Some suggestions:
(Might be added but I didn't realize it)

- Workmen that can carry Jail Keys
- Warden roams the prison
- Increase health stat for Doctor
- Make holes able to be hidden with an item
- Ability to give guards contraband to decrease security
- Fix grant requirements. Ex. "Requires 2 TVs" should allowed Large TVs

Mod is great, as far as I know. I always hated it how the FD was OP. They shot water THROUGH the walls! How... Just how...

Where are the mods files?

im not sure in the US, but i saw somewhere that a country allows pets but it has to be very limited, a small dog or cat, something like that. plus any prison could say (maybe) that they allow pets to be bought from work money or from a house. anyway i see it great AF while im watching my prison, i have a cat in the vault

People in prison do not get cats or dogs in real life :/

It's pretty easy to remove yourself, just go into needs.txt (in the mod's files) and remove the lines that pertain to Companionship. Modding this game is super easy.

I'm not sure how it's not immersive. I'm sure some prisoners get pretty lonely at times. If you just plop some cats around then you'll never have to worry about it. I'm not too interested in editing this mod anymore.

Could you please remove compainionship? Its not immersive

you need to place radios around the prison. That is this mod

Update 1.4 is out. The largest update so far. I can't wait to play around with it as a consumer rather than as a modder.
syntax  [author] 13 Jul, 2017 @ 2:38pm 
Updated the mod to version 1.3.4. The mod now works in Update 12b.

I would probably return to fixing the problems this mod has, as well as updating content, if I wasn't busy making mods for Skyrim. Check out my profile on Nexus Mods: Shadyfan4500.

Maybe when I run out of ideas there I'll come back to PAP.
syntax  [author] 5 Jun, 2017 @ 6:36pm 
cakeki, I have no idea why that's happening. This is a pretty old mod, and I'm sure the game has had a few updates since the mod's last update. That could be the problem.

Sparkles, as I'm positive I described earlier in this comment section, PA has a system for mods where you add the description in a text file, and it's very hard to add breaks in that. I tried it once and it didn't work, so I updated it manually here. Well, that was before I updated the mod like 3 more times, and each time I updated the mod the description reset here to the one from the text file (I think, it was a while ago), which explains the lack of spacing.

Seriously dude, you need to learn to add a break in your lines of text every now and then....

random sprites appear on the game when the apply the mod, any advice?
syntax  [author] 3 Dec, 2016 @ 8:57am 
Hmm... Cats are actually crashing the game. Alright. I'll post a new version where the cats are removed. If I ever come back to this mod I will fix the issue and put them back in (companionship need as well).
Peelwi 3 Dec, 2016 @ 4:48am 
kwargs, yeah they crash my game too. I can place them in hallways just fine, but they crash it after a while. I feel like there should be a new way to fulfill the companionship need by either fixing cats, adding new ways or just removing the companionship need entirely

you can say what to do before it works

I'm having problems with the cats - in fact, they seem to be crashing my game whenever I hire a cat
syntax  [author] 29 Sep, 2016 @ 3:05pm 
you solve the companionship need with cats. You can "hire" cats in the staff menu, then deploy in around the prison. They don't move, so place them down and then they sit there forever unless they get pushed by prisoners. The companionship need shouldn't raise the heat of the prison - if I remember correctly. Check your thirst need. You may need some drink machines in the canteen to solve that need.
monocule2702 29 Sep, 2016 @ 7:26am 
hi, since I installed this mod I have problems with the companionship need. How do I fullfill this need? Because now I can't help my prisoners in this need and the heat of my prison is constantly on max.
Thanks in advance and great mod!!

