Ultimate Regime!

[marigoldMoths]

Does anybody have a regime set up that works flawlessly? cause I haven't been able to make one. I replaced all the sleep with freetime but whenever that ends and the first eating time starts they all get pissed.
So could someone please give me the best regime?

[Nota]

There' s a topic on the dev forums about this.

[lonewolf40000]

Highly suggest hitting the dev forums, as noted.

I think, from memory, my current regime looks something like this"

11PM to 6AM: Sleep
7AM: Shower
8AM to 10AM: Eat
11AM to 12PM: Yard
12PM to 6PM: WOrk
7PM: Free Time
8PM to 10PM: Eat
11PM: Free Time

12am : Sleep
1am : ^
2am : ^
3am : ^
4am : Shower
5am: Freetime
6am : Eat (Medium/Medium)
7am : Freetime
8am : ^
9am : Work
10am : ^
11am : ^
12pm : ^
1pm : ^
2pm : ^
3pm: ^
4pm : ^
5pm : Freetime
6pm : Eat (Medium/Medium)
7pm : Freetime
8pm : ^
9pm : ^
10pm : Sleep
11pm : ^

Not completely flawless. Any signifigant mistep with food or shower/freetime slots come down on you hard. Work ends at 5 with a typical 2 !! danger mark, but is solved quickly by the free time and food.

Freetime after shower so they can poop and get in a quick call/run before breakfast. Free time after to finish up issues before work.

-EDIT- Last I looked I was at 1096 hours no incidents. Its definitely more.

One of the aspects of the game is, to find your own solution! You are taking the fun out of playing, if you ask how to do something. If you are simply copying someones regime and style of building, you will get bored soon.
It took me a few prisons, before I found a good solution for the regime and how to build and place the rooms.
Keep trying and be proud once you have a prison with 100 prisoners that works.

A hint: If they go balistic and riot . . . check out the needs page and check out why they are pissed off.

yeah I got the perfect regime after a few trys :D I only use work, freetime, and eat!

I'm using this regime with a capacity of 94 high risk prisoners:
4am - 7am: FreeTime
8am: Eat
9am - 10am: Work
11am: FreeTime
12-1pm: Work
2pm: Eat
3pm - 4pm: Work
5pm: FreeTime
6pm - 7pm: Work
8pm: FreeTime
9pm: Eat
10pm: Sleep

The early FreeTime allows prisoners who got enough sleep to use the toilet and/or shower before breakfast. Those who still needs sleep the most will continue sleeping.

The work between 9-10 am can be risky depending on how fast your guards escort new intakes from 8 am. Usually the early FreeTime at 11am along with Lunch at 2pm takes care of most problems.

Regular breaks allows prisoners to use the toilet or shower instead of starting fights while working. I noticed that my workshop is making alot more money this way.

3 meals a day isn't needed for most prisoners, but it's there as a precaution in case a few missed a meal during the day.

I also do a shakedown every night around 10-11 pm when everyone is sleeping.

[Proteus]

11 PM - 6 AM Sleep
7 AM Shower
8 AM Free Time
9-10 AM Cell Time
11 AM - 12 PM Eat
1 PM - 4 PM Work
5 PM Yard
6 - 7 PM Free Time
8 - 9 PM Eat
10 PM Cell Time

End timeslot always inclusive (for example 8-9 PM = 8 PM timeslot + 9 PM timeslot)

Usually gives me a good fulfillment of needs

Something I've been working with is 1 hour of Yard time before eating. This way all the prisoners are gathered together before mealtime. The canteen is nearby so travel time is significantly reduced. Also, metal detectors at the Yard entrances allow a search of every prisoner with guards nearby.

Mostly, I'm annoyed by the Yard Guard's lack of productivity so the scheduled Yard time puts those lazy guards to work.

[brandon-]

12am - 6am = Sleep
7am - 10am = Free Time
11am - 12pm = Eat (High/High)
1pm - 9pm = Work
10pm = Eat
11pm = Sleep

I've found that they (or at least my prisoners) don't need a shower or yard schedule in there because they handle it all during free time. Almost all my prisoners are always satisfied (except when they start to get tired or hungrY) but rec/family/hygiene/exercise is never an issue.

edit: that's with a 120ish normal/low prisoners.. too scared to see what max is like

[mikeydsc]

Almost flawless - 9 hours work day (Can get 11 with minor tweaks)
Metal detectors all over - search cell punishment for carrying ANYTHING - almost no tunneling
have enough phones, weights, books etc so most prisoners can get the required action for all the categories in 1 hour freetime used 4 times a day

midnite 6am - sleep
7am - shower
8am - freetime
9am - 1pm work
2pm free time
3pm 8pm work
9pm 10pm eat
11- 12 freetime

I'm still playing around with it, and I also only take Minimum security prisoners, so its far from good as their anger gets high sometimes.

12am Sleep
1am Sleep
2am Sleep
3am Sleep
4am Sleep
5am Sleep
6am Sleep
7am Shower, quickly switched to Free Time. So my prisoners get up at 7 and then do what they want. Seems they want to use the toilets first. If I leave it on free time, they just sleep through it.
8am Free Time
9am Eat
10am Eat
11am Free Time
12am Work
1pm Work
2pm Work
3pm Work
4pm Work
5pm Work
6pm Free Time
7pm Eat
8pm Eat
9pm Free Time
10pm Free Time
11pm Sleep

[ProfessorCookie]

12AM-4AM sleep
5AM shower
6AM-7AM Eat
8AM-10AM Freetime
11AM-3PM Work
4PM-8PM Freetime
9PM-10PM Eat
11PM Freetime

Can change freetime to work if you want. I never have trouble with my prisoners with this set up.

it's not all about the regime - it's more about what they are able to do at the time.

for example, if you place toilets and showers and stuff into the yard, they will also shower at yard time. so there is no extra need for shower time. try to combine things to make them happy, it's very easy.
