Yes, it works. In the logistics you can see how many foods are needed for each of the canteens. The cooks will deliver them there. You can expand it past 2 as well, 3, 4, 5 canteens works easily, set one up for Protective Custody, one for Supermax, no problem.

Epic TY! I made a huge prison this weekend but everyone gets into a shankfest once its food time. I even set different times for different lvl's of security ppls and yet they see eachother in the yard and go shank happy so i gotta re-design to keep them in one building as much as possible.

You can set multiple connection for canteen and kitchen. You could even mix it up. You could set 2 kitchen to 2 canteens.

I can assign canteens to send food to specific kitchens??!!! that would be awesome!!! I started building the biggest prison the game could handle without crashing last night in sandbox mode. I left the game on set intake to 0 and went to sleep. hopefully it will be done when i get home from work.

Over vueing building jobs causes massive lag/memory leeks. You are always better off building in stages.. good luck. Love to see you prison when you are done. I also enjoy building massive complex system. I currenty plan for around 1000 prisoner (multisec) love to compare notes ;-)

Other way 'round. You assign kitchens to send food to specific canteens. In your Food Logistics. Everything is about the canteen, you assign cell blocks to use it, and kitchens to supply it. Any combo you want.

Just be sure to save and restart the game. I usually restart my whole comp.

I did notice if i save and re-load they move alot faster!! but when this game first came out and you were in the middle of building something and you saved and went back the building would never get completed and you had to start all over!! gotta get over that fear lmao

Yep. It's very obnoxious. I hope it gets fixed in the next patch. It really needs to be a prioriy as this is an accual game breaking bug.

Search the forum, there's a thread on how to edit the savegame to end bugged events.
