update 9.3.6 notes

[LebGOD]

dirt is way better , can still be improved
performance is way better , can still be improved
speed button bug is still there (out of nowhere they become un-clickable)
staff standing doing nothing bug happening but way less frequently than before
cleaning should be more automated (we shouldn't have that much items not cleaned in a room and requiring us to manually request a clean)
automation should now be implemented (automatically clean in a smarter way , automatically assign prisoners to rehabs and cells , resolve conflicts , move prisoners to infirmary ... )
the behavior of staff should be improved (radius , carrying out jobs on their own ...)
extremely happy about the cloning of rooms but needs to be improved (cloning a whole building should be possible , should be able to bulk copy based on selection )

i'm satisfied with this update to be honest ... waiting for more to come ! :)

[LadyK]

I agree with most all of that!
-I don't mind putting prisoners in therapy because then I have a (rough) estimate of how many are in what rooms, same with adding fighting prisoners to isolation, tho I'd rather right-click (or something) to send them instead of dragging.
-The staff IS a bit better but they still stand still and crowd to the right corner of my prison. I deleted all rooms back there and the yard which helped but they still do it, tho not as much like you mentioned. (Save, close game, re-open is all that works to fix so far).
-I have the un-clickable bug as well, save and close is all I can do.
-The cleaning is driving me up the wall. Staff should clean the rooms they're assigned to each day they come in, having a zone like the guards. I'm clicking on "clean" more than I'm playing the game.
-There should be at least two therapist per room like the medical staff. (why does one of the therapy rooms only have one rehab item?).
-The "fighting" prisoners should not instantly fight when let out of isolation and their "fist" symbol is completely empty... rude...
-Hotkeys would be nice..."C" for clean... Lot's of clicking in this game, BUT I LOVE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING!

also game is still freezing at close , we have to kill the process to close the game

Hello Victor

i'm not really sure how to reproduce this as it occurs randomly
the buttons simply won't click anymore and the current speed remains as is ... not really much to show lol

a reload of the game makes the speed keys work again

i'm also noticing some lags in the game ... it might be optimization related as well

Thanks for your fast reply LebGOD.

Since we don't have that much info on the specific issue it will get harder to fix, as we don't know exactly where to look, but rest assured we are working on it.

As for the lag in game, could you provide us with your save files and your system specs? It would be of great help in order to pinpoint where the performance issues reside.

Here you have a guide on how to send your saved data: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VTsZHZJDK8BAW8gc7mXjjpkIBiv2EnPY/view?usp=sharing

Looks like LebGOD gave you all the info, as mentioned the “non-click” thing happens randomly, I think when I have a lot of stuff going on like cleaning, sending them to isolation and so on. Also noticed it when the lady pops up to ask if you want to early release, I can’t click on any menus after that!

Also i continue to clean the whole month without stopping. Do i need to make a new game in order to see the cleaning improvements? It's still unplayable like this.

From what I have noticed, you still have to click “clean” all of the time. The improvements the dev’s made was so that the cleaning didn’t get stuck, they cleaned the whole room so you don’t have to click on each item and that SOME workers come in and instantly clean. That’s what I have noticed anyway. I really wish they would fully fix it, prob at launch.

i still have some items which aren't cleaned though ... in some rare cases i still have to manually click and clean them
another issue i'm facing is watering some wall plants ; the gardener is simply not watering them even if i manually order him to water them :/

Honestly, I got to prestige 5 and then deleted anything that wasn't needed. Maybe that's why they clean my whole room. I even deleted the trash cans in each room/hall, they don't "use" them anyway! No outdoor plants, kept one guard tower and workout yard. Had to delete the benches too because the workers sat there all day and didn't work!

gunna do the same to be honest ... bummer
also @Victor mate that frequency of getting stuff dirty should reaallllyy be reduced ... same for the fighting frequency ; i do enjoy the fight but this is too much after a while
all i'm doing currently is forcing staff to clean , moving prisoners into solitaries and moving prisoners to infirmary ...

We'll make a note to check this out then, maybe it's because it scales too fast when the prison population grows, thanks for the info :D
