• Players can now select which region to join when playing multiplayer. Choose the region closest to you to achieve the best ping and reduce the chance of disconnection issues.
• You can only join games that are created in the same region you have selected.

• The multiplayer alpha now has linux support. Linux users can now enjoy cross platform prison building alongside their friends on PC and MAC.

• Fixed various internal networking issues.
• Joining large prisons in multiplayer should now be more stable.

• Added a multiplayer mode to Prison Architect, build a prison cooperatively with up to 8 people!
  • While in a regular sandbox game of Prison Architect you can select to Go Online and host a multiplayer game that people can join.
  • This game can be publicly listed or set to private and protected with a password.
  • When players have joined you can see them as a marker in the world and can see what material or object they have currently selected and are about to build.

• This is our first alpha release of multiplayer mode, with a focus on getting the core functionality working. This means that some features are not currently available to connected clients and we plan on adding them over time as we continue working on multiplayer.

  Features currently disabled on remote clients but will be coming in the near future:
  • Wire connections
  • Deployment
  • Logistics
  • Intelligence
  • Emergency callouts (can be controlled but can't be called in)
  • Reports
  • Prison Grading
  • Graphs

• Added Custom Report Window which can be used by scripted objects to display a mod defined report screen when you click on the object, similar to the Prisoner's rapsheet. Simply set HasCustomReport to true on the scripted object, and then call SetReportTabs to add tabs to the report.
• In the script's PopulateReport function, use the add and remove report component functions to display components for the given tab index. Components can be modified later using the SetComponentProperties function.

• Certain types of prisoners are now able to hijack trucks on the road. If they are crossing the road and see a truck left idle, they will attempt to get in and drive it off (beating up the poor driver if he happens to be inside at the time). Regular old road gates won't stop a speeding truck.
• Stolen trucks can be stopped either using the new Road Barrier object (a sturdy metal gate that only closes during Lockdown), or by having armed guards nearby to stop any stolen vehicles.

You can now build barbed wire on the top of any external walls. Escaping prisoners will try and avoid barbed wire if they can, but will still climb over it if they really want to escape. It's sharp and painful though, and will harm prisoners who try and climb it. Find it in the objects build list.

Prisoners will now climb on fully grown trees to jump over an adjacent wall. They can use this to avoid barbed wire, but can be knocked down off of the tree by a nearby guard as with all other climbing.

• 0011586: [Gameplay] Dog Handler does not stop employees when they carry contraband (Icepick)
• 0011610: [Performance] Game crashes when receiving minimum and medium security prisoners (Icepick)

• Timelapse video recording refactored, crash on shutdown fixed.
• Script Debugger crash fix.
• Objects with BuiltOnWalls property (e.g. Windows, Barbed Wire) no longer cast shadows.

• Rope escapes

  A new contraband item has been added to the game, an improvised rope made from prisoner uniforms. Prisoners working in the laundry will sometimes steal 5 uniforms in an attempt to make a rope. As with all contraband items, it can be stashed or traded. Prisoners attempting to escape that have a rope will go grab it and then head to the nearest outside wall. When there, they will throw the rope onto the wall allowing them to pass over it.

  More importantly, other prisoners will also use the rope in their escapes attempts. You will have to tell a Workman to dump the rope to remove it from the wall.

• Strong prisoners can now escape by climbing over fences.

You can now request a 'Roll Call' at night. This wakes up all prisoners and forces them to stand in their cell doorway.

• Obviously prisoners just looove being forced to do this at 3am in the morning.
• Any prisoners who happen to be tunnelling at the time of the roll call will show up late, giving away their plans.
• Guards will notice this if nearby, but the vigilant player should keep his own eye out.

• You can now view graphs plotting various pieces of data over the life time of your prison
• You can compare changes over time by displaying two stats on the same graph

• Better Entity modding
• Modded entities can now have DefaultBehaviour and/or StaffNeed properties.
• DefaultBehaviour gives modded entities basic behaviour that all entities in the game have. They can accept jobs from the jobs.txt file, hang out in a certain type of room (if this is set with the HangOutRoom option), go get healed from a doctor if injured, and go to a staff room when tired.
• StaffNeeds gives any modded Staff entity (Properties Staff) the same needs system as regular staff, on any map that guards and workmen get.
• Modded Staff entities now appear in the Staff reports window under "Other", if any modded staff types exist.
• Fixed: Adding an interface element would add it to the currently selected object's window, rather than just the scripted object's window.
• Fixed: If a scripted object made more than one custom job (via CreateJob) then we would fail to stop duplicates of that job.
• Fixed: Jobs are removed from an object when it is destroyed (Mantis #11595).
• Added: Modded jobs will now additively load in worker types. The first loaded job (based on mod order) will still define all properties of the job (JobTime, Tool, Material, etc.), but subsequently loaded jobs with the same name will add in their worker types.
• Added: CancelJob function for scripted objects. Used to cancel a custom job created on an object (Mantis #11596).

