When you hold your mouse over a type of room, it darkens everything that isn't that type and brightens everything that is that type, so you can find them easier in bigger prisons. That's what is happening, Quill.
+Quill18, great video, really enjoying it! Two quick comments. - The rooms window is dimming all the rooms that aren't of the type you've moused over and highlighting the rooms you are mousing over, to make it easier to find those rooms in your prison. It's a new UI feature. I do like how the programmer in you went to "it must be a recalculation" :) - The showers are better built in the dorm itself, because it impacts the grading of the dorm.
they added a feature where if you hover over a room type that you already have placed it will dim the prison and highlight just that type of room so you can find them easier in a large prison. It is mostly useful when playing/looking at someone else prison.
You're not getting blackouts from the power it's just that when you hover over a room in the rooms tab then it shows you where those rooms are in your prison :D
I am really enjoying this LP, looking forward to trying 2.0 myself when I've got some more time. No offence, Quill, but you are spending way too much on pipes and electricity. Small pipes can reach a lot farther than you think (and are both cheaper and offers a smaller digging bonus than the larger), and electrical cables doesn't have to be right next to the lights. Most of the time, unless you've got a really big room, a cable in the hallway is okay, since the smaller cables (which are placed automatically) goes under doors. Furthermore, I would focus more on security. There are literally only one jail-door that are separating the prisoners from their freedom, and they don't have to tunnel very far to get out of your enclosed compounds :)
If you extent the walls of the canteen / storage to make them in line with the entrance walls you'll end up with a bit more of walking space for the benches in the canteen and our OCD isn't going to drive us crazy anymore.
Quill, you can put shower heads in cells. They use them in place of shower rooms and you don't have to set it to a shower tile. They help with people getting ansy about their hygeine bc they can take showers during lockdown and or free time
I'm sure you know this already, Quill and I apologize for saying it if you did, Dorms are a very risk verses reward. They double capacity but if one prisoner attempts to tunnel out, all the prisoners in said dorm attempt to as well.
This early on is alright, constant shakedown and Quill having his toilet at the opposite side of the outer wall helps quite a bit since tunneling does take a lot of time even with multiple prisoners.
if you open the data file in a notepad document it'll still play regularly but then you may be able to mess with the names bc in doom 3 you can do the same thing to modify the amount of players per lobby and thats how we had 32 people in my CTA (computer tech academy) in one lobby vs the 4 it lets you so maybe it'll help you thought I might pass the knowledge
Would it not be better to do something like Fill to capacity? It would make the intake happen at a more reasonable pace and refills your cells should someone get out on parole or completing their sentence.
Depends. But if you're the type that likes to build cell blocks in bulk, that can create a bit of a problem like having sent 20+ prisoners at the same time. Trickling in prisoners is a good strategy given you can control them easier and making adjustments to their needs easier. Edit: Oh and depending on the size of your holding cell, you can actually keep more prisoners without their own cells.
The one in the dormitory is done correctly. I believe the front is just one black square and the back is a black square with a smaller grey one inside it :p
You say that you want to create a high security prison but this common room design is the opposite of high security. Both realistically and in game for the contraband accessible via visitors.
No no no. There is no way the max-sec prisoners would be able to sneak anything away from the extremely secure medical ward or psychiatric office. Just way to good security setup. (Warning: the previous statement was sarcasm.)
"It's difficult to change the name of the prisoner because someone paid to have their name in the game". So, someone paid to influence what goes on in my game on my computer? Someone paid money so they could REDUCE the amount of customization available in my game? Now, that's a bullshit game mechanic if I ever saw one.
It is just the prisoner's names lmao. And you can change it, he just can't do what he did where it automatically changed the names. I think it is a cool little thing for people who believed in the game and wanted to help out.
Well honestly, I don't give a shit about the names of my prisoners. But I hate the prospect of MY game being altered because someone paid a little extra. It's a matter of principle.
Well some people like this more and find Rimworld boring, that is not the case for me, but he has a lot of subscribers and he needs to try to keep everyone happy. There has been a few months of Rimworld so now is a great time to change it up and keep it fresh. The choice was not 'awful' for the success of his channel, it was a smart decision.
You think prison architect is boring? Rimworld is a whole other level of boring. It's the exact goddamn thing every time. Yaaay farming. Yaaay mining. Yaaay make turret kill zones.
Fullmetalalchemist I'll try to wait and see a couple more episodes. It's not like I hate the guy for playing a game I don't like. I just find it boring so far. We'll see
Quill you were ok on power. the lights did not go dim. it's just the new feature that dims all rooms except the ones that correspond to the room type you are hovering over. :)
I'm still crying about the non-symmetrical rooms on either side of the yard...
