Help. Doors won't close

[ZleepyBeazzt]

So I've tried googling, and everywhere it says "unless there's prisoners" I can't even force it to close, and it says failed, as the room is not closed?? Some of the other cells all the requirements is failed. Even tho I have done it. Please help.

If there are no prisoners, all doors are open by default to allow building and cleaning staff access as you're bui8lding/expanding your prison. [this is normal and expected]

Force closing a Cell makes the game treat the door as a wall, and then there is no access to the interior of the cell, thus it's bad.

You need to only mark the floor tiles and NOT the tile the door is on as Cell, for it to be properly Enclosed.

When prison is in operation (there are some prisoners) Cell doors remain open for UNOCCUPIED Cells (so that the janitors can clean easily without guard having to manualy let them in) [this is also normal and expected]

Other doors should be closed when prison is in operation and has prisoners.

If you have trouble, post some screenshots to show what's wrong. Never hurts.

If one of the requirements for the room you are creating says it must be "enclosed," this does not mean the door leading into this room must be closed or locked.

If does need a door, but it does not need to be closed. As explained above, re-look at the room you drew (filled-in) and make sure every square of interior is coded with the room type you are drawing, and do not fill-in the square underneath the door.

The image in this tweet may help as it sounds like you have a doorway zoned as the room. https://twitter.com/PrisonArchitect/status/1613883687707283460?s=20&t=SA1fcB9YAjMiMzLydaM7-A

The prisoners wouldn't get there as it failed the requirements "enclosed"

I had not marked the door as a part of cell

I deleted one cell, did it over. And suddenly the game realised things were fine???

"If there are prisoners" refers to the state of the entire prison, not a single cell.
