2018 prison arcitect is best version since paradox has ruined this game now EVERYONE SHOULD USE THE BETA 2018 ANNIVERSEY EDITION

I can't reproduce, both the 2018 and Rock versions of the game seem to spawn stuff correctly from the garden pots and shed. So where do you get those pillars from? Perhaps it's another mod interfering, in which case putting this one on top of it will fix it.

I'm getting a non stop shipment of fertilizer it gets paid for does not stop and leaves the map and on cases when it does stop no one gets it and it leaves with the stuff, what am I doing wrong?
murgh  [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 12:54pm 
You mean that you either didn't build a recycling room where garbage gets brought to, or that another mod is loaded on top, which is messing things up.

This mod broke the garbage collection AI component of my workmen in my game as the garbage would be left sitting around the prison instead of being collected.

Why not use my newer recycling mod? Link is below.

yeah the garden produces an item labeled "none" for a while but then starts making the goods, was it supposed to make a waste product of some type?

Hey buddy! LOVE this mod! I'm not sure if anyone is having this problem. I'm getting a "my logo" error window that comes up when placing the recycling table. It looks like a command prompt window. The only way it goes away is if I restart or delete the table. Thanks for this!

@murgh They just translated the description of the mod into Chinese.
murgh  [author] 20 May, 2019 @ 1:41am 
@DarkHulk I just checked: with only this mod enabled the Ingredients pots are producing ingredients, and not None. You might have a mod conflict. As for the uniforms, just turn off uniform spawning at the recycle desk if you got too many. Same for all other objects which are produced.

@Choker: in English please, I can't understand a word of you said...
Darkhulk ʕ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°ʔ 18 May, 2019 @ 9:26am 
I think this mode cause some problem with uniforms, I got high demand of them, laundry didn't help.

And 'ingredients pot' make a lot of 'nothing' items, with are next put in storage

新花园2
花园控制:把它放在花园的中心。设置收获时间和范围(3-29平方瓦)及其按钮。可以在一个花园里放置几个花园控制装置,每个花园都控制着自己的花园盆栽。如果你愿意,你也可以连接一个门定时器来指定更多的收获时间。
GardenPot(遥控器):把它放在花园控制区周围。将需要堆肥和肥料。
脚本跟踪游戏时间,因此在所有地图大小上运行相同的速度。
老花园的花盆和棚子都过时了,被删除了。

更新:

这是回收率2,效率很重要!
已经做了很多事情来使回收过程更好:
垃圾桶已经被引入:把它们放在你的监狱或回收室收集和堆放未分类的垃圾。它们大小不同,把10, 20个或30个袋子塞进一大袋垃圾中。根据你的监狱大小和垃圾量来部署它们。垃圾桶会缓冲你的垃圾,一旦它们被填满,垃圾就会在回收站处理。这意味着回收利用的工作比以前少了。
为了最大限度地减少垃圾出口,你必须投资垃圾压实机。这台机器将60袋垃圾堆成一堆用于出口。更少的垃圾袋=更多的空间在卡车上的其他东西!当你购买昂贵的垃圾压路机时,少量分类的垃圾出口也会带来一些现金,所以它会自己支付。卡车垃圾的出口,而不是贵重产品的时代已经结束了!

鸡翅包饭 8 Nov, 2018 @ 6:43am 
一个人的垃圾是另一个人的财富——只要你能在你所有的垃圾中找到它。这个回收的MOD会让你的犯人从肮脏的垃圾中挖掘出有价值的碎片。

分类垃圾直接进入出口,绿色垃圾将被放入回收箱,最终成为花园的肥料,在那里你的囚犯为厨房做食物和鲜花出口。

Thanks for enlightening me on the garbage stuff murgh :steamhappy: Five STAR

Recycling 3.0 which is only compatible with PA Update 14 and above can be found over here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1501285297

