I would like to know how to prevent prisoners from rioting.

Is there a possibility that this is a bit outdated with the sprite sheet? I just installed this and the advanced CCTV icon for detecting misconduct is now incorrect. A minor bug, and I can live with it, but through I'd give the heads up to check, though it does not look like this mod is being updated anymore.

Also do I need staff needs for staff to buy lottery tickets or something else because I can never get my staff to buy tickets.

question: does anyone know what the vending manager does? for me he will refill vending machines as the description says "Hire a Vending Manager to take care of refillings and repairing the Vending Machines." but workers do this as well so I dont see a point in getting a vending manager

working?

I tested the mod and it works fine as long you don't have any mods that conflicts with it, because i tested it with one mod only. Until theres a bug issue i won't fix it as of now

Update please!!

Update Pretty Please

update please

Is this working with Sunset?

where is the air conditioners at all?

Does the air conditioner work for anyone?

I have lottery stakes everywhere, they aren't putting them into the vault.

Mod is not compatible with content of Perfect Storm DLC and Gang DLC. Staff are unable to finnish trainings. Tazer training is the only working training.

A update of the content and textures would be appreciated.

iirc, the machines create money bags that are sold later. they do it every some number of transactions

when I see someone buy something from a vending machine, I get no money from it, is this supposed to be like that or am I supposed to get money from prisoners buying stuff? What is the incentive for placing these machines?

Ok something serious is happening now. 18 new prisoners show up, soon as they climb out of their bus it says "released" and they run for the map exit. And yet my reform score is the lowest for some reason. The biography says "Broken" on all of these. I had 4 million put into this prison from selling the last one. I give up.

The latest release. It seems to eventually resolve itself for some prisoners but not others, but the only main issue seems to be hygiene at any given time of the day. I'm thinking it might be an issue with the main game, I'm not sure. Before I would have the hygiene issue while they were sleeping, and then the first hour of free time after sleep they would all shower. I'm not using a lot of mods right now.

which version are you playing? you might want to report a compatibility issue

I'm not sure if this mod is the cause but since using it it seems my prisoners are ignoring a lot of their needs, especially hygiene, even though they have a shower in their cell and plenty of free time. At least the luxury need is taken care of.

Nice idea, I might try that out. Thanks for you help

there's a mod called prisoner allowance. you could use it to give your inmates pocket money

I'm working on an isolated max security prison where each prisoner has their own walled off section of prison with their own canteen, yard and workshop, and zero deaths (except that time a few people starved to death because like 60 odd cooks wasn't enough). These vending machines are what I hope will make this more successful and require less manpower. I still use cooks though. The only thing they were missing in the last prison I built like this was luxury and lack of jobs, although I did have them doing their own laundry in the prison before that. I had experimented with using wall panels to share classrooms etc but that didn't work.

solving literacy need does not count towards reform score.
you can also have prisoners work in no-qualification rooms (mopping, laundry) but be advised - gang members never work and properly managed gang members should not have money (they extort it from other prisoners by occupying points of interest (yard, common room) which they should not be allowed to do.

I was thinking how the newspaper thing provides some literacy, while not providing any qualifications, maybe it would contribute to a parole or something. Are any food vending machines free? It's just that if prisoners arrived without any money they might starve before they complete a shift in the workshop. The water cooler might be free, but would it really feed them?

all of those, sure, but why classrooms? these machines don't host educational reform programs afaik

With the vending machines providing the food need, including the water cooler, is there even any need for cooks, kitchens and a canteen? I'm wondering if I can just have a bunch of vending machines to completely replace cooks, shops, classrooms.

my staff meals are stored in vending storage however will not be delivered to staff canteen or staffroom. dezoning vending storage fixes issue, however, means that vending products are left in delivery. any idea how to fix?

idk if this only happend to me or other person too but everytime i use this mod the box image in the storage shelf bugged up like its so strange why the box image like a guard, cooker and workman together lmao

No idea, could be a zoning issue perhaps. Or too many jobs for too little workmen?

Deliveries area is almost full of stuff for the vending storage room but no ones moving any of the stuff to the vending storage room. I have more than enough storage shelves only like parts of some of them have stuff on them. Any idea why this is happening. Its made my save unplayable almost.

there's hidden door timers under it i think?

HOW CAN I CONNECT THE AC? CAUSE IT WONT ON

Shouldn't it go to exports?

For some reason no one is moving the vending money from machine to safe

the game never had very efficient pathing, now it's just gotten worse

Thank you for the fix, 2. I thought it was game engine problem

@david: issue 1 should be solved now, issue 2 is due to the game engine, not mod related.

Mod update:

- disabled Ingredients production rules for compatibility with Paradox DLC

Uncomment them in production.txt if you are not using the DLC.

That is what I thought because it only broke the new DLC rooms

It's compatible with 2018.
From what I hear, Paradox versions and DLCs might require a separate, differently coded mod altogether.

Great mod, but I have found two problems since I have installed the DLC's
1 It breaks the Pantry room when the vendor storage room is placed anywhere on the map and it breaks food distribution to kitchens
2 If you have two separated staff rooms a distance away, with multiple vending machines in each room of the same type, when a guard as example wants some soup, he goes to the vending machine that is the furthest away, this maybe a game mechanic

Of course. It has been that way for years and years. You are required to enable those in order to have access to stuff which makes use of it.

If you turn of power and water, the utility menu is greyd out, so cannot create the AirCondition room....

Great mod!
Would it be possible to give them well fed status after eating from a vending machine? :)

Either sell it, or wait for it to go to exports.

Hey! Also noticed that money earned from vending food sells just lies near vending machines, so i can only earn money manually by selling them.Is this how it suppose to be?

Oh,thanks :)

Workmen can and will take his jobs as well, it's a matter of the Ai deciding who gets it first.

hey! Looks like vending manager does not do his work. Idk why but my workers refil vending machines instead of him. He just walking around in a storage room. Did all steps in correct order...Some thoughts?