You can now play as the warden inside the prison you are building! Enable this from a new option in the New Prison screen. Most of the user interface is the same, but you can also walk around using the WASD keys (and shift to sprint) You can press TAB to toggle to Action mode. From here you can control the equipment you are carrying, and recruit body guards. Try not to get attacked by your unruly prisoners! But if you do, you will be taken care of by your medical staff.

• Fog of war: You cannot see around corners, so be careful. The one exception is that you CAN see through any CCTV cameras you have installed.
• Arm yourself
  • You can pick up objects commonly found in each room to protect yourself. Think a knife from the kitchen or a taser from the armoury.
  • You can collect body armour from the armoury for some extra protection.
  • You cannot simply attack prisoners without provocation. But if you are attacked you are free to defend yourself.
• Protection Squad
  • Recruit guards to your personal protection squad by right clicking on them from the Action interface (tab)
  • These guards will follow you around and protect you from any unruly prisoners.
  • Bodyguards don't come cheap. They will add a significant cost to your daily upkeep.
• Permadeath
  • Play in Permadeath mode and you will have to rely on the security and medical infrastructure of your prison even more.
  • If you die in Permadeath mode that's it, Game Over.

• New tools are available in the Deployment menu to provide floor signage for Prisoners and everyone else
• Floor Signage provides a way for you to give hints to people as to which way they should travel around your prison. People tend to follow the directions unless a much easier/shorter route is available.
• Misbehaving prisoners, doctors on the way to heal someone, and all type of Emergency callout units ignore the floor signage. Everyone will also ignore the directions if there is a riot occuring.
• To paint lines, simply select one of the new tools, and left-click and drag in the direction you want people to go. Right-click and drag to remove paint.

The game now opens with a new attract screen, slowly panning around your recent saved prisons (or the bundled prisons if you have no saves). Press any key or click the mouse to bring up the Main Menu. This should be a better first screen than simply being dumped on a new empty plot of land.

• Script Debugger Window
  • Added: When highlighting a scripted object in the script drop down menu, the camera will now move to that object to help see which script will be selected.
  • Fixed: Script names were hard to make sense of. Names in the drop down menu are now a lot shorter and easier to discern.
  • Fixed: The window wouldn't correctly open to the selected scripted object, or to a scripted object that threw an error.
  • Allowed more object variables to be used by scripts.

• Removed the cap of 20 prisoners working in a single large room at a time. The new cap is 100.
• Prisoners have received a boost to their academic skill rating based on their security category. This means it is slightly easier to have prisoners pass the education programs.
• The Foundation Education and General Education reform programs have had the number of sessions halved from 10 and 20 to 5 and 10 respectively.
• The Library now requires a certain academic skill rating rather than specifically requiring the Foundation Education program. This makes the Library usable sooner.
• Added a new need, Luxuries, which is satisfied by goods sold in the shop. Prisoners who have satisfied this need are less likely to cause trouble.
• You now gain a commision from goods sold in your shop. At the end of each day, you'll receive a bonus payment based on how many goods were sold in your shop.
• Prisoners who go too long without being assigned to a cell will now have a marker pointing to them for easy identification.
• You can now end all punishments on a prisoner from their rapsheet, not just permanent ones.

• Fixed an issue causing Workmen to regularly move shop goods back and forth between the Shop and Storage.
• Fixed: Dogs of fired handlers would occassionally maul some unsuspecting prisoner to death for no reason. Bad dog!
• Fixed: Number of staff resting with staff needs enabled is now updated correctly

• New staff break behaviour
  • Staff will now take a break when they feel they need to, providing there are enough guards idling
  • No more than 10% of your staff will take a break at any time
  • Staff will stay on their break until their needs are taken care of, but will give up eventually if nothing is available
• Fixes to staff needs provisions:
  • Staff Rooms and Staff Canteens are now assigned a nearby kitchen in the Food Logistics view, just like any normal Canteen.
  • Chefs from that chosen kitchen will handle stacking and cleaning food trays.
  • The assigned kitchen can be overridden manually as normal.
  • More food trays and staff meals will be ordered automatically when you have staff needs enabled
  • Stopped chefs from stacking dirty food trays with stacks that were miles away in a different canteen
  • Fixed tons of issues with staff not using providers when on their breaks
  • Fixed serious issues with food trays not been cleaned and replaced when in staff canteens
• The staff tooltip widget in the top bar now shows ALL guard types, including dog handlers, snipers and armed guards

• Chefs/Gardeners/Janitors now have needs

You can now issue the command 'search for tunnels' from any cell toilet.
This will search all toilets in the block for escape tunnels.