The version on this page stays for older offline builds, in case it's needed.
murgh  [author] 30 Aug, 2018 @ 8:57am 
Stock bins ar not used for a reason. Garbage isn't as moddable as I'd like and the normal bins gave problems, so I had to work around. The garbage area isn't useless at all, btw It needs a trash compactor and is also the room where janitors idle when they have nothing to do. Leaving the Garbage area away results in workmen and Janitors starting to idle outside the prison, which nobody wants. Unfortunately he recycled garbage can't go to the Garbage area and needs to leave via Exports, also due to some hard coded non moddable stuff. I tried to let it just go to Garbage at first, but then the trucks would not pick it up. They only pick it up from Exports and no other room. So that was a problem... Hope you can understand now that this mod makes the best of what's possible regarding to modding garbage, and why some things work different than one would like.
Jack Harlow 30 Aug, 2018 @ 8:37am 
Hi Murgh I like this mod it's great, I just have one problem there is litterally no point in stock bins so all that moeny put into them is useless? Also it would be nice that the recycled garbage just went to garbage rather than exports otherwise this mod just makes a garbage room pointless also please make the stock bins where unsorted garbage goes and not the trash bins. Thanks
murgh  [author] 20 Aug, 2018 @ 3:30pm 
Mod update:
- Adjusted the Shed to be compatible with PA Update 15, it started spawning staff food instead of bacon and eggs
- Fixed bug in garden control regarding setting the Harvest Hours.

There is an updated recyling available in my combipack 15 mod which uses GardenWorkers (modded staff doing jobs) and other new features. But since those features are only compatible with PA Update 14 and above, they won't get implemented in this mod. I will release a Recycling 2.0 as separate mod instead somewhere in future.
murgh  [author] 10 Aug, 2018 @ 1:09pm 
Stuff already at Garbage zone will not be brought back, so you got to sell those bags manually.
Aru 10 Aug, 2018 @ 1:07pm 
So the sorted Garbage goes to a Garbage Zone with a Trash Compactor so far so clear, but why is no one coming to pick it up? My sorted garbage just piles up in my Garbage Zone
murgh  [author] 1 Aug, 2018 @ 3:50am 
Advised set up in the average prison:

- 1 TrashBin (10 bags) in a small Kitchen (or 20 in medium, 30 in large kitchen)
- 1 TrashBin in Recycling (10, 20 or 30 bags, depending on prison size)
- 1 TrashBin (10 bags) in any area where garbage is produced, like a Garden or Cemetery

- 1 Trash Compactor in either Recycling or Garbage area

- 2 Recycling Desks in the Recycling room
- 2 Small wooden tables in Recycling room

This should be more than plenty to deal with the garbage in prisons up to 500 inmates.
If you place more TrashBins, then the garbage will be split over more objects, so it will take longer for each TrashBin to fill up and get recycled. TrashBins work like a buffer for your Recycling room.


Place as many default Bins from the game if you wish.
They are just eyecandy now and never collect UnsortedGarbage.

