Hi all,

I'm trying to start a fire to test new Alpha 5 features, but i've never seen a fire. Maybe i'm just lucky, what do you guys think? I see Chris Spawning fire, it would be nice have access to his tools ( or some of them ) ?

I always assumed building something electrical inside the shower would cause a fire. Like a generator, stove, television. I will have to try this when I get home.

rofl , it took about 48hrs, but i have fire in shower, just put a few cookers in shower room and removed drains.

it only started small fire. and didn't spread, but i did get the fire engines in to deal with it.

You can just picture the confusion with the inmates: why is there a stove in the shower?

I guess it's for easy steaming? Might make prisoners think twice before eating that bowl of rice and beef.

They should make fire's less rare.

No they should not make fires common, the things are a bloody mess. Unless you're quick to act and have every last prisoner in their cell that fire pokes holes through your outer walls pretty quickly and your prisoners are home free at that point.

But i have never seen a fire till i started putting electrical things in stupid places, i just want to be able to test new features, we are playing alpha, i wouldn't want it in the beta, but for testing it would be good for people like me who never seen fire without trying HARD to start one.

Whilst this is an alpha, they want us to test the game as it is meant to be played, not test our ability to mess around with dev tools. Id love access to the dev tools, but i think if we had that access, IV wouldn't of had as much useful feedback as they have.
