Don't know if bug or not? PLEASE HELP!

Postby nomnom07 » Wed Apr 30, 2014 1:55 am

I just currently started playing this game and I am hooked! Only sad thing is that I start off new prison and I try to build an HC, but currently it says I do not have the requirments, but I have built foundation doors. The only think I can mark as a room is a shower.... please Help!!

As you can see from this picture once I remove the foundation I can then mark it as an HC, but only the wall sections, I hope this image helps.....

From your screenshoys it seems that the squares under the door is zoned. Remove the zoning from that square and you should be good.
You cannot zone the space under the door as a cell as it has to be BEHIND a door, not contain a door.


Edit--

My apologies, Didnt read what u said.

Can u please show a screenshot WITH proper foundations?

We can't see exactly what is the problem as it is expected not to work if there is no foundation.

Please provide a screenshot WITH foundation, elaborate more as well.

Edit---
I think you are trying to build your rooms outdoors.

Please make sure your rooms are indoors( with foundations). It is a room requirement.
Only shower/forestry/exports/delivery/garbage/kennel/yard
don't need foundations

Here is two example of my issue..... as you can see I have foundation, and tried to select the area, if foundation is built = indoor however that is opposite for me,. also i move area selected off of door area, or to the inside of foundation that does not work as well.

When you zone rooms, select the inside of the walls, dont select the walls as well.

Erm....

When you build foundations make sure you are building the whole room. Not just the walls

I still feel you are building your foundations wrongly.

Foundations must be built on the whole room.

From your screenshot the inside of your "room" is still "outdoors"
Only the walls are indoors but obviously you cant place anything there.

You actually don't have any foundation, only walls built outside on the dirt ground...