Garbage area only needs to hold the Trash Compactor.
No other garbage is stored there, so it can be a small room.
murgh  [author] 1 Aug, 2018 @ 3:50am 
Sounds like either some interfering mod, or you didn't place required items for the garbage chain to work properly.
𝓒𝓪𝔂𝓸𝔀𝓲𝓷𝒆 31 Jul, 2018 @ 7:25pm 
Hello there, I'm having issues where the Unsorted Trash doesn't move anywhere.. In the end I have to manually sell them at 0$ and wasting my time clicking them. I already had Trash Bins (30 bags) placed all around the Prison tho. Janitor Workman and Gardener are all doing nothing.
murgh  [author] 31 Jul, 2018 @ 2:31am 
Oops, changed description, thanks I didn't see :)
Sint Holo 31 Jul, 2018 @ 1:51am 
It just says "Sorted Garbage goes straight to Exports" so I wasn't sure, but I figured it out after I placed a compactor! Thanks for replying
murgh  [author] 29 Jul, 2018 @ 2:09am 
Sorted garbage goes to a Trash Compactor, not the garbage zone, read above :)
Garbage zone might still be needed to allow janitors and others to roam around when idle.
When you remove it, they would roam outside the prison instead.
Sint Holo 29 Jul, 2018 @ 1:30am 
My sorted garabge isn't being moved to exports, it's just sitting on the recycling desk. Also, does this make the garbage zone unecessary?
murgh  [author] 26 Jul, 2018 @ 7:02am 
The spawner from the menu just spawns the table for you, nothing else. I have no idea why it won't do that.
Kwadratus 25 Jul, 2018 @ 2:50am 
Hi there, I tried this mod with a package from "murgh" and I have the issue that the Recycling Table won't "unfold" when I place it. There is enough space, tested it in big rooms, outside, everywhere. It won't convert into the L-shape table it is supposed to look like, thus making the room not ready for usage. Anyone else got this issue?
murgh  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 10:16am 
Best setup is in the comments, just read on.
And no, the desk is not going to rotate.:steammocking:
Napoleon231187 22 Jul, 2018 @ 7:09am 
any chance for tunring the desk ? Just if possible :-) I really love your modification

Question regards the bins do they need to be everywhere in your prison ) metal detector closeto cells etc ? )
murgh  [author] 20 Jul, 2018 @ 9:19am 
Ingredients can't be made sellable, because if they are delivered then the truck would just drive on since it's exports.
murgh  [author] 20 Jul, 2018 @ 9:17am 
Simply don't put so many garden pots producing ingredients then? You should find the right balance, instead of just placing tons of pots which produce way too many for your likings :)
E-Drago 20 Jul, 2018 @ 8:58am 
Can you maybe make it so that any cabbage and potatoes that the kitchen doesn`t need get`s send to export for a lower price compared to the roses and such? I have so many that I cannot see the floor.

Im having a problem, unsorted trash bags are being put in cells for some reason, works keep going to cells and unsorted trash is slowly building up in some cells, I have trash bins everywhere.
darthz42 15 Jul, 2018 @ 11:05pm 
My compactors aren't working and I have MASSIVE stacks of garbage in my recycling room. Please send help.
murgh  [author] 6 Jul, 2018 @ 4:26pm 
!tRanza Read the description. You need to place TrashBins to collect garbage.

!Lv1 sure, should be no problem. But DO you want to let prisoners work here? Did you check Intelligence window for this room?
tRanZa 6 Jul, 2018 @ 10:42am 
I have some problem when i use thid mod .When i build Recycling room my worker not get garbage to Recycling room and don't clean tray food.Who have some problem same me
Lv1 Magikarp 6 Jul, 2018 @ 6:33am 
Figured it out, it's because it was in a high sec only area. Should someone in high sec want to do it do you think the program will auto update and allow them?
Lv1 Magikarp 6 Jul, 2018 @ 6:32am 
I'm getting all rooms booked when I am trying to set up the program for recycling, not sure why this is for the life of me, any ideas?
murgh  [author] 5 Jul, 2018 @ 3:36am 
That would be a bad idea: when there are a lot of default bins placed, this would mean that garbage gets distributed to way too many TrashBins, resulting in your recycling room not getting fed with garbage like you would expect (the buffer would simply be very large before it arrives there). You will only need a few, as explained below, since garbage gets compacted a lot before it leaves by truck.
Vellis 5 Jul, 2018 @ 3:22am 
How about a system that converts vanilla bins into this mod's trash bins?
Instead of having to change every place manually.

Also,
'Refuse Bin' (gray)
'Recycle Bin' (green)
'Compost Bin' (brown)

wow. cool mod. nominate for base game content!

Can you create shelf for uniform?, I have too many!
murgh  [author] 24 Jun, 2018 @ 12:37pm 
Well you could edit the productions.txt and remove other workers from the recycledesk processor.
Adding a prisoner-only recycledesk might lead to unforseen issues, so I stay away from implementing that.