Prison Architect Plus version 1.3.2 is now live, and for now at least I am finished modding Prison Architect. It's a very fun game and it's fun and challenging to mod it sometimes but I really lost steam in it after a few weeks of modding. I got most of my ideas down and then, well, just abandoned it. I'm not finished forever, because I might come back, but for now at least it's done. I don't want to leave without any word so I left you all this message. Thank you for almost 3000 downloads, and almost 20 thousand views. I've never felt so important, just kidding lol. I hope it works for you all and I hope you enjoy the mod.
syntax  [author] 5 Aug, 2016 @ 5:26pm 
That was one of my first goals with this mod, but I very quickly learned that I would not be able to do that. Maybe you could ask around the forums for someone to make the mod, because I won't be able to. I wish I could though

I think it was fixed in 1.3 or 1.3.2 (yet to be released) but I don't remember which. The Priest sprites are very weird so I was only able to use one. I believe this is fixed, or at least I can see them (all spiritual leaders) in 1.3.2

Make sure you have the sprites.png file in the mod is all I can say. Perhaps the cat moved, in which case I've only ever seen the downward and left inverted sprites. Maybe it's facing upward and the sprite's not in the right place in the file? Place one in the infirmary, go into Escape Mode, punch it, have the doctors heal it, then see if you can see it, because it might change direction.



Sorry everyone. I spilled water on my laptop and I've been without a computer for a week. I'm not able to work on the mod or test it or do anything. I can barely watch youtube right now. I'm going to my mom's later today so I have access to my desktop, but first I want to see if I can fix my laptop with stuff I have over there
syntax  [author] 29 Jul, 2016 @ 7:01am 
(I'm going to reply to everyone in the order I saw it. My comment as to why it's taken a while is cooming)

Wooden spoon is now metal because all wood was sprayed with metal coating. In the description.

Shops aren't broken, they just require a shop front. It's a little silly in how it says it though.

Stop spamming your youtube channel. You can't leech off of me because you helped. Notice how I haven't plugged my own channel...

I tried originally to make it a list, but very little actually made it in the description. I can't test this unless I update the mod, because the description for steam is in a file in the mod and it's updated every time I update the mod. I can try though. Also, why would anyone be afraid of text? It's a large paragraph with structuring, just missing the spaces between that structuring. Just like school.

Aidyn 26 Jul, 2016 @ 10:12am 
I haven't tried it yet, but I would have a suggestion about the description. Make a proper list. Seeing a wall of text like this can discourage people from even trying it.

@emaniac25, is that seriously just a link to your own yourtube channel? This is a mod comment section. Stop spamming promotions at random places.
Sonic 25 Jul, 2016 @ 6:10pm 
@Emaniac25, I honestly think you should stop the YT self-advertising. Limit it to your Community Pages (Workshop submission descriptions, Screenshot captions, etc.) and Profile.

THIS MOD IS LIFE
syntax  [author] 24 Jul, 2016 @ 5:20pm 
I would fix the unconcious fire putting thing if I knew how. That was the very first thing I intended to change with this mod, but it's not in Main.dat so I can't do it. Or I haven't found it.. The workmen should already repair burnt walls and ground. They fix everything that gets broken, it's part of the Escape Mode patch they made a while ago. One thing though is that if you take out the capacitors of a power generator and they rebuild them, they don't turn them back on if there were so many damaged that it turned the power off. It's a great technique for starting a riot, but only if there are less than one armed guard for ~25 prisoners, especially if they're well placed.
kevinvrooom 24 Jul, 2016 @ 9:31am 
and can you make so that when you fire a building and the flames get put out, that the workmen can repair walls the ground and so that the rooms get built back again
kevinvrooom 24 Jul, 2016 @ 9:25am 
For god sake, One thing I HATE about escape mode (im a starter:D) is when you die/unconsicous EVERY flame puts out. sorry for bad english.

You need to hire cats to get the companionship need down. I'd check to see if it does "raise temp" as the game calls it, but I'm too tired. Full day of work, first real one although it's temporary. I'm glad that the cats do move a little, but I'd prefer them to move more. Maybe it was injured and a doctor healed it? Happened to me and the sprite changed as if it moved. I put a fishery and cats into the game because it's content. Not much of a stretch to believe really.
Niádh024 23 Jul, 2016 @ 11:35am 
Why put a fishery into a prison game? and cats.. ??

I can't add images to the rooms if they're separate mods, because the ui.png file will be incompatible or so I've heard.
