I'll give it some testing when I find time for it, however I'm a bit hesitant on that one as it modifies the kitchen (which may cause issues with other mods) and introduces a new item (which means existing prisons need to be adjusted to make it work properly).

added metallic phones and lighters

I'd say that currently the game is like many sims in that it's primarily needs management - which is perhaps why the game becomes less interesting after a point, because eventually the optimal timetable, and layout staff ratios etc will be found, allowing everything to run on auto-pilot, (which led...

Those calculations floating around for a break-even point are based on the assumption that all prisoners released have exactly that limit as chance which is certainly not the case. E.g. out of my last 100 released prisoners only 5 prisoners had a re-offending chance above 20% (which were the superma...

You all realize that the amount of money you earn isn't the only metric, right? Prisoners who make superior beds benefit from it more than prisoners who do not. The diminished cost of the beds should be seen as money invested in prisoner reform (though the balance may still need some tweaking). xan...

That's a known bug - right now the tazer certification only works as expected if it's scheduled during work time (for some prisoner type) - else everyone just leaves as soon as it starts.

You should just stay put and keep waiting - updates usually come out at the end of the month. It's not January being late, December was just early (probably due to holidays).

oh, nvm... it's that old. ok, without drug addictions it's understandable the re-offending rate is so low

But who'd drive the truck when they die then? What happens at the moment when that happens? never seen it personally! At least if one dies the other could drive it away If the driver takes too long to return the truck will just leave without him. Also: one is already annoying enough given how fast ...

A 7% grading is quite amazing given the penalties you get from drugs which you can't do anything about... now I'm curious! Would you mind sharing that one?

Cold storage and more spread out deliveries would be a nice feature, too, indeed. However I was more looking towards multi-stage ware distribution as you'd find it in pretty much everything that's big. Splitting the process into the quick processing of incoming goods and a (possibly) slower distribu...

But who'd drive the truck when they die then?

Also: one is already annoying enough given how fast they jump to pick things up despite a big chunk of workmen right next to them.

added separator room which simply defines a new sector without doing anything else, so you can e.g. separate your cell block and your yard without requiring superfluous walls/doors

depends on how small the building is - I wanted to use perimeter walls as indoor walls in my supermax block for style points - turned out that bulldozing just the walls and placing perimeter walls there completely broke the laundry delivery. Once I made the surroundings of the cells indoor again thi...

just... ewww. I don't want my prisoners to pee in the shower!
