I typically only have the minor incident of someone punching a shower head every once in awhile but the weapon demand still doesn't go down. Even with several days of no incidents. As for drugs, I have programs in place and I think only about 40 of my 750 inmates actually have an addiction. I added some phones to the canteen so hopefully that helps

I know you have been asked this before about a million times, but please tell me you guys have plans on making an escape mode for consoles. I just bought the full game on Xbox one and love this game, but watching pc players play escape mode makes me want to have it even more. This is just my opinion, but having an escape mode on consoles may urge people to want to buy it even more. It's one thing to be able to create your own prison, but to be able to try and escape it to is just pure genius. I really hope you guys look into this more. Ive read the article on "why no escape mode", I simply just want to know if you guys are actually going to pursue adding this feature considering how much demand there is for it.

The blog post is the most up to date information I'm afraid, sorry

That is a cool idea - but we'd also need a new room and long-term programme for laser tattoo removal!

How do you send a individual prisoner to a cell in ps4 and how do u send off prisoners?

Skierky 2016-07-20 23:54:16 UTC #399

You can't choose which cells prisoners go to and what do you mean send off prisoners?

Will the console version of Prison Architect have escape mode any time soon?

D11_Nat 2016-07-22 08:26:59 UTC #401

All explained here, @SavageNickel

Where do the prisoners get the decoy basketball they use when digging to freedom? Can we ever expect a basketball court? Also great new suggestions I've not seen yet, Family homes(conjugal visit) for the best inmates to life in small building with his family, of course there must be rent that has to be paid, so they will need a job.

Hi when will the next update will be out for Xbox one ? And what will it included?

barticle 2016-07-23 12:41:58 UTC #404

I think it's assumed that the dummy heads are improvised from paper and other materials available.

Here's the inspiration! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1962_Alcatraz_escape#Escape

If you have the DLC you'll find Frank Morris in the Prison Warden mode jail The Rock.

@d11_nat

Can we add to the policy tab to where you can choose when an inmate automatically upgrades security levels? I prefer to have inmates that commit murder while incarcerated be upgraded to supermax and not maximum

D11_Nat 2016-07-25 09:39:25 UTC #406

There'll be one within the next few weeks but no date announced.

The update will just have additional Name In The Game intakes and bug fixes. I'm 99% sure there will be no additional content.

I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to pay a couple of quid for a cosmetics pack with relatively low development costs. New objects with the same effects as previous ones, new decorative objects for indoors and outdoors, new floorings, etc. Things like carpets, actual kennels, vending machines with shop effects, chess boards, table tennis and gardens (jobs and food source). Maybe a few fun or handy features borrowed from the more popular PC mods.

I know you want this one, Nat.

I'd like to see the size restrictions for yards lifted. I'm currently building a Supermax fortress and I'd like each cell to have is own yard on the back of it. Their only human contact all day is 2 hours for chow

@barticle OH MY GOD I WANT PRISON KITTIES SO BAD. Forget every other suggestion, I want some kittens lol!

Hi @Tommyzoom13 none planned at present, I'm afraid. Just bug fixes and Name In The Game intakes for now.

Just wanted to let you know that in the v2 preview the shake down noise goes off at random,the visitor booth does not show up to be purchased ,If you put the game at fast speed the staff members/prisoners gitter out of control,and If you go to language menu in the options section it almost crashes the game.

D11_Nat 2016-07-28 10:30:35 UTC #413

Hi Niles, I assume you mean v2.0 for PC? That's our good friends over at Introversion! Would you like me to pass the feedback over? I can do this on your behalf or can give you their details if you want a response from them

How can I satisfy the freedom need for Supermax? I have them on extreme lockdown for a reason. They have 4 hours of yard and 2 hours of meal. I have them on 18 hours of lockdown/sleep for a reason but there has to be a way to work with the freedom need. All of my volatiles wake up and go crazy because of this. I mean let's be real, this is prison!
