[Question] How to create a specific kind of cell

[Setari]

So I'm trying to create various cells with no results whatsoever. It seems that the game doesn't recognize there is a door in front of the cell, but everything else is peachy. I'm trying to add a one block shower to them which I think is throwing everything off for whatever reason.

Here's a screenshot:



Kind of sucks this isn't working. Normal 2x3 cells work fine.

Edit: I realize the cell I'm hovering over doesn't have a door but it's the same for the rest of them.

The reason why is because of the way the game defines "Enclosed". To the game, enclosed means that the zone needs to have a wall or door in every direction on the unzoned tiles directly next to it. However, when you place a shower zone in a cell zone, the cell zone will not see the shower zone, which gives you an enclosed error. It's as if the shower zone is just an empty tile to the cell, and the cell is expecting a wall or door to be there instead.

One thing you could do instead is to just leave it as a cell zone, but install a shower head anyways. Then in the regime, set an hour of free time after their sleep time. As of now, prisoners will use objects that are in a zoned room, so if they need to take a shower they will use the nearest shower head (which would be in their cell) during the free time. Take note, if you set the regime to shower, the prisoners will go to the nearest shower zone instead of using the shower heads in their cells.

Hope this helps!

Oh, awesome! Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know the game worked like that as of right now.

Be sure to put the freetime at 8h or later, otherwise the prisoners will just keep sleeping.
