easy way to move prisoners?

[Dikshit Koomar]

i captured a bunch of people after a raid and there are a few i would like to recruit while the rest get incinerated. the problem is i have a bunch of beds in that room and other than picking the beds up i dont know how to move them and its really annoying to do that

If I understand correctly, you have a bunch of prisoners, and you'd like to move some of them to other rooms?

It should work fairly easily this way: put a prisoner bed in the new prison cell, uninstall the assigned prisoner bed of the prisoner you want to move (or delete it if it's a sleeping spot on the ground,) then order a pawn to capture the now bed-less prisoner again.

This is from memory, but I'm pretty sure this works.

yea but i dont want to do that as its annoying so im wondering if theres another way

You're trying to move just a couple of them?

Your best bet is to mark the beds you want to move them to as prison beds, then UN-mark the beds in the room your prisoners are currently in, then order your warden(s) to "Take to cell" or whatever on the prisoners you want to separate.

What part of reinstalling a bed and clicking the "take prisoner to bed" command is "annoying?" You can skip the second part, your colonists will do it automatically eventually.

because it takes too long for them to do it without me specifically ordering them to

I'm OK with specifically ordering a prisoner transfer. It's a one-time event, generally, not something that's done routinely like feeding the prisoners.

Something I discovered today: prison hospitals don't count as prison cells. Once the prisoner recovers, they won't sleep in the bed anymore because it's not a cell. Right-clicking on said prisoner gets the "escort prisoner to cell" as a dialog choice.

It is still a cell its just the prisoner won't sleep in a hospital bed when they're not sick just like everyone else.

Topics like this always confuse the heck out of me.

Having to do a bit of manual microing between raids is annoying?

I mean if it was a task you had to do often? Sure. That would be annoying. One time tasks that take two seconds of microing? Shouldn't be a hassle. You're basically just sitting around with your thumb up your *** anyways between raids.

Room A has FIVE prisoners, you want to move two of them to Room B. Room A has FIVE beds, Room B has TWO beds. Make two of the five beds medical, if none are injured, if they are injured you want to move make the Room B medical prison beds and no medical prison beds in Room A.

Also if some are injured and some are not, you can stop that Room A from being a prison, make all beds colonist beds. Now all of the prisoners are stuck in Room A, they will not escape for a couple days. Now that Room A is no longer a prison you can order your pawns to move those you want to Room B, now that they are in Room B, make Room A beds prisoner again.

Hope that helps.
