Restricted Areas

[ElectricGlow]

More relaistically, that entire outside area shouldn't be lethal response. The tiles one away from the fence would be the lethal area, a no-mans-land.

I hope something like this is implemented.

As soon as there is a lethal response zone I'm painting the whole prison with it!



Edit: I would add, on a more serious note, that rooms should have default zone-types. No need to keep painting the canteen open each time.

That's a great idea.

Shower - open
Cafeteria - open
Yard - open
Cells - limited
Medical ward - limited
Office - closed
Workshop - closed
Kitchen - closed
Security - LR closed

I disagree that rooms should have default zone-types.
Being able to choose if you want to have prisoners in the kitchen or not is just fine.

Well, a default is just a default. It would only affect what happens right after you place it without manual changes (and thus what happens if don't research the deployment bureaucracy). You could still change it afterwards.

However I do see a technical difficulty there: A "room" is really just a zone that does not necessarily span an entire room. Deployment-zones however do. So if i combine two zones in one room with contradicting default behaviours in one room, what happens? How can a player tell what happened without deployment?

Btw: For those who haven't noticed, all of this thread up to JASPer.Gamer.9.0s post date back to October 2012 when there were no staff-only zones or doors at all.

I kinda feel that if we are gonna have some real fun with prison breaks and such.

There just needs to be a way for prisoners to be able to sneak around. either that or the zoom out should be lowered or something.

Or maybe if you dont have a guard in a room you dont have vision, not sure if that could work, as in you dont see what is going on with the people there. that would play well into the fact with security cameras later on as then you have those to give a cone of vision in a room without any guards and prisoners can still sneak past those.

You mean something like a fog of war mode?