• You can now use the cross-platform Steam Cloud to store your prison and campaign save games.
• Simply toggle the checkbox on the save screen in order to enable/disable this feature.
• The save window will show which save games are on the cloud with a handy icon.
• Save games made when Steam Cloud is disabled will be saved on your local machine only.

The following will be suspended during riots, or during staff strikes:

• Delivery of daily supplies
• Garbage collection

• Fixed : Riot Guards refused to fight when in prisoner controlled sectors
• Fixed : Emergency staff sometimes "fell" out of their vehicle long before it arrived at the Deliveries zone
• Fixed : All new prisoners are not assigned parole times properly. This remains the case until save/reload.

Your security staff now have needs, in much the same way as prisoners. This is optional, and can be enabled when creating a new prison, or enabled from Extras -> Map Settings.

You must take care of your staff needs, or else your staff will begin to perform their duties badly.

The staff members affected in this update are:

• Guards
• Armed Guards
• Dog Handlers
• Snipers

These staff will have a semi random mixture of the following needs. Each need is similar to its prisoner counterpart, but also slightly different:

BLADDER
BOWELS

Staff will only make use of toilets in staff designated zones or staff rooms

FOOD

Staff will eat in the Staff Room if you add a Serving Table. Or you can designate a canteen as "Staff Only" and they will eat there instead. Staff meals are more expensive than prisoner meals and are automatically delivered.

SAFETY

Staff hate to feel they are in danger. You can help with this need by equipping your staff with Tazers, body armour etc, as well as ensuring strength in numbers.

RECREATION

Staff get bored too. They can now make use of any entertainment so long as it exists within a staff room. Eg Pool tables, radios, TVs, etc.

COMFORT

Put some sofas in the staff room for this.

ENVIRONMENT

Same as prisoners, this is entirely based on the cleanliness of the surroundings.

REST

This replaces the "tiredness" mechanic. Be sure to give your staff enough down time.

If staff are happy, this contributes in a positive way towards the temperature of your prison. Likewise if they are unhappy, this will make the prison "hotter" and lead to more trouble later.

If you do not take care of your staff they will become "pissed off", and begin to perform their jobs badly:

• Sauntering around slowly when doing jobs
• Less effective at searching for contraband
• Less likely to actively look for trouble, more likely to turn a blind eye
• Unwilling to put themselves in danger eg confronting gang members
• In extreme cases, staff will take bribes in order to look the other way when searching for contraband

• You can now specify how much break time to grant your staff. Go to Reports -> Policy.
• You can choose how long each break is, and how many breaks per day are taken.
• Staff on break will immediately begin attending to their needs. Nb. Staff will always finish their current job before starting their break.

• Arcade Cabinets have had their sound turned down
• Larger clone size with Tools and Cheats enabled.

• Clicking on a prisoner now brings up the rapsheet directly. This behaviour can be changed in the Game Options menu.
• Dormitories now require Phonebooths instead of Radios to meet their Quality requirements.
• We are now collecting anonymised game statistics so that we can make further improvements to the game. You can disable this collection by checking the Disable Analytics option in the Game Options menu.
• Larger Clone tool size when running with Tools and Cheats enabled.

When enabled:

• All construction occurs immediately
• A new 'Spawn' toolbar button permits instant creation of any game object for zero cost
• Water can be placed like any other material
• Research in the bureaucracy screen can be sped up by holding down the right mouse button on the item

• You can now set which misbehaviours warrant an increase or decrease in prisoner security. For example, murder can be set to immediately make a prisoner Max-Sec.
• You can now disable the cell quality checks that determine which cells a prisoner can be assigned to. When enabled, prisoners who misbehave will not be assigned to a nice cell, even if that nice cell is the only one available. When disabled, prisoners will always be assigned to free cells if that is all that is available.

• 'Infinite' mod loading The game now supports many more simultanious graphical mods than before It achieves this by gradually increasing the size of the graphics tileset, until your graphics card itself hits its limit In general users should find they can now activate a great deal more mods before any problems occur In addition, when the limit is reached you will now receive a warning/error message. (Previously it just started misbehaving)
• Mods with spritesheets larger than 1024x1024 are now supported
• Lua World Scripts:
  • Each mod can now have a data/world.lua script file, which should contain both Init() and Update( timePassed ) functions.

