This video has an excellent illustration of what you have to do to remove machinery from the workshop, as well as another example of working around the issue of electrical cables never being installed.

There is a text companion for this guide hosted on the Steam workshop: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=164…

    I'm really glad you're doing these videos.  I just got PA and there's so much there that it's a bit overwhelming.  It's good to see how the game works.

    I love your way to play. You have made me to start playing the game. Like the idea of planing the buildings before you start to build. I did use your prison plan on a small map, it works whit some small differens ^^

    All I can suggest is what's worked for me: lay down extra electric cable jobs, in addition to the ones you really want done. They should start on the ones you've already got queued up.

    They're doing that because they can detect a path to the exit. Somewhere there's a hole in your perimeter fence, so as soon as they exit a building they automatically try to escape.

    Added benefit of if the prisoner decides to bring the blanks from the top row to the bottom row, it's not nearly as far.

    I would advice you to take in more prisoners. It's not the best choice for running a more efficient prison, but I think seeing if you can handle 12 prisoners at once would be interesting. Also, don't forget to set the Staff-only areas as such. Currently, you have cleaning crew going by the kitchen. There's a lot of bad stuff they can steal from there, and I doubt your cooks like that very much.

    No need for extra wire in the Workshop just put em in rows going down with NO space between (only top row needs power) - EZ to pack em in that way. (of course you might be doing cosmetic spacing till you need the extra room)
  • Put a two dog patroll around the cell blocks and hire more dog handlers

    Put in more machines and then the next day you will have lots of money to spend on new cells

    Hey, my workers say I can't build electrical wires because the path is blocked, when it clearly isn't. I'm trying to build wires to a metal detector. Any tips? I've tried everything..
