I stopped playing a few updates ago because I really can't enjoy the game when it forces a specific play style on me with the cell grading, which I unfortunately don't particularly like. I saw that when starting anew prison in the menu there ar...

So I tried to log in to the PA Wiki using the same credentials as always, which I used for a few years now. But now suddenly I get a message "No account with this name exists".

Is this a known problem?

Kinda disappointing that cell grading still is not opt-out like gangs or events.

If we have the same mod in mind, the mod actually adds vegetables and everything. I think OP is more taliing about normal gardener work, which they already do now, scrubbing the outsides and planting trees.

I would love it if cell grading could be deactivated with a check box like gangs can be deactivated. Cell grading forces a certain play style upon players, if they like it or not. It minimises creative or alternative ways to play the game. I for example had a very different approach to supermax, pro...

Too detailed, I like the general idea of "too much force = broken". Keeps it simple.
But doors breaking faster when using tools sounds good, actually.

Interesting update.

Now that we basically have "levelling" for prisoners, the same would be neat for staff.

Even more intake/delivery zones? Meh... We just have gotten the intake room which basically does that. It takes a few minutes for the guards to move them there, but I don't see any benefits of a separate drop-off zone.

Deville, that is exactly what I was saying but I was being generous to those who may prefer to have a mixed population or who may not segregate their prison by security level. For those of us who do (I would assume this would be a high percentage) then we need the ability to pick for each area what...

Cell reassignment should give prisoners the best possible cell within their own security ranking first then drop down to shared cells if and only if there is not a cell left within their own level then as soon as a cell opens, they should immediately be booted from shared and moved to their zone. ....

Prisoners should just be located to the cell closest to their level in their designated security zone, no further "they are too high we have to do some weird maths and put all the rpisoners in the holding cell". Never should Maxsec be moved to general level cells if there are Maxsec cells....

Not a big fan of how the room grading system works, to be honest. Mostly (or only, actually) because it requires the prison to have different level cells. In what prison are there different types of cells on purpose ? And if no low grade cell is available, why not be kind and give a higher graded ce...

You can have a separate regime for super max. They don't necessarily need shower times, just put a shower in their cell. They can not get food delivered to their cell, only if it's a solitary cell. To allow them to use the yard individually, currently an idea might be to give each cell a small "...

I just had a prisoner escaping through a tunnel under a perimeter wall.
