    I bought this game on Steam a long time ago, completed the tutorial and got overwhelmed, so left it. I now feel that I want to play again in 2021, so this is exactly what I needed to learn (properly and all over again) how to begin my small prison. You have a very calm voice which helps immensely too, thank you.

    I’m confused on how to use a canteen for staff only on Xbox one?? It keeps saying “no prisoners are assigned to this canteen” even though I don’t want prisoners to eat in there just the staff and I’ve tried putting a serving table in the staff room but the kitchen doesn’t put food on it
    If someone can help me it will be much appreciated thanks

    • @BugPowderDust
      @BugPowderDust  4 роки тому

      Do your staff need a canteen? You may be playing on the setting wher the only needs your staff have are to use the staff room for tiredness.
      You can use logistics to assign prisoners to the canteen- providing they can legitimately route there.

      I did enjoy these 3 episodes and it was quite usefull. Thanks a lot for that. And after that I saw all those videos on Rimworld on your channel. I might be interested in this game and wanted to know your opinion on the current state of the game. i see it's been put on sleep mode for 6 months .. it doesn't look good for the future or what ?

      +HanzsKlopek I would highly recommend Rimworld. Even though it's in Alpha, it's a feature rich alpha. The last couple really brought the game along, with the addition of animals that you can tame (and order to attack, haul or protect). Tynan, the developer, has taken a well earned break, but I don't feel it's been abandoned. Even if the game was released as it is, it's still in great shape. Well worth $30, you'll get tens of hours of gameplay out of it
