I'm enjoying reading everyone's responses, and reasons. Please keep them coming. I set mine to 20%. I feel a 1 in 5 chance to reoffend is pretty low. I have bumped it sometimes - like when I accidentally take on prisoners..oops. I am finding that even with (max) 160 prisoners, the 2 parole rooms can...

The janitors, in my experience do NOT do the full laundry cycle. It's about 1/2 shared with prison labor. The janitors will take dirty uniforms, via the cart, to the laundry room and throw them in the washer. They will take from the washer to the ironing board. Janitors will NOT iron the clothes, mu...

I don't believe the forums offer a way to upload. Dropbox, among other sites, allow you to share files.

If you upload now, I will see the file tomorrow.

Put up your .prison file and I'll take a look sometime today. The jail doors themselves between the kitchen and canteen look like a problem - only guards can open those. Staff doors will prevent prisoner's freely walking into the kitchen, but lets your cooks come and go as they please.

It's in different locations for different computers. Windows is under "%LocalAppData%\Introversion\Prison Architect" it's in the same area as your saves (and mods, apparently) you can always search your computer for the file. please use 2 cents and exercise some effort to your own problem....

I'm having logic impossibilities right now too. I want a door control system to open the road gates with a servo but only if also the door timer is in "open" mode. The Door Control System will not connect to a logic gate. the connect tool expects a servo, and will only finish with that. Cu...

Screen size does seem to be a picky beast.

try deleting the 'preferences.txt' and/or using game options/video and (re)setting your preferred video resolution.

I would like to see some way to move prisoners who commit murder while in custody into Death Row. I don't want to see the ability to just push them to Death Row, it should be an internal metric that the game assigns to the prisoner. Maybe at a parole meeting the result of which would have them elev...

I downvote this. I understand your point, but I kindly turn it down.

Logic gates will only respond to certain actions. Power switches seem to be a negative; pressure plates seem to be a positive reaction.

Not all devices seem to work with the logic gates.

AI regessed a bit in Alpha 31. These are my words, not Introversion. Pathing, and proper room (when there are multiples) took a hit. Doctors improved (I haven't been victim of any of the doctor bugs) but Guard AI and external staff (like the parole lawyer etc) seem to gone a bit retarded.

The regime tells where the prisoners where to go, not what to do. If prisoners can satisfy a need where they are, they will do it (after a short pause). Your yard time is nothing different from others. They go to the yard (on the other side of the door) and then riot when (for example...) a protecti...

Also remember the formula:
1 washer = 2x ironing
1 ironing = 4x basket

Chris, I couldn't find these numbers previously anywhere. Where'd you come up with the numbers? I'll readjust my laundry if this is somewhere by Introversion.

on steam or on it's own (standalone installation.. unpacking an archive and running)? Something's interfering with the data.dat archive. Antivirus? realtime scanner? disk failing? too many possibilities, but bit corruption at it's root is still my bet. even system RAM corruption. Good luck - data in...

That is really a great way to introduce yourself---calling the devs idiots. Please, tell me how I may subscribe to your newsletter? In terms of the logic of lockdown increasing the danger level: if you are in a prison that likes to dole out long stints in solitary, you may be inclined to riot. Seei...
