Guards not using the security room

Postby Frannyan » Sat Jan 04, 2014 1:55 am

Slight headscratcher here. Old version, I made the security room and the guards went there to hang out when they weren't doing anything. New version, they just hang around outside the front gate or in the canteen and ignore the room unless I station them there (in which case, they never leave even when there's something to do.)

Any ideas?

Security room has served no function in any alphas, except to congregate the staff as you have said. I wouldn't be worried. If you want, add some extra patrols to lower the idle workers. Meh.

I have to agree, whenever I start a prison with 2 guards one goes to guard the delivery and the other goes to the canteen leaving all my prisoners to free roam around the prison.

And it even says so if you research security "Currently doesn't serve a purpose"

I've joined my chief's office and security room and have all the CCTV monitors in there. Adding a few guard patrols to the security room looks alright,
