Showers in cell ?
Does anyone know a way to put shower in cells ? I mean, I did it but obviously you can't mark it as "shower room" because it make the "cell room" fail as the last one isn't surrounded by walls anymore.

I did it in my very first prison and saw some inmates took a shower there but not sure it was a good solution...

Not working :)

Already tried that but the door must be a jail door or the cell isn't considered closed ( I think the prisonner can go to a place which is not his cell aka a room from where he could escape (even if in this case he can't)

It does work. Make sure the block underneath the door is also part of the shower. Steam cloud's offline, can't upload to it, so here: http://i.imgur.com/zSTlsF9.jpg

Just FYi since Mawfeen showed you how to do it: It doesn't matter which kind of door even for the entrance to you cell. You can use use cell doors, remote doors, solitary doors or even staff doors or normal doors. As long as you've got a door the game will see the cell as an enclosed space.

you can have inmates showering in their own cells by just putting a shower head inside the cell and if its lockup time and they need hygiene, they will automatically go to shower, this even works while they're in Solitary, same goes to when they're in Lockdown.

Yeah, you dont need to mark it as shower. Just put one in the cell (dont forget the drains) and they can use it during freetime like this:

My cell is self sufficient as I have placed Tvs, A shower head, bookshelf, and even a bathroom 9x9.

I do exactly this but i only make the shower 1x1 instead.

As said above, you don't need to mark it as a shower, the prisoners will use it when they need to anyway. I usually schedule some yard time after sleep to wake them all up, then put them in lockdown so they use the shower + toilet. If you just put lockdown after sleep, some will sleep through the lockdown time and nott be showered when you make them leave the cells.

You can also put showers and toilets in the yard and canteen, which can help keep your prisoners happier for the reform programs.

And I forgot something, which is, if you have a shower room marked even inside a cell, they won't go there, they will only go during free time but not during lockup and sleep time because those times, they were meant to be inside their cells only and not in other rooms, same goes with if you have a shower room in a canteen during eat time, they won't go there because its eating time and they need to stay within the canteen, same applies with yard & shower time, when its shower time they will only stay in shower room and can't go anywhere else and can only stay in yard if its yard time

I think I beginning to get it. So, do you think this will work : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=356640070

It's my "maximum security" cells, so I try to build it in a way that they don't see each other that much. If I program (as an example) : Lockup - Shower - Eat - Lockup- Yard - Lockup - Shower, they will be able to use this cell to do all this (except eat ofc), right ?
TheAmir259 Dec 15, 2014 @ 10:50am 
Yes it will work!!! Thats exactly what i want you to do! And for eat time, just place afew showers with drains and they will be satisfied, and your prison will be peaceful
