Tool Cleanup

[Sleeper]

I'm trying to get the tool cleanup Grant but I don't know what I have to do to "Remove the supply of stolen tools/weapons"

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks.

Do you have metal detectors at the entrances to areas prisoners can use to get tools and weapons?

[Sleeper]

Yes, though, to be fair, I installed a bunch more since posting the question. I assume I just need to have my guards cathch these guys in time?

Perform a Shakedown, at night while the prisoners are asleep. You'll get all the tools then.

Make sure you finish the shakedowns within the day itself. Depending on how many available guards you have, prisoners and cells, you might want to do the shakedown much earlier so it'll end before midnight.

i've performed so many shakedowns now, during the day, during the night - and still, nothing happens. both parts of the grant are still active. i think it might be a bug... :\
well, it's alpha... :D

[Emmote]

The grant only finishes when every single tool and weapon has been taken from your prisoners. That's it. It's the only requirement.

Shakedowns should find everything and as long as you're not doing it while the prisoners are out and about (so they can possibly steal something that doesn't get found), you should complete it.

If you're really bothered about it, just save edit. Search for "InProgress", find the right grant and change it's status to "Completed". You won't get the cash for completing it, so you might want to edit your balance while you're at it.

ok it was a bug with an easy solution. i just had to exit the game and load one of my savegames. ^^ but thx for the help anyway! :)

Thanks for the help with the shakedown!

I had the same issue. furiousOwl's suggestion of saving and reloading solved the problem.

[Clownpuncher]

None of these "solutions" solve anything. I still can't get that stupid grant to complete and I have metal detectors at all cell block entrances, not that it matters, since I've had my prisoners on bangup for five days now, so they can't get out of their cells. I have also completed eight shakedowns, including three in the same day. Still nothing. I tried quitting and reloading a save and that didn't work either.

Saving and reloading fixed this for me...

It's amazing that this was reported over 4 years ago, and this is still a bug, and save+reload is still the fix. Thanks folks.
