No Queue in Psychiatric Consultation

[Lizzi1304]

I have 100 criminally insane inmates and 4 psychiatrists. Each with their own office. I have planned the consultation during programs/free time. But nobody goes. It just says 0 in queue. I have upped my orderlys and playd for a few days. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

I have had this issue both times I tried using a psych ward. I also tried looking up answers but couldn't find anything. Very annoying because the consultations are basically a huge part of the content in the Psych ward DLC. Very annoying and disappointing.

They are only queued if their insanity meter fills up. That means if their needs are satisfied or they have freetime all the time they will not even need to go there.

Fix that worked for me: add lockup to regime, its a prison after all.

Yes youre right, I figured it out. I had to take away a bunch of their stuff and give them bad meals and annoy them and they become agitated and THEN they can go to the shrink.

Yeah you have to have a badly run prison to need them classes. A safe prison and your criminally insane will never ever need a psychiatrist.

I thought it was a bug but it could be intended. Very odd to gatekeep it behind having a bad prison though lol.

Edit: Just to add it has been this way ever since the DLC was released. Same as criminally insane never attending parole no matter what has always been a thing. Personally I think something odd goes on with Criminally insane prisoners and the classes they can attend that needs looking into, but seeing as they haven't been touched in a long while, who knows what is intentional or not.

If you want to know what is truly odd Criminally Insane inmates will never attack orderlies meaning a single orderly can theoretically stop every rioting CI inmate.
