Laundry Help **SOLVED**
Ok so I have two laundry rooms, but they keep getting flooded with laundry, and the stacks just sit there and don't go anywhere. Am I just being stupid? Or is there something I'm not doing? If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.😊

Heres a screenshot: http://prntscr.com/nv7aql

Any mods? That might be the cause.

Other than that, it may just be too big. You only need a small laundry, even for several hundred prisoners. Are any clean clothes going out?

Had the same problem. Not sure what it is? Try adding more laundry carts. Or dumping some of the clothes. I noticed if the carts are full nothing get washed. It's like the serving table in the canteen. Have to have enough to feed everybody. I think a cart holds up to 10 clothes. So is you have 100 inmates you'll need at least 10 carts.

I do have mods but none of them seem to affect laundry in any way. There is only like two stacks of clothing going out every couple of days too.

I will definitely try this, thanks for the help! I'll respond if this works or not! 😊 Update: More laundry baskets don't seem to do it. But thanks anyways :)

Thank you for replying. I have same problem in a laundry area staff only , connected to the receiving area. Clothes don't get moved from the receiving area unless I dumb some of them. That's why I thought it was the carts. I also noticed when I had the guards search the area it would clear the clothes out too. Not sure what it is? Dumping them helps
