Hi, my prison works so far really nice. The amount of Weapons and Tools is nearly zero. Tunnels are a rarity and get detected more or less automaticly or with some very rare cell block searches when the prisoners are currently not in it. I have a good daily cashflow and most Needs are under control....

So far my new prison is running on day 21 current prisoner hold 70. During those 21 days I had less then 10 different tunnels in total. The most important part to stop your prisoners from digging is keeping the tools low. Kitchen is off-limits for my inmates. Workshop/Cantine are metal detector prot...

I must do something wrong in my prisons I think. Cause digging is never that much of a problem for me. In a Cell check every 2 days about 5% of my inmates only dig a tunnel but I manage to keep the amount of tools in my prison extremly low. In my opinion the amount of tunnels really should not be ne...

You can buil on the road rigth at the beginnig when you start a new game. Later you cant wich is annoying

And another question :) Why can I build stuff like walls or Jail Doors on the road at the beginning of a new prison but can not do it later? http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/Der_Doodle/2fc2cf32-e099-41ea-b7df-8d0b77dd61cf_zps3afe38eb.jpg This way you can even mark the Delivery area as "...

Hi I am playing only since Alpha 13 so I still have some questions :) - ok some of this might be similar to suggestions for future alpha versions... 1. do prisoners have the opportunity to pick contraband from rooms while they are being escorted in handcuffs by guards? My prisoners get usualy escort...

Dont wanna think about any "riot" (can you even call that in the water) of prisoners in the pool area... and the amount of flooting bodies after it

Hmm wouldnt that mean that I could have 20 workers without complain round the clock 24h a day in my workshop making money? for example: Max Security works from 12pm to 8am Normal Sec works from 8am to 8pm Low Secutity works from 8pm to 8am and they wouldnt complain then about too much work. Not sure...

Metalsheets will be transported from the delivery area to the workshop by workers not prisoners. I will try this ... BUT my workers wont transport any metalsheet to the workshop... they are not interested in this job... only the prisoners will get the metal... a stationed guard in the delivery-area...

This is what I do. No shower regime, sometimes works ok. How did you manage 120 prisoners? I don't have enough income to support that kind of growth, even after completing all the grants. What am I missing? 120 prisoners is easy possible without any cheating at all. Yes you start slow and expand ov...

Currently regime working for me is:
5h sleep
1h shower
2h free time
5h work
1h free time
4h work
1h yard
2h lunch
3h free time

yeah i know slave work shedule... 5h sleep 9h work 8h free time/yard/shower 2h eat

but it works fine.

Why do they nerf the tunneling rates? As long as you keep the amount of tools low-ish and check the cells every 2nd or 3rd day or so tunnels really are no problem at all. I inspect my cell blocks usually during lunch or work times so the cells get searched but not the prisoners in general (less comp...

New Arrivals will be escorted by guards through the staff only areas.

Metalsheets will be transported from the delivery area to the workshop by workers not prisoners.

So a staff only area cutting your delivery area apart from the rest of the prison does not affect anything

I like to do shakedowns every 3 days,, but sometimes I forget what day I'm on. Especially if I don't play everyday. Especially with tunnels now. But you are correct, is not a huge need. Why dont you then do a Shakedown on every day that can be divided by 3? :) so no matter at what day you reload yo...

Hi just a short question.

If my prison receives new inmates can they steal contraband while they are escorted from delivery to their cell if the path leads through storage or the kitchen?

Thanks for the help.
