It looks like one of those perpetually in development things.  They'll probably keep working on it for as long as people keep buying it. 

It's pretty playable right now.  I usually only fool with it every fifth release or so.

I would hardly go that far...it was released very early in development and just has a lot of features that still need to go in. They are doing an amazing job of keeping a strong pace and regular releases

It was released so early that you could not large pipe through walls. Or anything else thats been added since alpha 2.

[LordSlowpoke]

not large piping through walls made sense to me actually

i mean the description is "large enough to crawl through" or something like that

how do you slap that under a wall without tearing down the wall first

tunnel under it?

Pipes are usually underground no matter the size.

Hmm, I can't recall: have they amended the issue yet where you could take in a load of Min Sec prisoners (so, easy to manage) and then simply reclassify the poor blighters as Max Sec in order to get paid full money for them, regardless of how low-risk they were?

You mean in the game or irl?  that's just the bureaucratic part of the simulation.

I seem to remember reading earlier in the thread that only their original security designation matters for funding purposes.

[Yolan]

Hmmm. I was wondering if this release would justify another play, but not yet.

I'm most interested in having a challenge in keeping a bunch of max sec people secure. These changes make it a bit more interesting for newer players, but if you have your design principles down right everything is safe.

1. Have a proper perimeter fence. I was doing this even before it was actually necessary, so people throwing things over the wall is just not going to happen. Nobody is getting anywhere near the damn wall.

2. Same with the smuggling. You should be screening these areas like kitchens and workshops anyway for knives or tools that can be taken directly from there.

Better security systems are a nice feature, but doesn't really chance the game much for me.

Hmmm. So yeah, I am still holding out for prisoners teaming up for smart escapes, or working in cahoots with sympathetic staff. Person to person relationships need to be added/fleshed out as a foundation for more complex arrangements that can actually work their way around the systems you make. At current, you need to be really new for any real breakouts to even be possible. Money is also really easy to come by since a few updates back.

Maybe in a few more months.

So, someone made an 8 bit computer that can calculate the Fibonacci sequence.
That's pretty neat.

It most definitely did come up.

[Aklyon]

And you most certainly are late bringing it up. Thats something like half a year ago now.

[nenjin]

It was also completely stupid thing for someone to come after PA for.

What can i say, I'm in a sympathetic frame of mind. If i made a thread about games coming up against reality (let's say, the patholgic remake unfortunately coinciding with the Ebola outbreak), and how they can give their due, is it likely to suddenly burn to a crisp?
