would be nice if your cells unlocked at a specific time instead of needing a guard. i'm stuck in my cell plenty cause nobody opens it.

Thx for commenting! Yup the prison needs some improvement for sure, but unfortunately my machine started giving me trouble (which makes me think maybe the game itself needs some better memory management) and couldn't add more guards or make it bigger, so I stopped improving. I'll continue this project when I get more hardware power :) then I'll have your advice in mind. Thanks!

'hard to escape from' Digged my tunnel straight from my cell outside the wall, found a big pipe, fellowed it north and digged my way to freedom. Took me only 13hours and 34 mins. Tools were super easy to get, metal detectors dont matter of you are fast enough to stash it and all those snitches. Pfft! if you work alone, you dont get caught.
Farmed some points using the showers, only needed quick/extrem quick for my plan.

Didnt had a riot, but it took over 4 hours until i got my cell (which would make my escape doable in less than 9 hours), the gate placement is horrible for the trucks which will get stuck over and over again because no guard unlocks them. more guards and more space between the gates will fix it

Thanks for all the comments and advices, I'm taking notes for next 2000 immates version.


About floor material, it doesnt really affect tunneling, only walking speed over it, as _termnion points.

I know theres some chaotic rioting in escape mode, the savegame wasnt in made at the best moment, but you can solve it easily or restart with AdrienHqtBelgium's little strategy. I'll try to upload a better save! Anyway you can open it in normal mode, put some order and then save to try a nice escape :)


Please dont forget to give a thumb up if you like the prison :D thank u!

Yeah, every time I play, a riot starts before I get to my cell.
Heatwave Jan 14, 2017 @ 3:54pm 
Tried to escape ... Before i got my cell, a riot raised ... well ... not that much to do for me.
clumpytrack711 Jan 14, 2017 @ 10:52am 
thank you cool prison
Ulysses Jan 12, 2017 @ 4:51pm 
The material of floor doesn't actually change the speed of tunnels... I checked the files itself and in-game. Tunnels have a pre-set speed that are actually defined what kind of tool you are using.

Update: I found out... I'll let the parole rate to 100% and close the inmate arrivals
Waffles Jan 8, 2017 @ 6:06pm 
Is there a way to get a fresh start with it? I'd like to reorganise the whole prison and make some adds of myself but the inmates keep disturbing the work of my workers -_- Its a great prison but, no offense, I think it can be better, I noticed that you didnt used metal floors for the cells, just my advice, you definitely should as they slow down the progression of tunnels.

Murder, murder and murder. Served 11 years of a 646 year sentence.
Swampy Dec 18, 2016 @ 2:15pm 
Are there gangs enabled? I find it too boring without them.
PB  [author] Dec 16, 2016 @ 11:55am 
its ok, i just dont get it cause i didnt know the word =)
StableSerenity Dec 16, 2016 @ 6:11am 
its a joke
PB  [author] Dec 16, 2016 @ 3:07am 
then what u mean with "needs more faygo"? :D
StableSerenity Dec 13, 2016 @ 4:14pm 
faygo is a sweet soda like Sweetened colas
PB  [author] Dec 13, 2016 @ 4:11pm 
Ill keep working on riot issue in escape mode... its not a big problem in single player, and in next version (two thousand inmates) its solved as its easier to separate gangs. still working on it, not finished :)
PB  [author] Dec 13, 2016 @ 4:06pm 
Well, lan Is lost, it seems only happened to you, (maybe bcause of my savegame in a wrong moment?). If you read the thread comments you willl see that we were talking about escaping with no rioting ;)

Jacket i dont get what u mean with faygo


thanks for commenting!
StableSerenity Dec 11, 2016 @ 11:39am 
4/5 needs more faygo
=[DSG]= Lan Can't Aim Dec 6, 2016 @ 11:17am 
If by "hard to escape from", you mean "can't get uncuffed because a riot starts while you are on the bus, making it impossible to actually play", then yes, it is hard to escape from
PB  [author] Nov 19, 2016 @ 11:32am 
what do you mean DropJack?
DropJack Nov 19, 2016 @ 2:07am 
NO way.... I'm serious:steamsad:
PB  [author] Nov 8, 2016 @ 2:36pm 
Savegame updated:
* Now you get more than 500.000 cash to spend in tests, changes or anything.
* Minor changes in guard patrols to prevent easy riot points in Escape Mode.
* New better resolution pictures added to the post
* Some interesting and challenging prisoner... (check pictures above)

Thanks for all the comments and please valorate, thumbs up! =)

PB  [author] Nov 3, 2016 @ 11:04am 
I'm not sure but if i remember correctly you have to subscribe one map then you can download it
Intell Nov 2, 2016 @ 2:20pm 
Im new to Prison Architect, how do I load maps I get from the workshop?
Dark Xenon Nov 2, 2016 @ 1:19pm 
Awesome prison, I tried some escapes attempts with different rules(alone, only by tunnel, no riot ecc) realy funny and engaging
PB  [author] Nov 2, 2016 @ 1:17pm 
Savefile updated after reading some private comments.
Now :
it has some 200.000 cash to spend and try changes,
4 death row inmates almost at frying point,
all guards are trained with tazer
Sector 1 kitchen overheating problem is solved with new windows
Also added valves on all blocks to better control of hot water.

Someone told me it was quite hard to escape without causing a riot, so you are free to try and leave your comments =)
Alas! Nov 1, 2016 @ 10:46pm 
Quadratisch. Praktisch. Gut.
PB  [author] Nov 1, 2016 @ 2:25pm
