it is a release (steam only, non-steam will never see it), it was intended...there will be 2-3 more this month (depending on weather or not they take a week off (like they have been doing). no announcement/vid will be released. it is not beta, not yet. (just a bug sweep) the "42%" no doub...

I've long been of the opinion that everything (including people) need to have more hitpoints. Either that or the damage dealt from most weapons, including fists, needs to be reduced, and quite drastically in some places. I've seen some prisoners take down a jail door with fists in a couple of real-t...

Interesting. Well we need to ask IV how they'd like to handle this in Mantis. I would think, at a minimum, they'd want to add these releases to the "Product Version" field on Mantis. Obviously for bug reports to be meaningful, they need to be reported against a very specific build. This is...

Have a look at this. This thread suggests that the game track deaths and escapes just like the contraband screen. That's the best way to handle this that I've seen suggested.

First Bugbash came out for steam users. They fixed the guards seeking medical attention (but there is now a new bug: http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=4439), drains and some other things. Its coming along nicely Was this supposed to happen yet? The Bugbash-1 roadmap is only 42% completed a...

Got it, thanks. Didn't catch that the first time.

The releases on steam will be in a seperate branch, and are for testing if the bugs really are fixed :) And also to test if a bugfix created/revelead new bugs. So those not using steam aren't missing out on any real release. Just felt to clarify that :) Are you saying IV are going to make use of St...

I'm going to start targeting the laundry (04 on the assignments ). Any chance of a path finding mother bug as there are loads of path related issues and potential dupes, there is probably a shared root cause behind the pathing issues. Certainly makes sense. If you leave me a list in this thread, I'l...

Discussion here, along with Mantis artifact IDs etc.

Unless the situation changed since Alpha-19, I remember prisoners seeing staff doors as simply a weaker jail door. They can request access through the door so long as they're allowed access to the zone on the other side. To the non-guard staff members, it's a door they have a key to. A workaround is...

I believe IV envision the military at this point to be purely an end-game cut scene, making losing the game more interesting than a "you lose" sign coming up. I suppose they could certainly be added as you suggest, but if you're at the point where you couldn't control your prison with guar...

A lot of discussion on your questions takes place starting on page 7 of the Mantis announcement thread (starting with this post specifically). Read through the rest of the thread from there. Essentially, we're not sure what IV's intentions or wishes are for controlling the growing number of duplicat...

Personally I would like to see sniper towers armed with sedatives, even though this doesn't happen in reality but it would stop prisoners who try to escape just being shot to death, that or a shoot to wound vs. shoot to kill toggle. I think a lot of these types of issues will be worked out once pri...

I like the ideas, especially with the utility screen cleanup. I'd personally go with all utilities being visible and faded out, except for the selected utility which you can interact with. This way you don't need to keep selecting back and forth if you want utilities grouped together. I'd also go wi...

I had this happen once. Was never able to reproduce, but essentially saving and then reloading the save corrected the problem. Try exiting out of the game completely and then loading if no success. Let us know if you still have a problem. Try removing and rezoning (possibly moving) the delivery zone...
