For example, initially, my main prison was only min/med sec. Since planning almost never goes 100% as you expect, it's also a great idea to leave room for adjustments. Then figure out efficient placements, room sizes, and connecting everything, plan the entire layout (this took me the longest by far), and finally build and adjust as needed. There's also a ton of great content on YouTube regarding the matter, which really helped me out.įrom my personal experience, I would recommend starting with a big idea and defined aim and refining it until you have every last detail down about what you want to include before you even begin planning in the game. Don't get too hung up on planning as you are still learning because you can always sell your prison and start fresh with your newfound knowledge and experience.

WTF? I'm actually kind of impressed that so much work was done to make the game worse.

Amazingly, this game is actually significantly worse than it was years ago. but can't say for sure those didn't exist before. I've run into a couple minor ones regarding pathing/construction, cleaning, etc. Prisoners waiting in Reception instead of being taken to holding or new cells.waiting so long they starve to deathĪvailable guards not covering assigned areas Holding Room prisoners become locked in place, never being taken to available cells
