It stops people getting grumpy in the morning, by waking them up in the middle of the night they can fix their shower or poo poo needs if they have the appropriate stuff in their cells, before it gets too bad in the morning.

The "midnight poo poo" manoeuvre. It's a bit cheeky really, and I kinda wish there was some sort of "spooling up" aspect to sleep where the first 2 or 3 hours of a stretch of sleep count for nothing and only then does the sleep need go down - so that disturbed sleep factors in and makes things worse. Mostly to make the night-time shakedown move more of a gamble.

Or that prisoners would wake up naturally at 3am and poo poo, so that they don't wake up at 8am and then spend 20 minutes screaming about it first.

On the other hand, having your dudes freak out about nothing is a good callback to Dwarf Fortress.

Sleeping seems to be independent of the actual regime. If you schedule eating or free time in the middle of the night most prisoners will ignore it and stay asleep.

Contrariwise prisoners will not sleep during the day, so you can't make half the prison nocturnal to avoid shankings. A!Though now I want to schedule a block of yard time in the middle of the night.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:The "midnight poo poo" manoeuvre. Dumb newbie question. What's the practical difference between adding an hour of lockdown in the middle of the sleep, from adding an hour of lockdown at the END of sleep so they just take their shower and poo poo first thing in the morning? Is it basically to negate them being pissy about an hour of lockup first thing in the morning? (Would it be that bad to just do lockup in the morning anyways?)

Being in lockdown will poo poo them off, doing it in the middle of the night before their needs get too serious also means they're less likely to kick off.

Goon Prison, Day 42, at last. I started Day 41 20 hours ago. I've rendered the video five times, an hour each time as it baffled me by cutting off the first few minutes. Then I had to upload over 2.6GB on Aussie internet. It just finished now. And now I've realised I forgot to fix my commentary audio track. Hooray, mumbles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvnZzL7WAjY So basically I've left the next architect with a waterfront workshop that needs a door and an experimental nocturnal population I did say 20 hours ago, yes? And three Trumps and a lot of gentlemen with an unfortunate last name. 'Tis a little more prepped for staff needs, I like to think. And Mark Morris came back, and of his own accord this time.

All me.  I started with 250. 250 came from a bank loan, and about 300k from selling shares. The other 250 I made honestly.

Stream screenshots used to annoy me but then I found the local folder where they're all saved and it's all so much easier to process them. Anyway I just (finally!) got done watching the latest update and will update the OP soon too (it's been a busy week)

James Eaton's file only lists a mother... though even that might be a bit optimistic. No human can spawn a being of such power. A mother, but no father? Obviously he's the antichrist.

The name is Morgan. I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even five hundred would be pretty nice.  As it turned out, I would live for only 11 more hours after after being committed to this hellhole for "pyromania". Mania. Ha! What is so manic about an enthusiasm for energy, the currency of our future? And it seemed I wasn't alone, for this place was full of energy, if untapped. I spent the early hours, while confined to my box, lecturing my fellow inmates on the virtues of individuality with a series of pithy quotes. Lovegrove was one of the most receptive, although I could only reach him through my window into the next block. But before long, I had many converts, and the commotion only increased as the sky turned light and heralded a new day on this most unsuspecting prison. When the morning tannoy sounded for the collective shower - a concept worthy of only my greatest disgust - I sought the source of the noise out immediately to witness for myself the seed that I had planted, this act of resistance.  Lovegrove, of course. As Lovegrove showed me in fascinating detail the move he made on the toilet to spring a leak, a guard rushed in and tried to neuter his fellow saboteur. But this was a futile move. This small resistance, this reprisal against the oppressive state, had offered a glimmer of hope to all around, as I had to Lovegrove, and inspired something much greater.   The denizens of my own block had wrested control of their destinies from those who would dream themselves our masters, using their own weapons against them.  The collective shower had rightly become a focal point of the resistance.  As doctors went about healing the injured guards, not realising that the wounds to this regime were mortal, I found it trivial to slip in to the psychologist's office unnoticed and steal my prize.  The target was in sight! He who controls the sources of energy controls the means of survival. This prison would control the source no longer. But the corridor swarmed with agents of the state. I would need a smarter approach.  The room behind the generator was empty. A perfect opportunity. I set the tables ablaze, soaking them first with a bottle of rum someone had kindly left behind, as if inviting me to the task at hand.  Foiled! A pack of dogs, bereft of morals, had burst through the door to silence me. But it was too late.  As I jumped and dodged the ravenous animals, the fire did its duty.  The hounds mauled me as the fire had mauled their precious prison. I laughed, for though the sprinklers had put out the fire and I was bleeding heavily, the lights has gone out. For he who controls the so... sourc... he who  When I came around, I stumbled out into the light, unsure if I was awake or dreaming. A line of hearses clogged the road. At its tail, a fire truck jogged my memory. I fumbled around in my pocket. My lighter. I still had it. And the firefighters were held at bay! This was my chance! The generator had been my holy grail, but there was more to burn. Resources exist to be consumed.  The lights were back on. How could this be? There must be another generator. I ran through the prison, shoving some uppity guy calling himself Creaser out of the way, and happened upon a sight most wretched -  - some sort of collectivist, forced labour camp! Brandishing my lighter I began freeing these souls immediately.  A solitary dog showed up and limped after me. The regime was breaking. But I would never see the fruits of my labour.  Some ungrateful, or perhaps brainwashed, inmate called Martin shanked me with a screwdriver, and then stabbed my unconcious body to death. As life faded from my body, I saw beyond the door at the back of that horrific place, a brighter future lying within reach of all of us. I had lived but 11 hours, but my legacy would live for a thousand. I could settle for that.

I read in the update logs that damage to the prison gets repaired when you are caught. If you want to really torch the place you have to get tough enough and recruit followers to stave off the guards. On one hand there's an absurd number of guards; on the other the save as it stands now will create near-endless riots.

Starting my turn shortly I haven't forgotten. [edit] Oh man, an epidemic! I've never dealt with one of those (not to mention this prison is about 4 times the size of the largest I've built and much MUCH more byzantine). And now blood is spilling as much as vomit. Technical difficulties! Please Stand by!
