Yup and they are rather overzealous. If you have weapons free prepare for bloodbaths of the worst kind. Also Supression now slows down prisoners terribly....really really terribly.

Oh, armed guards. Nice.
Eventually they're supposed to have weapons that aren't shotguns based on the look of the weapon rack, but only the shotguns are working right now.

Finally no more save hacking for armed guards.

How does Suppression works ? I haven't time to play right now.

Yes Suppression is working.
Its kind of easy mode to use shotgun guards, as long as you keep them out of hand to hand.

I wish you could set Zones to be Weapons Free. That way you could always have an armed guard at the gate ready to shoot, without making your other guards trigger happy.

I think a lot of the game could be improved with zoning. Like that, and to make prisoners in certain cells use certain facilities, so you can have multiple canteens and showers without it becoming a blurgleblurgle.

Descan, they already added zoning. You can split things between sec levels. You can also break pathfinding if you do it wrong, unless they fixed that.

Zoning/pathing was made to work right version before this.

You can still break pathfinding, it just breaks in logical cases. A max sec prisoner will fail to path to a max sec shower that's completely surrounded by min sec corridors, for instance. Otherwise, the pathfinding looks pretty darn intelligent.

Zoning for things like 'weapons free' might be interesting though. A perfect example is the 'front door guard' showcased in the a17 release video; it'd be nice to set the guard by the front gate to Weapons Free, without releasing all the rest of your armed guards.

I'm also thinking of a "killidor", a corridor long narrow corridor I always have connecting the main gain to the prison proper.

Been a while since I played this. 

First new prison, everyone walked of the cantina through the kitchen and out an open staff door, escaping on the first day.

Second new prison, first meal everyone is in the cantina without observation.  Fog of war kicks in, they wreck the place.  Only 7 come out, and I cant find a body.

How can I tell if he has died or escaped?  Are there reports or logs somewhere?  My prisoner manifest only lists 7 prisoners now, and I'm not sure how to find out what happened.

In the Prison Valuation screen (I believe you need the accountant to see it), you can see how many escapes and unsolved murders you've had.

Well huh, it says I have none.  You do always start with 8 prisoners, right?

Could one be hiding somewhere or in a tunnel or something?  What would cause them not to be on the prisoner manifest?

As far as I can tell, there are four. Death, Escape, Release, Game-bug.
