Alpha 36 - Nearly all prisoners Sick, noone does s@!t.

[DonMartiini]

I got the random Virus event for 4 inmates, I tried to send them to permanent solitary to isolate them, however I missed one. So a few seconds later it wasnt 4, it was 10, then 15, then 10. So I reloaded an autosave and the Todo notification for the outbreak was gone. I STILL had sick prisoners, but now I had no idea of knowing how many. Everywhere I look there are green sick prisoners. I dont have the capability to isolate EVERY SINGLE ONE of my prisoners. They dont go to infirmary and they simply start dying.
I had a well oiled system, no incidents. Gangs and their leaders could not do s**t. But this sure as hell f-d things up for me. Virus is overpowered.
thanks introversion.

Doctor simply ignore them, even when they fall unconscious.

I used fire to "purificate" the infected area

At this point I might as well rename the prison Racoon City and call in the national guard.

Upload your game please bloke, I'd like to have a crack at solving that!

Go nuts

[Dodsmania]

Thats what cheating does, trying to rollback saves, eesshh.lol

As if continuing on would hava had a difference.

I got my minsec prisoners infected...and then after a while my maxsec ones caught it. How? There's no contact between the 2...
Also, there's a few sick in the infirmary, and the doctors do nothing. It seems the doctors don't do anything until the sick meter is at 4 or higher. I have prisoners on 3 and they're ignored...but when it hits 4, the doctors rush to do something. (Well, I say 'rush...)

Edit : Got over 700 infected...as they all went to lunch. Now it's down to around 300, and nearly morning. Seems this thing's gonna keep going, unless I lock all my prisoners up...for a while. They should've made it so the contagious nature of the virus was less, but the virus itself had a different effect (other than just graphical...and vomiting.) Maybe make the prisoners annoyed, or kick off...

I am having the same issue, would you mind giving my savefile a look?

[amelie]

Just remove all sick prisoners. I used this python script for that:

#!/usr/bin/python

#Open the save file and the copy file (any file with the Newprison.prison name will be erased)
f = open('autosave.prison')
f1 = open('NewAutosave.prison', 'w')
#read the file and store its line by line as a list
lines = f.readlines()
#as long as the list still contain 3 lines
while lines :
  if ('virusdeadly' in lines[0]):
    lines.pop(0)
  else:
    f1.write(lines.pop(0))

#close both files
f1.close()
f.close()

It's a variation of the code I've made to remove all prisoners:

I removed all the sick with a Notepad++ replace tool. find \r\n.virusdeadly* and replace with a blank space. Did the trick for me

[Capt.Jamesbloke]

SOLVED!!!!! I just downloaded your game and it wasn't that hard to see that you had the infirmary zoned as Staff Only. Change it to shared and you will find the doctors will start reteiving patients.

[Dodsmania]

Lol, user error again

[DonMartiini]

I tried that later, a few sick just walked in but doctors did nothing. Even when they fell unconscious. Infirmary was staff only to keep the contraband from getting out.

I would agree sickness seems to spread far too quickly, I got that event and the shipment of prisoners from a nearby facility at the same time - day 10 (unfair) so all my gaurds were occupied with intake. I can't even reload because I've essecentially had event times running since day 1 (work benches, then sleep, then the low quality meal one) I am thinking the system is currently too buggy to playwith events.
