When the fastest speed is too slow....

Postby Oddible » Thu Jan 09, 2014 6:03 am

Have gotten myself into a bit of a bind. I'm making money but I'm out of money. The second I get some I spend the trickle that is coming in, barely able to build one new cell each day. The problem is my prison is super smooth so it doesn't really require much monitoring. I'd love the ability to SUPER SPEED it, or get a speed boost to the next event / alert / etc. Waiting an entire day of nothing new happening until I have money to spend blows.

I have exactly the same issue. 70 prisoners, smooth running but if I expand another cell block, I am down to almost no cash. All the trees are used, workshops running. Maybe I need to build more/bigger workshops.

I think you are right, build a bigger workshop and see the money coming =)
I have around 70 prisoners two workshops with a total of 16 saws and 16 presses, that generates around $5,000 / day. ($10,000 before the days metal purchases).

The fastest speed is quicker than you can build objects, but when you build too big it gets slower. Wait for more performance updates and for the game to be more balanced and more interesting

In Alpha 16, i havent build so far to get to this point, but this was my first thought as i read the Release Notes announcing the workshop income nerf. I think additional tweaking is needed here, but as can be seen with the lumber stuff, Introversion seems to introduce new economy trees, so perhaps this is obsolete in near future .)

The game is very unbalanced yet, so cheating is kinda fair play.
