Hi guys, I love Alpha 9!
so, I've got a prison with 100 prisoners living inside it quite nicley, but i want to expand. But i don't want to make a whole new map. Can i edit the .PRISON file too do so, and how can I.
Here's the download if you want to try it for me!

Im not 100% sure, but I think you can edit the size in the file. This might f**k up your save, so have a backup.

Yeah.... there is no way of expanding the map size limit, so....

But I once had around 250 prisoners on a medium map, so everything is possible :)

i would try opening the save in notepad ++ then going to

NumCellsX 150
NumCellsY 120

and editing those values.

there is a big problem with that way
each field of the map is descripted within the save file
so editing the values for NumCellX/Y just make the map unloadable
you have to add every single new cell as a line of code like this:
BEGIN "X Y" Mat PavingStone Con 0.000000 END

also you have to adjust the truck route and the delivery and garbage zone or else no new prisoners will arrive because any thing would be move from its posiiton
