Workaholics inmates

[Drclone]

My working inmates keep working. It doesn't matter what timescheme it is. They're keep working. Even when they need to sleep..

They're getting exhausted, but they're so stubbornly damn.
I also can't do an execution because everybody need to be in their cells, but they won't go.

How can I fix this?

cut the power to the workshop, probably with a switch, better with a timer so it all goes automatic

Doesn't work. They keep working.

i find the persons that keep working and put them on lockdown then immediatly cancel the punishment and they go do whatever is scheduled and stop working. to find them i bring up the button you use to assign the workers, the ones still working shows an orange bubble for the work slot.

[Drclone]

Yes that does work, but i've to do this every time now. Each time they're "done" with treir work.

[cheetome]

i know but its the only thing i know to do to make them quit working

[Drclone]

Uhh but that's almost impossible. Do you know what caused the bug? I've never had this before..

What's all the fuzz about people wanting to work? Usually everybody is complaining that prisoners DON'T work due to their suppression... I'd say make good abuse of their willingness, and adjust your prison schedule to let them make tons of money for exports. Use a regime with a lot of work and no sleep hours, and you'll see your income booming.

Prisoners who want to work after 8pm will still have a chance to do so, while the rest of your prisoners will go to sleep anyway - Sleep regime is not needed for that. Prisoners who stay up during the night to work, usually will go to bed at 6am and sleep for an hour, then be fit to go to the yard and eat something. If they need to sleep during the day, they can do so due to Work/FreeTime schedule.

I'm currently solving it by removing the jobs from the room then adding them back, the workaholic stops working then. But I guess it will only continue to happen - do you have the additional reputation mutator turned on? I initially did also, but turned it off due to getting criminally insane reps without being able to give them adequate cells. I assume the workaholics came from this mutator too.

That's not a bug, it's an incredibly irritating feature. Workaholic behaviors are most easily offset by, as someone mentioned, enforcing short lockdown or solitary punishments to make them get some sleep and food. Depending on your play style, you may also get some good out of placing toilets in the work space (Especially useful in libraries, laundries, and shops) and other items that allow prisoners to fulfill needs.
I did have one prison where I made all of the Workaholics Supermax, a group I physically isolate using the same tactics as Protected prisoners. Workaholics stop working when they can no longer access any work tasks, so they would clean their wing of the prison and then stop once they finished all of the tasks in their zone. That may be a little much for normal play, and does involve some specialized construction, but should reduce or eliminate the issue.