Tristan Adams yessss
Me too
When you hold your mouse over a type of room, it darkens everything that isn't that type and brightens everything that is that type, so you can find them easier in bigger prisons. That's what is happening, Quill.
If you watch their update video about it, you'll see how ridiculous trying to spot them can be.
I find it helps when identifying all the existing rooms of that type, and knowing where the borders of large & odd shaped rooms are.
quill puts visitation next to common room, sooner or late a max level prisoner grabs pool cue and stabs someone.
Nick Nevco Lol
This will be FUN with gangs fighting for territory.
This is going to go bad fast, no heating, over crowding.
So much LuL about to happen.
Heating isnt a problem, as he chose not to incl that in this let's play, but over crowding might be fun to watch ... or gangs in same dorm :D
For me it's look fun that gangs fighting for territory in fucking prison

I just love watching the prison architect series! Please keep up the good work! its so fun to watch :)
"Your name is Kitten? Really? Alright, I don't judge."
That killed me slightly, never change Quill.
Quill, please make a escape-mode of this prison afterwards!
That dormitory is a disaster waiting to happen.
You're not getting blackouts from the power it's just that when you hover over a room in the rooms tab then it shows you where those rooms are in your prison :D
A male prisoner named kitten.... can't IMAGINE what horrors he must have committed xD
Love this. Prison Architect is definitely one of my favourite games.

Is the intent to make a sexy and perfectly efficient prison or one that leads to awesome bloodbath riots?
Well, knowing Quill... Both.
Tilion462 I can live with that. All we need is the third chapter of bringing maximum chaos back under control.
A sexy prison that efficiently leads to awesome bloodbath riots!
+Pixel Gemini Nah. Too much like high school.
Nice timing, I've just finished the first episode a few seconds ago =D
quill .. mate.. never let your visitors mingle with the inmates.. as someone who spent time locked up.. let me tell you that is a very bad idea lol
so... you were in jail?
well... we all make mistakes some times.. especially when young and full of alcohol lol
what were you in for?
fighting.... went out drinking with friends and got in to a fight...can`t even remember what it was about now
+khairus thevirus how long in jail?
Electricity doesn't spread outside.
Outside lights (the stickpole ones) don't need electricity.
If you extent the walls of the canteen / storage to make them in line with the entrance walls you'll end up with a bit more of walking space for the benches in the canteen and our OCD isn't going to drive us crazy anymore.
Good to see you playing this!
Quill, you can put shower heads in cells. They use them in place of shower rooms and you don't have to set it to a shower tile. They help with people getting ansy about their hygeine bc they can take showers during lockdown and or free time
@quill18 You can build drains right under the door, no need to put 4 in front of it.
You know, those workers are really amazing, how they build a prison in a single day.
Watch out, one of your MaxSec prisoners is a wizard. One who specializes in burning down buildings.
Lights outside don't need power at all; I guess they have built-in batteries? You do need to connect stuff like cameras directly though.
I'm sure you know this already, Quill and I apologize for saying it if you did, Dorms are a very risk verses reward. They double capacity but if one prisoner attempts to tunnel out, all the prisoners in said dorm attempt to as well.

There is a 3D option. Go to option and at the bottom left corner there is a hidden x bottom, that will turn on the 3D mode.
Kitten the maximum security prison in for a life sentence for starting a cat/kitten terrorist group
wow lol.
I'm not sure Quill has seen enough prison movies. Is this game not made for maximum security design?
I WANT TO SEE MORE PRISON ARCHITECT!!
Can you please try using the 3D mode?
Great vid again quill
if you open the data file in a notepad document it'll still play regularly but then you may be able to mess with the names bc in doom 3 you can do the same thing to modify the amount of players per lobby and thats how we had 32 people in my CTA (computer tech academy) in one lobby vs the 4 it lets you so maybe it'll help you thought I might pass the knowledge
I think selecting multiple research creates a stack rather than a queue.
Would it not be better to do something like Fill to capacity? It would make the intake happen at a more reasonable pace and refills your cells should someone get out on parole or completing their sentence.
Depends. But if you're the type that likes to build cell blocks in bulk, that can create a bit of a problem like having sent 20+ prisoners at the same time. Trickling in prisoners is a good strategy given you can control them easier and making adjustments to their needs easier.
Edit: Oh and depending on the size of your holding cell, you can actually keep more prisoners without their own cells.
I think you keep putting TV's backwards.
