Cannot Disassemble or Dump Item?

Postby brackstone » Sun Dec 01, 2013 2:32 am

I was making a Solitary Cell 2 tall and 3 wide with a bed and a toilet. I put a door on it but it still said I failed to meet the "Surrounded by walls and doors" So I figured "Okay I'll take it apart and put it all back together". I was able to take everything apart and demolish all the walls but the solitary door still remains! I cannot disassemble or dump it.

Is there a cheat command I can use to destroy an item or something?

Please help! This is my second prison after botching my first one. I spent so long making it :(

I purchased the game through steam so it's automatically updating I assume? Or is there another download for it that has more current builds?

Also if the game updates will that fix my prison or do I have to build it all over again?

The problem is often caused by people including the door in the cell room assignment, the door must be OUTSIDE of the room, ENCLOSING it.

if dismantle and dump fails, maybe bulldoze (foundation) works.

This was not the case please have a look at my screen shots.

I've tried that as well but sadly that doesn't work. As you can see from my screenshot I bulldozed all of the walls and removed all of the furnishings (I put a bed and a toilet in there) and my workers still cannot access the door to dismantle or dump it.

I can make a video if anyone would want to see it of exactly what is happening.

I hope the developers check this thread or someone will ask for my prison file as I'd be happy to upload it. This isn't any fun because my entire prison layout is now just stuck because of this.

I truly hope we can get a cheat for "destroy object" until the game is out of alpha or even beta. That would be a fantastic feature! :D

That did it! I had to set the door to be unlocked and then they could access it!

Thank you :D
