Yeah this one is broke.

This mod has broke further, Prisoners will not go to any cells and if a bus arrives with fill to capacity the bus will be stuck at the entrance.

V !Please use the fixed version down below! V

Yup, it's dead. Only mod that was active. I subscribed to "Stezza's Smaller Rooms" which does the same and the prisoners go to bed.
torben 9 Jul, 2016 @ 10:06am 
Does it still work? There's no warning sign but my prisoners don't go to bed anymore. I just spend two hours setting things up and now everything is screwed :(

Well the author is online enough it just looks like he's lazed out of this mod or not in to the game at all anymore.

Yay now I can have a prison in a South American 3rd world country! Guatamaula here I come!

Gutted this Mod no longer works :/ Hope it gets an update! :)

I VOTE FOR UPDATE!

Please fix this!!! My favourite prison yet has been ruined by how the prisoners dont get taken to their cells and they dont eat. If I disable it I am left with rooms that I cannot use as they were planned with the mod in mind! PLEASE UPDATE!!!!

i wish this could get updated it was very useful
SneakyGunz 25 Apr, 2016 @ 12:55pm 
Thumbs up!

I'm getting an error where it will not move my prisoners to cells and the canteen. will say that there are no prisoners assigned to it.

I have a fair amount of mods installed, but nothing that should affect the same values as this mod. I've narrowed it down to this mod only, which sucks 'cause its super useful.

Any plans for an update or a compatibility list if it clashes with anything?

I confirm the mess with cell block recognition. Removing single cell from mod's materials.txt seems to work - we have ingame way to reduce cell size anyway.
Shovelmaster88 20 Jan, 2016 @ 12:01pm 
It won't work with the single cell for me too office seems to work fine by me.... It would be so nice if you could fix this problem

It messes with my prisons single cells, it makes it so it does not recognize it being in the same building.

Thank you wilmer007!
DEADPOOL 15 Dec, 2015 @ 9:25am 
good

Office does not scale down

For Version 1.0:

Using Winrar navigate to main folder and uncompress the file main.dat. You'll be given a folder called Data, inside the Data folder go to materials.txt and edit it. Inside materials.txt you will find all the minimum room requirements so just change the values to your liking, save and re-compress the Data Folder as a rar using Winrar. to be safe i named it Main2.dat then i went and deleted the original main.dat and then removed the 2 from the newly created dat to force the game into thinking the file wasn't modified or deleted when in fact it was.

^-- Worked Perfectly!!!!

worked for me as i was looking to add a Yard to all my Super Max prison cells and only needed a 2x2 Yard to give each prisoner his own Phone Booth and Weight Bench while he is locked up. workshop is another good room to shrink its size to under 12 tiles for say a small Super Max wing. 1x7, 7x1, 2x4, 4x2, 1x10, 10x1, 3x4, 4x3, 2x6, or 6x2 as prefered dimensions for the smallest workshops.

Any update with this, I'd still love to use it with version 1.0

fanter 10 Jul, 2015 @ 9:52am 
do you think you could make a 'shared cells' mod
BigMike 22 Jun, 2015 @ 8:53pm

Nice!

cell is still 2x3 for me its not working.

I have the same problem as Jan Pawel Drugi, when I installed this mod nothing happened.
Nutszake 8 Feb, 2015 @ 6:18am 
Hi, I have a problem with installing this mod. It shows up in 'Extras > Mods" menu, however when I activate it nothing happens. I have looked into mod's folder and have noticed that 'data' folder is empty. Is the problem caused by lack of data, and if it is, is there a way to download missing files outside of Steam?
MattMan569 2 Feb, 2015 @ 3:28pm 
Thanks for the update!
Puman  [author] 2 Feb, 2015 @ 12:12pm 
Sorry about the broken rooms, I should have known better than to 'future proof' the mod, turned out to be 'future breaking' instead. Now updated to alpha 29 with minimalist sizes for all the new rooms!
kezza596 1 Feb, 2015 @ 3:59am 
Causes issues for Alpha 29 library - no matter the size is says 'Failed - none'. I've deactivated all mods and tried one at a time and it's this mod. Shame, without it I now have to rebuild most of my prison. Please fix.
Danny 31 Jan, 2015 @ 8:05am 
Yea library needs fixing edited the file myself on my own game so here the fix for anyone who knows how to do it.

Goto C:\Users\(Your Username here)\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods

Find Cramped! Smaller rooms.

Open materials.txt and delete the entire Library entry and replace it with this;

BEGIN Room
Name Library
BEGIN Requirement Type MinimumSize x 2 y 2 END
BEGIN Requirement Type Indoor END
Properties PrisonersCanWork
BEGIN Requirement Type Object Id LibraryBookshelf END
BEGIN Requirement Type Object Id SortingTable END
BEGIN Contraband Id Scissors END

I havnt altered the room size to its minimum size so you will have to make this decision yourself.
Delithe 30 Jan, 2015 @ 6:07pm 
With the new Alpha out today, I found a small bug. The smaller library room requires indoors and none? Makes it impossible to make a library even though I added library shelves and librarian desks.
Rikstarf 16 Jan, 2015 @ 7:30am 
It is the only mod loaded and it is not working, in the rooms window the cell still says 2x3.
Any idea?
Slisket ⭕⃤ 29 Dec, 2014 @ 9:50am 
@puman thanks man it realy worked!! :D
Puman  [author] 29 Dec, 2014 @ 9:46am 
@DoktorBauz The problem is most likely caused by the presence of one or more other mods, yeah.
Slisket ⭕⃤ 29 Dec, 2014 @ 9:43am 
@puman so if i uninstall some mods, will it work?
Puman  [author] 28 Dec, 2014 @ 3:02pm 
@DoktorBauz If you have no other mods installed, I don't have any further explanations for your problems. The mod is very simple so shouldn't be all that many ways for it to fail.
Slisket ⭕⃤ 28 Dec, 2014 @ 10:56am 
@puman it doesnt effect the game, and yes i activated it
Puman  [author] 27 Dec, 2014 @ 10:41pm 
@DoktorBauz In what way does it not work? Did you activate it in the game?
Slisket ⭕⃤ 27 Dec, 2014 @ 5:14pm 
This doesnt work with alpha 28 for me!! fix it pleeeazz
Dan The Human 27 Dec, 2014 @ 1:30pm 
This is nice, I wish the original version had the offices way way smaller, they are redicilous big, for no reason at all.
Puman  [author] 24 Dec, 2014 @ 9:51pm 
It should work fine with Alpha 28, there were no changes to the rooms.
swip3r (washed) 22 Dec, 2014 @ 8:37pm 
Anybody know if it works with alpha 28
thefookenfloofer 9 Dec, 2014 @ 6:54am 
That was the problem......
Data 8 Dec, 2014 @ 2:23pm 
Have you activated it in the Mods Screen? Main Menu > Extras > Mods, click the grey square so it has a Cross [ X ] and then Apply?
