Concentration Camp Mod

[Aurumlamina]

Has anyone done this yet? It seems like it would be easy enough and a pretty cool mod.

Simply remember you can only change things when modding this game. you can edit the code and the textured but you cannot add anything as of now. So... remember that.

1. No, because there is currently no means to kll your prisoners. They can get killed, or die yes, but you can't kill them. The "Electric Chair" is non-functional and only works in the tutorial.

2. No, because the model wouldn't work with the game mechanics. Concentration Camps were reliant on things the game doesn't have the ability to consider. Many concentration camps worked through internal espionage and self-policing. Certain inmates were selected as snitches on the other inmates. It also mattered that anyone healthy was malnurished before being used for slave labor. This was to render them unable to resist or fight. In spite of that, people still did escape, resist and fight in their own ways.

In Prison Architect, a malnurished, deprived prisoner will make all the prisoners around them riot, and the level of damage they can cause is beyond comprehension. They will entirely destroy your prison. In real life, malnuished, deprived people could be psychologically broken.

So regardless of ethical concerns, for mechanical ones, it wouldn't work. You need depraved prisoners less able to fight back because they aren't strong enough, you need the ability to kill prisoners and you need a way to select prisoners upon arrival for concentration or death.

That's interesting. That does all seem feasible with a few good mods, though. Alter the way certain stats affect them psychologically and add executions into the game (I'm sure this is coming later on anyway, all things considered for a prison sim) and you almost have it right there.

i dont think anyone can mod the mechanics of the game, which would be needed for some sort of concentration camp. the prisoner behaviour would need to be changed. the only way to make it possible would be to stop prisoners from rioting at all (or alter their needs enough so they wont riot), and then just use electic chair for killing inmates.

A concentration camp mod?! What a truly horrible idea.

That's pretty much what I was thinking...
Why would anyone want to build a concentration camp?
Besides, I think the point of this game is to have prisoners living in it for years, not have a constant flow of prisoners then kill them off.

no

just

no

Here come the people trying to hop on the bandwagon whining instead of adding anything useful to the original post about expanding the game with more options. I was suggesting the first of several institutions similar to the vanilla prison in the game that could be created with a mod if we were able to alter a few of the mechanics. A POW camp would be interesting as well.

If the thought of these things are somehow bothersome to you, don't play them. However, they are realistic and considering you cook a prisoner in the tutorial for taking out his wife and her lover I'd say the game is dark enough to start with.

Here comes the standard 'deflection' tactic to divert attention away from the fact that you specifically asked to emulate a concentration camp of all things, followed by an attempt to back pedal and instead make it about a 'historical' thing about POW camps, which also aren't exactly a savoury thing to want to emulate.

Comparing an element of the game that is admittedly dark, is not even remotely comparable to wanting to run your very own concentration camp. Sorry if you don't get that, but that's what I think.

[Aurumlamina]

This is a simulation about people locked up for horrible, heinous crimes that are described on each and every inmate's profile. I don't believe prison (a place where people are locked up to die) are the happiest topics to play in the first place.

As for back pedaling or diverting attention, I'm not sure how you came up with that idea. It seems like you're just trying to grasp at straws for some reason? I still support the Concentration Camp -and- the POW camp. I'm supporting an increase in options and mechanics in the game.

[Articulate Llama]

a concentration camp mod is just bad taste imo.

[will]

oooo thats mean.

[WordAsASchons]

Would definitely play

[Phoenix]

A Mode like this would work very well... but I think only a certain type of person would want to play it.... I for one am NOT that type of person.

Gas chambers, furnaces, shooting ditches,human experimentation, and torture .... no, no, and once again NO!

However if the poster purley meant a WW2 POW camp mode, then a Colditz mode would work.
