Re: Current Suggestions Compilation List

Postby xenmate » Fri Dec 06, 2013 4:46 pm

Sorry if this has been suggested before but I haven't seen it anywhere...

I bought the game last week and have played for about 30 hours. On my third prison I've pretty much built a foolproof and profitable prison with the only real obstacle to progress being having to wait for money to come in from the workshop, but otherwise everything is working completely fine and I don't even reach one exclamation mark anymore despite not having enough cells for anyone and having 7 hours of work in the regime. I have just bought new land and am about to expand the prison but it struck me as I started doing this that I was actually getting a bit bored and that there was no real challenge any more. I understand some people like to refine their prisons, and strive to build huge constructions, but I'm not really into that kind of dick measuring contest myself ( OK, I am a bit, but not that much)...

Anyways, and this is something that could be tied into the end goal idea, I was thinking it would be interesting to have the prison linked to a major city, and that events happening in the city affect the prison in some way. A strike may cut supplies for a day or two, a power cut could cut all power for X hours, a riot could mean the prison having no choice but to house 100 new prisoners in 2 days... challenges of increasing degrees of difficulty to keep the game interesting and put pressure on you as an architect and prison administrator.

So yeah, that was the thought that I had last night.

I guess, it is stated multiple times, do not suggest new ideas here, this list (and now the list on the wiki is meant to check before you post a new thread with a new suggestion, one thread per suggestion, please do also add the suggestion to the list on the wiki.

To clarify, should we be posting our suggestions both in the developer forum (in separate threads!) AND to the wiki?

I suspect that Meeeps would prefer that you do both. Personally, I don't really see the point of posting suggestions to the wiki.

In terms of having an impact on the development of the game, I know that the developers read the forum, but I do not know whether or not they read the wiki, or any particular page on the wiki (say, the suggestions page). From that point of view, if all you want to do is give your idea to Chris, then the forum is the only place where you can be sure that it will be read. In terms of community feedback, the wiki is similarly useless. On the forum, you can discuss your idea with other forum members, get feedback, and perhaps improve the idea. Forums are made for discussion, whereas wikis are not. So if you are interested in discussion, the forum is the right place to post.

As I see it, the main advantage of the wiki article is that can, in principle, present a complete list of the suggestions that have been made. This is a helpful reference. However, I am not sure that it will get to any of the audiences that need it. Newbies are unlikely to go out of their way to read the wiki article (they often can't even be bothered to search the forums), and veteran forumites almost certainly have a kinds of mental list of the things that have been previously suggested, and can quickly recognize new ideas based upon their experience.

In summary, post suggestions to the forum, one idea per thread, and please search first. If you also feel like editing the wiki, you can help to keep the suggestions list up to date, but the ultimate value of that action is probably fairly small.

Thanks! I think I'll stick to the forums as I tend to agree with what you're saying.

The wiki list was simply meant to replace this compilation list and of course should not replace posting suggestion here. Wiki because it would allow multiple authors to contribute. The idea behind the compilation list was to help devs to find ideas easier and to help users to find existing suggestions. (with link to the forum)

Edit: the success of every thread in this forum or on bugtracker is fairly small since the game got so successful, someone can just wish you luck that the devs will find your post and like it. :-)

Open    not released    Prisoners with special attributes. The Boxer - fighting, The Dictator - charismatic, The Magician - escaping.    Forum Post

Open    not released    Female prisoners. Be they in separate wings, separate prisons or mixed.    Forum Post
Open    not released    Some form of ranking. Better behaved prisoners have a better ranking and get given preferential treatment (nicer cells, more bacon etc.)    ~

Open    not released    Potential for food poisoning.    Forum Post

Status    Suggestion    Notes
Open    not released    Change timers on staff members. Janitors should be quicker to hire than Doctors.    ~

Open    not released    Special cells for unique prisoners. I.e. Hannibal Lecter.    ~

I think it would be awesome if we could allocate our workmen to certain jobs. This would limit the chances of a job getting left half done.

And set wages for staff to determine how well they'll work (i.e. if you don't pay guards much they start taking bribes from prisoners to keep their contraband when searched, workmen take longer breaks, janitors trade contraband (they don't set off the metal detectors) etc, etc

Please keep updating this...

And someone please Sticky this, it's an amazing thing to look at to see if your idea has already been requested or not.

PS: Add "Multi-Prisoner Cells" in there, if you could?

I would suggest what I keep suggesting: each thread should have a descriptive title, address one issue, and people should read the list of topic titles and/or search the forum to see what is going on. Tags like [suggestion] or [bug report] in the topic title would help. If you really want a complete list of all of the suggestions offered thus far in one big list, help keep the wiki up-to-date.

Make edge scrolling optional/adjustable sensitivity, I know it's was a heavily requested thing but it's been little more than a distraction for me as I've never been much for that sort of navigation as well as not being able to leave a window without it scrolling when it's not even focused.

Hi prison architects,

I really enjoy this Game so far and it is still an Alpha, so here my ideas to Improve this Game.

For me, i Miss the immersion. I have no relationship to my Guards or prisoners. So it is Not a Feeling like in xcom if u Loose One of your Guards. I just hire the next One and go on. It would be different if i could Choose the Guards i will recruit for my prison. Guards with Identity would be Great. Traits and Hidden Traits which can be revealed by a well Trained Security Chief. Training and the Time of Duty will increase Traits or properties of the Guards. Hidden Traits Mighty be Lazy, Workaholic, Corrupt, six senth, and so on. The Same for prisoners.
Traits and Hidden Traits will Affect the behavior of the Person. Fat Guys are slower, Need more Rest, but maybe cheap. Really Good Guards cost more money Daily and to hire them. So get cheap ones and send them to Training. This Feature "Traits" could lead into a Lot of nice game Improvements.

Often Mentioned: better patrol Options. I would like something similar to the Existing daily schedule of the prisoners. So while eating i just put a Stationed guard in the schedule at the Same Time and Choose the Amount of Guards. While prisoners are sleeping, i just put patrol in my schedule and Thats it. Simple but Powerful on my Optinion. And Easy to implement. :-)

Right Click on the Todo Jobs will Cancel this Job.

Different patrol Routes. ( maybe 5 different colors to assign Guards just on a Special Route.

So Thats it for the beginning. Its Tiring to Type with a Tablet.

Have Fun and enjoy this Game.
