Mod request: Free Warden Mode Combat

Would it be at all possible for a mod to allow the warden in warden mode to fight any time? The "self defense unauthorized" thing is so damn annoying. So many prisoners have escaped that I could have stopped if I could taze a prisoner whenever necessary

If inmates escape so easily you have bigger issues than self defence unauthorized

It's only because I'm too bankrupt to afford enough guards. If I could effectively be a guard, there would be no issue

Yeah, I get that now. It is a bit beside the point, though. My biggest issue with the game is the fact that the warden mode is far too restricted, to the point of being just a worse way to play

Thats the beauty of warden mode: the challenge.

You are limited to the vision of an NPC, so you have to build your sectors smart so u dont get shanked at every corner. And you absolutely must build CCTV if you want vision where you are not.

You are not a guard, you are not authorised to fight inmates, except in self defence. The only time you can go unrestricted is during riots when you can slip away through the chaos.

You are not weapon certified. You can only take from the armoury the small guns that can fit in your pocket. Or confiscate a larger gun one of your guards dropped during a fight so that "an inmate wont get its hands on it".

Maybe you like it that way, but I don't, and I'm positive I can't be the only one that feels that way

Fair enough. What would work is maybe a guard mode where the player also gets the job list of a guard and could stop misconduct.

On-topic: it is probably not possible to remove unauthorized force right now.
