I am unsure of whether prisoners are released at various times during the day, or only at, say, 8AM (or 9AM - different time from the intake would be better). But whenever I see a prisoner strolling down the road, I worry. Same here, but current patch notes for Alpha 12 say "Prisoners due for ...

That wouldn't make sense if the supply is the potential stuff around your prison (since it's not illegal yet, a shakedown is useless). Yeah, I watched it again and you're probably right, but I still don't get why we would see a graph of what prisoners have on them... oh wait, unless it's like a rec...

Therefore any MC code would not be adaptable without rewriting, and it wouldn't even serve as a good starting point. Ohh, haha. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense and I see what you mean. Sorry for the assumption. Thought you meant the validity of a copyright was based on its simplicity. (I have had...

Does the supply meter in the new contraband report tell you the potential items available for stealing, or the items currently in prisoner possession (either on their person or in their cell)? I believe it's the latter. The Alpha12 video implied it was the former. I thought it was to show you the p...

If it happens again, check to see if there is a tree in the road that needs removing. Trucks get stuck on them a lot.

NOTE: I do not ever use prisoner workers in the kitchen and it is set staff only... Cooks cost a bit but are WELL worth the removal of the escaping prisoner headaches. That was a very descriptive set up (although I am unable to follow it without visuals) and it's all well and good to work that way,...

@xander, You're right, it does depend on the license, which I have no idea what MineCraft falls under. Just saying they should be careful, really. MC maps are binary and much simpler than PA's Sorry, but what? It doesn't matter whether the original code is simpler or not... If code is copy/pasted in...

EDIT: I forgot to say I really like the front gate idea. I would very much like to move the deliveries area so prisoners do not always make a run for it when helping out in the kitchen. As for concentration camp prisons, it's just a game. Who cares what mainstream media thinks? It's an interesting i...

Yes, please. This would be fantastic!

When an object goes into storage, there will be a number for how many you have of that object in the menu. So, just wait for that to change.

It is also possible that the manner in which Prison Architect levels are stored is similar to the manner in which Minecraft levels are stored, and if the code already exists, why reinvent the wheel? Well, unfortunately, it's actually a type of copyright infringement to directly copy/paste code from...

May I ask a related question? I have my auto update on Steam turned off because I use Additional Grants mod (manually installed). Do I need to remove the mod folder before allowing the update? I am fine with starting a new prison if needed.

The world of good business simulators has been a bit dry in recent years... maybe thats why so many people are flockling to PA. Indeed, that is precisely why I'm here. There are no middle ground management games at the moment. They are either far too casual (glorified mini games and facebook crap) ...

What about an option where cigarettes/cigars should only be used while outside of a building or only in the yard? If used inside a building, it muddies the walls and could cause disease. The smoke could accidentally set off fire sprinklers, too.. lol

So the thread was necroed. Some of us are new here after buying the game on the Steam Summer Sale. We may want to express our opinions on issues that we have personally searched for. In which case, this was an idea I was going to bring up myself, so I'm glad someone brought it back up, cause that wa...
