[BUGS] Bugs I've encountered so far

Postby zuff » Thu Sep 27, 2012 8:52 pm

Light posts can be rotated, skewing the sprite. Other sprites do this too just can't think of which ones.

Seems quite impossible to prevent inmates from getting to the kitchen for a knife

Big pipes can't be built under walls

Prisoners get stuck in various items, such as benches. Also get stuck in medical beds against walls.

Doors close way too slow allowing prisoners to queue up at StaffOnly doors and get through as a staff member walks by

Kitchen trays don't seem to be automatically repaired

Doors get stuck open when placed next to other items

Water still floods out of the shower even with multiple drains

Dead staff must be sacked in order for them to disappear from the morgue

Dead Prisoners never seem to disappear from the morgue

Not all guards are summoned when a fight occurs

Security Room can't be built regardless of hiring Security Chief

No way to cancelled laid out foundations, can only destroy after built

Foundations placed adjacent to preexisting buildings don't count the preexisting door as an entrance, a second one must be built.

Game crashed when removing room designations

The Security room can be build.

But it serves absolutly now function for me.

Neither the security chief nor guards want to use it in any way.

Can I ask how you were able to build it?

It's supposed to act as a hub where your patrols run through. From it, guard influence should spread out, making prisoners less likely to act up.

One I encounted was when I first started up the game I (for some illogical and curiosity driven reason) clicked on "dump" for the bus carrying the workers when it first appeared. The bus then flew across the screen into the corner and all the workers merged into one. I mean, it's not a game breaking bug, because no one in their right mind should select the "dump" option for a bus carrying workers when it firsts appears. Just thought I'd mention it.
Also... it is a fantastically fun and addicting game. Good job Devs, I think you're onto a winner!

As I build it there stood it needs to be 4x4 and has a chair, office-desk and file cabinet in it. Like an office.

So I build an 6x6 room, furnished it and assigned the security room.
But it did nothing. Noone entered it at any time.

But I read in the wiki
Wiki wrote:An office specifically for your Security Chief.


4x4 Area
Filing Cabinet
Chair
Office Desk


But he refused to see it as an office.

So I have no clue.

Nicotin I can't even get the option to build a security office, it's still grayed out!

My security chief used a regular office just fine.

1. Your doing it wrong ;). Since I had more than 20 knives around and then a big riot I NEVER build the kitchen directly at the canteen. My kitchen is now outside of the prison with some airlocks - it works.

2. Why should this be a bug? Its more like a feature! Please dont change this devs :D. With this you have to think when building

3. What is multiple for you? I am using 4 drains for something like 30 showers and it works fine.

4. I dont think this is a bug. It would be to easy if really every guard would came to the riots in the shower or canteen. Another thing about it: I dont would like that all my cell blocks are not protected anymore just because one little fight is going on between naked guys in the shower doing some ... stuff.

Well then I don't know zuff.

I just "researched" it and could build it.

Maybe it sometimes works and sometimes not
