Dormitory won't work

[ManAgainstTime]

So I'm in the campaign and it says make prisoner capacity 80 so I went the easy way and stuffed bunk beds into a dormitory, I might be able to get more right now but that's not the problem.

It is completely surrounded by walls and doors but it says that bit's failed. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/355241278440472577/578830689970159627/ughh_prison_architect.png

I can't find anywhere that isn't enclosed.

Is the square under the door marked as dormitory?

Make sure it's all marked as dormitory. If you miss even one square, it won't count, and if the doors are marked as dormitory, it won't count

the door behavior is normal if there's no prisoners. the problem tiles are probably the upper row, below the beds, they look iffy on the screenshot. make sure all tiles inside the room are zoned

if you hover on the room type of the room menu long enough, the screen will dim except all tiles zoned as that room. this may help

if you observed the screenshot you would know they aren't

I looked at the screenshot, and they don't appear to be, but I've had that happen before, especially if the door is at the top of the room

I think the missing tiles are under the bunk beds, and they will be revealed by hovering over the room menu

It was in the campaign so maybe that was a problem but I had to go to school so instead of waiting for replies I just built some cells. Thanks anyway, I'll test this on my regular prison to see if it's still a problem but if not thanks anyway.

Actually does anyone know why the door won't shut unless it's locked? It was the same with the shower. There was obviously nothing in the way because it can close, it just won't.

A close look shows that in the bottom row, the five-and-a-half westernmost beds are not part of the dormitory.

Just mark them as dormitory it should be fine.

because there's no prisoners that are suposed to have "lockup" or "sleep" in that cell.

the regular cells stay open if unoccupied too, this allows the janitorial staff to access them freely as needed.

but about your dorm, there are clearly unzoned tiles in the room that prevent it to be "enclosed" the room needs to reach all the walls to be enclosed.

Yeah, like I said I ended up just building cells because I didn't see the time when I made this and ended up not having time to wait for replies.

the community usually delivers an usable answer within one full day. still, have fun with the campaign :D I'm pretty sure the story did want you to build personal cells anyways

[ManAgainstTime]

Yeah, I had school though so didn't have time to wait and can't be bothered to do the last mission right now so I'm just messing around with unlimited money and cheats.
