Forestry

[ElleLitwick]

So in the bureacracy tab there's prison labour, then under that there's forestry labour. How on Earth does the Forestry labour work? I have it researched, inside the prison like it says, but I can't assign anything. I went through and made sure it wasn't a mod, I haven't ever used any in this game. But it's there, and I can't find it on their wiki, so help!!???

I think its a bug because i was able to do it not to long ago, then all of a sudden i couldn't assign the prisoners to work in forestry. hopefully fixed soon

This could well be mods with an incompatible room definition. Leave a note at the authors mod page if you encounter issues, after you got sure you were able to reproduce it by enabling / disabling such mods.

Definitely ain't mods, I don't have any installed for this game. I mentioned it cause that's something I read on the wiki or forums.

The forestry is a room its not outside of prison trees.
Select it from the rooms and place it then plant trees.
Workers will harvest the trees for workshop capentary special furniture also export makes money.
I just started this particular game so I didnt have the forest built yet here's an example the room is 2nd line in 3rd up from the bottom. Have it watched by guards as prisoners love to hide stuff there

I know what you mean with not trusting inmates with forestry tools!

There has been so many police offers chopped to bits with axes because of this. Amusing to watch, but it makes my staff complain and want raises with all the deaths!

They get tools from the workshops too. I have the prisoners wandering the area assigned to forestry just they won't work. Regardless all requirements being met.

Yeah, I've got all the conditions met for it, though it's not allowing me to assign. I actually have the armored guards patrolling it and am taking the hit for armored guards near minimum and medium security prisoners.

I'm having the exact same problem. Idk why it won't work.

For me it seems only to work when there is wall or fence touching all of the sides of the "room"

i need to set up the labor spots there every time i load the save

I'm also having this issue and had a feeling it might be because the fence is 'too far away'.. just looks so ugly like that :/ might have to have a specific prisoner forestry to play with

yes but my prisoners pass through no less than 2 metal detectors before exiting the workshop areas. my workshops are extremely effecient due to a mod author making me a mod years ago
