Do bins actually do anything? My guards never seem to try to dispose of the contraband they find.

Blackray Jack posted:Is anyone suffering graphical glitches? Cause I sure am! I'm running windows 8 just in the likely case that it's the culprit. Otherwise I'm just having minor graphical glitches like the 'Z's from sleeping prisoners turning into flashy squares, as well as a chunk of my yard being a flashy square. It's mostly minor graphical glitches and whatnot and nothing big. Number of cooks isn't as important as number of cookers, especially if you have prison labour. Expand your kitchen. Having a guard dog patrolling the entrance to your prison will be good for spotting contraband. The default regime is a pretty good start. Slot in a four-hour Work slot in place of some free time once you need work to happen.

super fart shooter posted:The guys in those categories don't work, and other prisoners aren't allowed in their blocks, so it falls to the janitors to take care of their laundry needs, which isn't working so well. More ability to manage your non-guard staff would be great for this game. It's annoying for my janitors to do the prisoners' job for them while the staff room is filthy, the gardeners are weeding the fallow field between my exterior fences, and the chefs are laying out all the food in only one of the cafeterias... That, and a better UI for managing the reform programs.

Box Hill Strangler posted:Im having tunnel trouble. My dogs are dropping flags reasonably regular but not in any specific area. Ive searched cell blocks and even ripped out every toilet and not found anything, so now I have some questions. My prison has three dog patrols and I get a flag come up every couple of days as false positives. First thing to think is: Is this reasonably likely to be the shortest route out of the prison for anyone? If it's near, but not on, a major pipeline it's probably a false positive, same if it's on the other side of the prison from all your cells. If you think you're onto one, have dogs sniff around the area to see if more flags come up. If not, it's false. Tunnels only ever come from toilets and dismantling the toilets will reveal the tunnels.

Jeoh posted:After building my huge prison I forgot to save enough money for guards, and now everyone is rioting constantly. How can I fix this? I just need 1k to get an account so I can get that grant and a bunch of Cell Block grants. Can you sell shares in your prison? From the Valuation tab.

Doctor Schnabel posted:Ok, so I noticed kitchen supplies are a huuuuuuge contraband vector. Is there any way to make my guards auto-search goods coming into my prison? Have a dog patrol through your deliveries and make sure the route from there to your kitchen passes through a metal detector. That'll catch most contraband, at least.

Generation Internet posted:Uuuuuuugh. Did they just let backers insert their own horrible character descriptions with no moderation? It would explain a lot of the lovely ones I've seen in game. They certainly aren't proofread. They might have tossed them through a swear filter. Hopefully they'll get properly addressed at some point. The only prisoner bio I've seen that I really liked was Wild Snorlax (arrested for lotering on Route 12), though they're not all bad.

Grapplejack posted:Do you guys think they'll add gangs? I was thinking about it last night and they'd have to give us the ability to assign prisoners to cells before gangs could be put in, I think. I'm fairly sure gangs are on the agenda. You can already assign prisoners to cells, it's in the tutorial - it's quite micromanagey though, so they might be looking for a more effective way to separate your inmates.

Do prisoners age? Time passes on their release dates but I don't think I've ever seen an age number go up.

John Dough posted:Also, I seem to be doing something wrong with confidential informants. I have recruited at least a dozen of them, and I have a Security Chief with his own office, but activating CIs does nothing, the status button just flashes to Activated before immediately going back to Idle. Coverage never goes up from 0%. What am I doing wrong? Do you have a Security room? They go there, not the Chief's office.

Lack of Gravitas posted:I'm almost sad that the release is on the horizon, since it means there won't be any more dev videos with Chris and Mark... I've spent more time watching them banter than I have playing the game Are the dev videos just for the alpha? They said they'd continue updating the game post-release.

Three-Phase posted:One other thing I did was take the three gang leaders and three of their lieutenants and throw them all into a highly isolated superman area. I think that with the leaders isolated, there is no new recruitment, and with the lieutenants isolated, there aren't any "plays" for territory. I think they need to implement some kind of system where if a gang leader is isolated that way, one of the lieutenants will eventually be promoted to a leader. I think it'd be cool if isolated gang leaders could send orders around through some form of contraband. It might be a bit more than the contraband system is built for, but it'd be atmospheric as hell. Judging by what they said in the demo video, real-life gang leaders are generally in pretty much constant solitary but they sneak messages out to their underlings.

Are you looking while they're actually being interrogated? I thought you only get coverage during the interview.

I fairly regularly get contraband like phones confiscated just from false positives in the metal detectors. Have lots of them around and you basically have a mandatory search regime for your prisoners.

Autism posted:Am I stupid if I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the interface for timed deployments? I can't really tell what the gently caress is going on with regards to the slot selection on the bottom. The wiki's description doesn't help much, either. No, it's a bad interface. You click each time slot to set which deployment pattern is active in that slot (from default 0 to 7). Then you move the bar to a timeslot with that pattern to set up the deployment for that whole pattern. I think the logic is you set up the deployment pattern for a specific time with the little bar, and all other times on the same pattern are changed in the same way. It would make a lot more sense to just set each deployment pattern independently from a specific time.

Zaphod42 posted:Really enjoying this game now that I'm finally getting into it for real, got it back in early access but only dipped my toes in. You could sell your existing prison and start a new one with the proceeds. Although I've never had a problem getting set up fairly quickly as long as I kept doing grants.

Ineptitude posted:I havent played since they added the button to remotely open a door, can you now build multiple canteens and assign cells to a certain one? Yes. You have to unlock Micromanagement to do it, otherwise the game will automatically assign cell blocks to the nearest canteen (and any overflow diverted to the next nearest, etc)

I hope some of those UI concepts make it to the PC game. Not the whole lot, obviously, but there's a lot of good polish there, like tooltips coming from game characters, or the menu organisation, or the title screen, or just the general aesthetic.
