If you're in windows Vista or beyond, you can manually change the volume slider in windows for the application. While the game is running (and has output some kind of sound), click the speaker icon in the lower right corner of windows and pick mixer. Then turn down the volume for the PA app. (this s...

I really like this idea, however its only worth while implimenting if prisoners are given an ability to break out (or external force breaking in) via cutting normal fences/climbing them You can bet they will - tunneling is already coming in next build according to Chris. :lol: I like the idea - but...

Foreman currently only seems to unlock the two janitorial employee types - I suspect he might be in charge of queues and work schedules in the future (like making zones and giving them priorities throughout the day)

Clearly this forum will soon be known as being one of the unfriendliest places to visit on the web due to a couple users that think everybody is a pirate if they post anywhere but the alpha dev forum. You'll see that most game developer forums actually require you to post tech support / bugs / buil...

No help for questions that have nothing to do with bug reports or feature suggestions? What? Do we want the bug reports to get buried beneath general questions and discussions? There's a reason this is called the general board, guys. There's also a reason why the developer forum is ONLY available t...

You don't really need that many drains - all they do is block the water from passing, it doesn't "drain" it at all. So in front of the cells, and on the bottom and top sides. (Just a tip - aesthetically it looks nice)

So where exactly is the developer's subforum? I don't see any forum other than this one under the "Prison Architect" tab. Edit: Also where do I use my license key? I got it in my email but don't know where/when to use it, as I can play the game without using it anywhere. It's hidden away ...

My lights aren't short circuiting while I'm in the shower - Really don't see why a properly isolated camera should either. It's not like it's on the floor - and even if inmates were splashing water at it, it should be able to take it.

Good lord mik - are you the self appointed cardinal of "Make the game cheaper" chapel? On and on like a drone.

This - There's a reason why we have it. If you can't figure out how to tie your game key to your forum account, feel free to help.

Till then - No help here.

I'd also like to have some better indication of what is in and outdoors. Either through the utilities (sewer) layer, or a faint overlay you can toggle. The way it is now, you can easily forget what is a building, and what is outdoors corridors.

I like your thinking gun. Also you could further improve foundation building by allowing the player to pre-plan walls and objects onto the foundation as it is being built to save time - and allow for edits. Anything there by the point of "grand opening" (I'm thinking a quick - OK - prompt ...

Televisions for everyone - it fixes almost everything.

I'm sure most of us have had some manner of issue with the foundation tool. Here's my personal take on it. Foundations are just that - foundations. It's the concrete you put beneath the building flooring which makes an outdoor area, indoors (i.e. it has a roof). No more silly autoplaced walls at edg...

Unpack the data files you lazy git - It's all there - in original png crispyness.

(Tip : They are actually RAR files - open them with it and unpack the whole thing and go spelunking)