The one in the dormitory is done correctly. I believe the front is just one black square and the back is a black square with a smaller grey one inside it :p
also, with 2.0 the green lines in front indicate it
Nope. It's a CRT monitor, so the black part that's thinner is the back.
The blueprint sprite always shows as pointing down until the TV gets placed.
yea urghhh no I mean it would be funny but I don't know muck but it would probably made the prisoners angry but I REALY know nothing
The only place you need metal detectors is right before the dorms.
"Hey let's put the garbage right in the door"
You say that you want to create a high security prison but this common room design is the opposite of high security. Both realistically and in game for the contraband accessible via visitors.
33:25 *prisoner Harry Dresden* as in...the book protagonist? o.O
Quill18 your my Hero!!!
I like asymmetrical buildings. Buildings IRL have plenty of asymmetrical hack-jobs.
ah it gives me envy to play it again ! your prison gives me the cringe for some things and to cure it i need to build a new prison !
18:18 What you are saying, reminds me of a certain person..
What is that noise at 25:12?
You could use gates and perimeter walls
The new gooey?
Is quill putting the tv's backward
yes x.x
?
I can't tell
Nop, the TVs sanding right. The black thingy is the backside with the antenna.^^
Lol, the TV is facing the wall
quill how you disabled the auto lights?
how did u get ur prisoner to eat it wont do that ofr me on the xbox one
Quill, I know im late but currently contraband can be thrown into your yard
Contraband is going to be everywhere...
No no no. There is no way the max-sec prisoners would be able to sneak anything away from the extremely secure medical ward or psychiatric office. Just way to good security setup. (Warning: the previous statement was sarcasm.)
I think the OP is referring to the common room / visitation room setup.
What's changed in v2?
Outside lights dont need power
Of course quill fires the black doctor :p
i saw that too
iv been a high security guard for like 12 years
I subbed oh and I saw the past series but didn't have an account wish I did
I had a prison with 1500 prisoners but never had a super big riot.... :(. Mostly local stuff.
JanPlaysPiano were there gangs
I always use those little spare rooms for cleaning cupboards. Needs noone to watch them, n education needed and you can greatly cut back on janitors
How can I play V2.0 Beta? Do I need a BETA code?
Nope, just go into the game's property on steam (right click the game), go to the Betas tab and select v2preview from the dropdown list!
it is on steam
This makes me want to fire PA back up. Haven't played since Alpha.
he fired the black doctor not the white one
The salary is nothing compared to the hiring, just sayin'
Gui means poop in my country xD
What country?
+AWiseMelon his country
+AWiseMelon HIS COUNTRY IS THAT COUNTRY OK?
+Fused Timeline I never knew a dog could hurt my feelings so much :,(
wow..you talked real fast in the begging....i talk sorta fast to!
*-wow-*
Why no name prisoners :(
quill confirmed racist, fired the black doctor.
For the next play through do Arkham asylum
that would be a turn for him, don't think he play action games.
where my notification squad
I know it's spelt GUI but it's pronounced G-YOU-EYE
Don't forget rimworld
1943rd like. I always wanted to get that one. Id like to thank the 1942 people who liked it in front of me and also myself for being amazing
G-U-I
G.U.I.
omg quill... you just fired black doctor....
"Gooey" It's not pronounced like that!
A GUI is always referred to as 'gooey' for obvious reasons...
:)
"It's difficult to change the name of the prisoner because someone paid to have their name in the game". So, someone paid to influence what goes on in my game on my computer?

When did he say that?
It is just the prisoner's names lmao. And you can change it, he just can't do what he did where it automatically changed the names. I think it is a cool little thing for people who believed in the game and wanted to help out.
Those people funded the game, don't be a twat.
Well honestly, I don't give a shit about the names of my prisoners. But I hate the prospect of MY game being altered because someone paid a little extra. It's a matter of principle.
zorkan111 Your game isn't being altered. The gameplay is EXACTLY the same.
This is boring.. considering you stopped rimworld because of this, what an awful choice to make.
Well some people like this more and find Rimworld boring, that is not the case for me, but he has a lot of subscribers and he needs to try to keep everyone happy. There has been a few months of Rimworld so now is a great time to change it up and keep it fresh. The choice was not 'awful' for the success of his channel, it was a smart decision.
I don't like Rimworld, but I will watch an entire series of Prison Architect
You think prison architect is boring? Rimworld is a whole other level of boring. It's the exact goddamn thing every time. Yaaay farming. Yaaay mining. Yaaay make turret kill zones.
You're boring.
Fullmetalalchemist I'll try to wait and see a couple more episodes. It's not like I hate the guy for playing a game I don't like. I just find it boring so far. We'll see
