[Sugestion] add planning save

[hawk_za]

i find that i have just built an awesome prison but am not keen on selling it because ill have to re-plan the whole thing from scratch it would be nice to be able to save the current prison in a planning mode so when you start a new prison you can call up from a list of planned prisons and not have to work with a pen and paper to recreate features you liked from your old prison.

i.e.
you trace your old prison in planing mode then save it as a planing file
sell your prison
on new map load you can load the saved planning mode trace and it gets you up and running allot faster

just an idea

yours in service

You mean like a prison blueprint. Would be a pretty neat feature.

Ive suggested a similar idea where you could save blueprints, or section of blueprints that could be used across any prison. Similar to the way sub assembles work in Kerbal. Sometimes I have a cellblock layout, or a part of a design that I would like to reuse without having to redraw it.

interesting idea, but why would you want to sell your prison then make the exact same one?

if you wanted to sell it because of a design flaw, that flaw would carry over (no help there).
if you wanted to sell it because it didnt make money (workshops), the exact plans (again) wouldnt really work....

you could just update your existing prison if the issue(s) were minor, but if they were major...why would you want to recreate that??

Well, simply because it'd be in planning mode. Plans are much easier to fix and tweak than fully built prisons are.

the original idea came to me after having built a successful prison but it cost to much to fix and was more worthwhile starting from scratch but trying to remember all the dimensions of everything was a nightmare and found myself using a pen and paper

p.s i love the idea of being able to import and place anywhere on your existing map pre-made plans or sections of prisons
