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!

Skierky 2016-07-28 15:05:33 UTC #415

Oh, can we also add a work program for grounds keeping? It can add a lot of work force to cut down on free time

D11_Nat 2016-07-28 15:14:35 UTC #416

I believe that freedom needs are sated by outside time, free time allocation and outside-facing windows. Not really a way to get around the freedom need without giving them some sweet sweet freedom I'm afraid!

I've noted your grounds keeper suggestion thanks for that

Nat D11

Skierky 2016-07-28 19:05:53 UTC #417

What does the outwards facing window mean? I have Windows going to the outside and it's not helping

D11_Nat 2016-07-29 07:47:37 UTC #418

As in there is not a covered space on the other side of the wall. Windows will only do a little, the big ones are outside (yard) time and free time. If you're choosing to run a prison with restricted freedom you'll have to deal with the unpleasant fallout from antsy inmates I'm afraid

Eu não sei se vocês irão entender em português, mas vou falar uma ideia que tive enquanto olhava o jogo, porque n fazer modos especiais, por exemplo, um modo de fazer uma prisão na idade média, ou uma prisão de guerra, ou no espaço, ou algo parecido... mas de qualquer forma, essa foi minha ideia para o jogo 'w'

Obrigado pelas sugestões @reNaN ! E desculpe por usar o Google Translate para responder a você

Skierky 2016-07-29 15:33:13 UTC #421

I think this needs to be patched then because every cell has a standard window and the freedom still com rather quickly during lockdown

Killer244244 2016-07-31 15:33:51 UTC #422

Hey,could you make the player a prisoner that wants to escape or an guard that secures the prison? I think it woud be fun .Sry for bad english, i'm german xD

D11_Nat 2016-08-01 08:55:42 UTC #423

High free time and high outdoors access are the things you need to do if you really want to lower that freedom requirement. Can't really get around that I'm afraid but that's all part of the challenge!

Skierky 2016-08-01 20:23:56 UTC #424

Is there a patch date set yet? All of my prisoners lose traits when I restart so some of my snitches lose that trait and the my protective custody wing becomes a death trap for some.

Prisoners I send to supermax for various traits lose them so now I have a bunch of stoical inmates rather than all the volatile prisoners that were once there

Tigertank909 2016-08-01 22:36:36 UTC #425

I need help i dont know how to get the companionship go down and did you update the game that you haveto have drink machines in the canteen

D11_Nat 2016-08-02 08:25:39 UTC #426

@Skierky No patch date yet, we don't get a date until very close to the release- as soon as I have one I'll let you know.

@Tigertank909 Hi there, there's no need called Companionship I don't think- to which are you referring? There are no plans to add drink machines into the game.
