Yard Requirements (secure behind atleast one door) ?

[WhiteSosa]

I dont understand this, what do i have to do to get the yard to work properly

You have to fully enclose the area around the yard, in general. Whether this means putting a fence around your entire prison, or just fencing off the yard, is entirely up to you.

I personally get into the habit of creating a large fenced off area around hte prison itself before building in.

I've also gone ahead and tried building the buildings I plan on using, laying fencing in between them to create a secure 'inner area'.

Basically, build out a rectangle, and anything inside of it should qualify for a 'yard'.

I always put a wire fence around it with a large cell door, but I'm guessing that if you have a fence around the whole prison and a door someplace any warning excalmation mark will go away. If you get a tick for the yard in the basic holding cell prison grant thing you must have got it right ;)

where is the fencing located under ?

[lonewolf40000]

I think its 'materials.' Its free so take advantage of it!

okay its not working i fenced off an entire yard and its still show that secure behind atleast one door message

[lonewolf40000]

Is there a door somewhere? :)

Screenshots would be very helpful

Cool, what did you have to do out of curiosity? Helps to point people with similar issues to ssolutions

I had the same problem but once I dismantled the door and rebuilt it in another part of the fence that fixed the problem.

fist thing i usaly do is build a wall all the way around the edge of the map and put a few staff or cell doors in and then it just lets me put a yard any where it doesn't need to be surrounded by fence or wall it just needs to be in a place where there is no posiible way to walk out of the prison without going through a door you might be able to solve the problem by replacing any door that leads out of the prison

1. This post is more than 3 years old way to go on revival!
2. post a screenshot of your Prison then i can help.
3. You need to look at Deployment and if it says "Insecure" and is flasing yellow you messed something up

Theres a bug with the Guard Pavilion which breaks the Yard. This may be causing your (and others') issues.