• New item: Large TV.
  Has a larger viewing area and can easily provide Recreation to an entire room.
  Be sure to provide lots of seating spaces.

• The game will now move through the seasons, with the outdoor temperature varying based on the time of year.
• Various weather patterns can occur during the game, varying based on the current season.
  • Overcast
  • Rain
  • Torrential rain (Special event, rare)
  • Snow and frost
  • Heatwave (special event, rare)
• Prisoners needs will be affected by the weather when they are outdoors. Getting rained on will spike their comfort, clothing and warmth needs.
• Prisoners left outside in extremely cold conditions (for example in an outdoor solitary confinement cage) can now die of exposure.
• Weather is DISABLED by default in all prisons, and can be enabled when creating a new map. Alternatively, use the new "Map Settings" screen in the Extras menu.

You can now adjust the settings of your prison from a new screen called "Map Settings", found in the Extras menu. This screen lets you enable certain options that may not have been enabled (or even available) when you first created the map.
Nb. You can enable these options, but you cannot disable them once enabled.

Available options:

• Enable Gangs
• Enable Events
• Enable Weather

• You can now mark any job as a high priority. Simple hold control and either left click or left drag a selection to mark jobs. Available workers (who aren't already on a high priority job) will stop what they are doing and be assigned to the high priority job.
• If no workers are available, high priority jobs will take precedence when the workers become available. A small icon in the lower right of a visible job shows if it is marked as a high priority job.
• You can remove the high priority marking on jobs by holding control and either right clicking or dragging a selection.
• Hovering over an in progress job will now highlight the entity working on it, showing a red line leading to the worker responsible for the job.
• Pressing F while highlighting an in progress job will cause the camera to follow the working entity and keep the highlight active.

Further performance gains were made this month through several different approaches to optimisation.

• More systems moved to overlap with Render().
• Optimisations to the visible object list builder.
• Singly linked lists mostly replaced with arrays (FastList).
• Avoid copying of containers where possible.
• NeedSystem optimised.

Temperature and lightmap system corruption bug fixed.

• 0010618: [Gameplay] Temperature next to fire is in the negatives
• 0010625: [Gameplay] Temperature drops instantly even in areas that should be producing heat

We focussed on performance this month, and achieved a speed boost of at least 50%. This work is ongoing.

• Now defaulting to the VS2015 build, with the old VS2008 build still available for Safe mode (Prison Architect Safe Mode.exe). This gives a good speed improvement over the VS2008 version.
• Asynchronous job search system. Instead of synchronously looking for a job, workers, guards, prisoners, doctors now place a request for a new job in a queue. This queue is processed during render phase of the game loop so shouldn't take up any time during the main game loop.
• Speed up rendering of the Feed Prisoners Objective. This was particularly slow when there were a lot of hungry prisoners.
• Rebuild the indoor/outdoor shadow mask only when a cell changes its material or indoor/outdoor status.

• New pipe type in the utilities view: Hot water pipes These operate on a seperate layer to the existing pipes, and can be overlaid without conflict.
• New utility: Hot water boiler Requires a large pipe connection of cold water, and a direct electrical connection You can run hot water pipes from this boiler in any direction. Nb. Water will lose heat the further it gets from the boiler.
• All radiators now require a hot water connection to function
• Showers can take cold water or hot water. When supplied with hot water, showers will also reduce a prisoner's Warmth need When supplied only with cold water will apply a Frigid effect, which acts as a kind of short-term surpression while also spiking their Warmth and comfort needs.

This update we have improved 3d mode with new shapes, new shaders operating on all objects, and better wall geometry. 3d mode remains very experimental.

Known bug: The mouse position is wrong when using graphics/Supersampling.
Known bug: Long pauses caused by geometry changing, eg wall construction/demolition

• Thermodynamic map to use 16 bit number type to represent the temperature instead of 8 bit. This fixes a bug with fire showing negative temperatures.
• 0010610: [Graphics] entire screen is black and white boxes

• The game now models the ambient temperature of the world, and it's effect on your prisoners.
• The outdoor temperature will vary during the day, and turn cold at night
• The temperature of your indoor areas will be affected by this. Indoor areas near doors and windows will lose heat fast.
• Certain existing objects generate lots of heat : Cookers (when in use), power stations, water pumps.
  • New toolbar button under Logistics : Temperature. Visualises the temperature of all areas of your prison
  • Prisoners now have a Warmth need. This need increases when they are cold.
  • They will protest if cold for too long, and eventually cause trouble.
  • If prisoners are too hot for too long (for example working in a hot kitchen) they will develop a status effect "Overheating".
    This makes them more likely to cause trouble
  • New item : Radiator. Build these around your prison to warm up the indoors when required.

