So it's best to kind of divide things with Prisoners in the back, and non-Prisoners near the front or surrounding the Prisoner-area. So Rooms like the Visitation, Workshop, Post Room, Shop, and any Rooms that need items that come from outside, would be best placed more towards the "front" (the road).Īs a bonus it kind of creates this "wall" between where the Prisoners stay and the front door. You don't HAVE to, but it's easier for all the non-Prisoners, such as Workmen that need to carry items in and out, as well as Cooks, or Visitors that come in at the front. So it's best to just not put cells at the edge, cause they might just need to dig a few blocks to be out.Īnother thing to keep in mind is to put the cells more towards the "back" of the plan (that is, away from the road) so that you have enough space for facilities at the front. Of course you can eventually create Perimiter Walls to slow that down, but they're expensive in the beginning. You don't HAVE to follow these, they're not rules, but a rule-of-thumb (to me, anyway).įirst of all, it's a good idea to keep your prison-cells more towards the center, at least far away enough from the edges of the map, because when they attempt to dig out of their cells and they have an opening to exit the map, they'll be gone. I can give a few suggestions about some critical points. So I'd say, just draw what YOU think is logical is first, don't take overly long and don't worry too much, then start building and let the prison run and so on, and see what happens and make changes on-the-fly. Well, in any case, you can't really plan when you don't know what you need or how the logistics are. But sometimes I also like to just go at it and see what happens for a bit more of a challenge (as I'd be less prepared).īut I take it you're new(er) at the game?. Sometimes I like to really sit there and plan for a good while so that I have a good idea of what it would be. If your needing ideas try doing a few prisons from steam workshop til you find one you like best. i still get new ideas for planning my prison. if developing your prison they way you want is better for you that is where most the fun is. I actually found a layout i kind of copy from steam workshop that gave me a few ideas.
Just playing a few prisons i think your initial layout slowly evolves til you got one that works for you. i believe just allowing a prisoner to roam about for a while may satisfy freedom need. but thats an extreme that may or may not be necessary. depending how big you want your prison you may do an outer wall around the entire land plot and put road gates on road. i think i need to disable shower time and keep two or three hours for lockdown if i want them to shower alone in their cell.įor my first prison or so I use fences then i may sell a couple prisons after saving them a couple times then build perimeter walls. I add showers to cells to make showering easier for prisoners. some the quick build rooms dont work for me any more. i usually make rooms 7x7 or 13x13 depending if i need them big or small. if you have outer walls your prisoners cant pass unless they dig through them but guards can watch them by patroling. what i do starting out is build my outer walls. and you can close intake or leave it on or set it to fill to capicity. some things can wait til after you got a few prisoners.
All you need is rooms for everything you need to run a prison.