• The old "Clone" toolbar item has been replaced with a new "Quick Build" menu, with more options.
• You can now pick from a set of template rooms, and stamp them dowm in your prison.
• All neccesary foundations will be built (if required), and the area will be cleared of walls and objects.
• Then your workmen will build all the walls and objects required.
• The room type will be automatically assigned.
• You can rotate a quick build room using R or middle mouse click.
  Available quick build rooms:
  • Basic Cell
  • Solitary Cell
  • Luxury Cell
  • Shared Cell
  • Office
• Nb. Clone is now available in the Quick Build menu and no longer needs to be researched.

• A new option in the Extras menu 'Most Popular Prisons' lets you view the most popular Steam Workshop prisons.
  You can choose to view the most popular over the last week/month/year/all time.
  Play the prison instantly by clicking Play.
  
• We are now bundling 10 of the best community made prisons with all versions of the game.
  These are designed for times when you have no internet connection, or are not running the Steam build (so no workshop access)
• You can now attach a Phone Tap to the Secure vistation booths added in Update 3. This will give you more intelligence on contraband, escapes etc.

You can now build guard towers around your prison for an extra level of security, intimidation, and force.

• New entity type : Snipers
  • Hired from the staff menu.
  • These guys will equip themselves with a scoped sniper rifle from the armoury, if you have one.
  • They will then take turns manning the guard towers you have built.
• Snipers will project 'Suppression' to all prisoners within their line of sight.
• Rules of engagement
  • When snipers see trouble occuring, they will fire warning shots.
  • If three warning shots are ignored, they will shoot to kill.
  • If you have enabled "Freefire" they will always shoot to kill, without warning.
  • They will also shoot to kill if they see an escaping prisoner already outside the prison secure zone.

You can now build secure visitation booths in your visitation room if you choose, instead of the usual tables. A secure visitation booth has a glass panel that seperates the inmate from the family member, and they use a phone to talk.

• No contraband can be imported through a totally secure visitation room
• However the inmates family needs will not be satisfied nearly as well
• Nb. There must be a complete seperation of visitors and inmates for a room to be considered secure.

If you are a Name in the Game customer, you can now update your bio and create a female prisoner if you wish. Go to www.prison-architect.com/register to do this.

Scripted interface buttons now correctly pass click callbacks to the script that created them. This allows scripts to add interactions to other objects in the game world.

You can now choose the gender of your prisoners in the "New Prison" screen. Female prisoners have different needs and behave differently than male prisoners.

Children

Some female prisoners are mothers of young babies (less than two years old) and are entitled to look after their baby during their stay in your prison. This requires some new facilities - often called "MBUs (Mother and Baby Units)"

Family Cell

A new type of cell for mothers with babies only. Similar to a normal cell, but also requires a Cot and an integrated Shower. Nb these cells will never be assigned to female prisoners without babies.

Nursery

A shared room for all mothers to live in, typically isolated from the rest of the prison. Mothers will spend much of their time in this room with their babies. Requires cots and play mats for the babies.

Mothers will eat their meals in this room, so it also requires a serving table, benches etc. Your kitchens will be assigned to cook meals for the nurseries as if they were canteens.

• Added world and world cell data variables to the scripting API. This includes getting the size of the world, time index, etc. Setting these variables, however, is currently unsupported.
• A new interface scripting API has been included as well. Mods can now add, remove, and change buttons in the BiographyWindow (shown when you select a non-prisoner object in the world), with callbacks to it's script.
• Modding in escape mode has also been improved by allowing player interaction on scripted objects. A callback to the script is given when the player is close to an object and interacts with it.

- General performance enhancements, especially to laundry system.

- New Translations: Danish, Dutch, Hungarian, Thai

Dormitories can be small eg 2x3, replacing the normal Cell, allowing for two or more inmates to share a cell together Or Dormitories can be large, with shared showers, toilets, phones, tvs, recreational facilities etc. Better facilities will result in a higher room grading, which will have a positive effect on your inmates

There are now several different modes of Intake that can be set for your prison
Choose your mode from the Intake report

CLOSED

The education grant has been rebalanced and made easier. You now need 10 prisoners to pass the foundation course, and 1 prisoner to pass the general education course.

The event system has been rebalanced and is now much less destructive. Specifically, the 'politician demand' event and the 'Virus outbreak' event have been nerfed. Events occur far less frequently. Many other small tweaks to make the event system better.
