Working on a prison rehab

I decided to make a campus design with each sector being self sufficient (Each has their own Infirmary [Admin has a Central Hospital for more larger emergencies and staff training], Security [Admin Sector has a Security Center], Canteen, Laundry [Admin does not have these for obviously reasons], Power Generators, and Water pumps) with Rehabilitation in mind. Inspired by University colleges, British design, and Homer Hoyt's Sectoral city design. Expensive? Yes. The Foundations for the Central Administration building alone (Second image) costs 97k, let alone the rest of the prison. But expenses aside, thoughts?

What is the best setting for sandbox with all dlc?

Hi all, I own the game and all dlc quite a while, and played a few times tutorial in the past, now I would like to start a sandbox game which I can play with all DLC, but I wonder how I should set it up to not make the game crazy.

Someone please for the life of me tell my multiple empty trucks keep arriving and even after the intake time no prisoners arrive. i don't get the money and the number of intake that's gonna arrive next keeps decreasing. i have no idea what the issue is. It all got fuked after i put in that big prison to be built that is essentially a mirror clone of above one. Please tell me what to do? It's been an hour and nothing's changed and the building is not done too coz apparantly the deliveries aren't there yet. My prisioners keep rioting too coz the whole prison schedule is fked. Earlier they never killed or fought but now they need safety. well just pls solve the intake issue :(

Edit- My prisoners are now starving coz no food igredients are arriving too. only empty trucks. If just the supply trucks stopped, the bus of prisoners would com TT

Rate my prison

I am on ps5.
Here is a mainly max sec with some min sec, protective custody and death row that I’ve built over the past few days.
The max sec is all top left and top mid. Admin is all top right, bottom right is protective custody. Mid bottom is death row and bottom right is min sec which is still under construction (the only reason I put min sec in is to put them to work in the workshops for manufacturing)
Any and all critiques are welcome. I’ve been playing Pa for a good few years but feel I’m stuck to building similar blocks and prisons every time I start a new game.
What would you change/keep the same.
Thanks

Prison Architect Fire Engines took a hot minute to figure out (A very VERY hot minute)

Took us way way too long to realize you actually have to manually drag the fire trucks TO the fire. And because of that the whole cafeteria and kitchen turned to ash for a solid 20 minutes irl. Full video of the disaster: https://youtu.be/USN6YYnnr2k

Are Going Green and Perfect Storm worth it?

I own almost all Prison Architect DLCs, but I’m still missing Going Green and Perfect Storm.

Are they worth buying? I’m especially unsure about Perfect Storm because I’m worried the disasters might become more annoying than fun.

What do you guys think?

Arise Dark Lord - from the creators of Prison Architect

I've been working on a new game for a few months now, and the time has come for it to be officially announced. It's called Arise Dark Lord, and it's the 8th game I've made with Introversion Software.

If you've played any of my previous indie games - Prison Architect, DEFCON, Darwinia, or The Last Starship, then I think you'll love this new one.

You are The Dark Lord. Your evil aim:  To raise an undead army and crush the feckless, godless, heathen humans. As your sorcery and army grow, all the world will rise up to destroy your Dark Tower and end your reign of terror.  Fortify your dark realm, enhance your sorcery, and build enough strength to march out and crush the humans once and for all.

An action-strategy hybrid RTS, blending tower defence, base building and direct control of your Dark Lord avatar.  

You can play the prototype now on itch, and I'd love to get your thoughts on the game here. Thanks for playing!

Feel like I missed the glory days of PA mods

There is a large repository of mods on the steam workshop, but almost the vast majority haven't been updated in a long time (in many cases a decade or more). Obviously people move on to other games eventually and this one has been out a long time, but I feel like I've missed out on some great content which will never be experienced again.

Enabling automatic transfers with Cleared for Transfer?

Is there a way to set up automatic security transfers for qualifying prisoners? When they break the rules, they automatically get upped, but there's no way to automatically bring them back down AFAIK.

I'm periodically checking the prisoners tab to see if there's anyone ready for transfer, but I'd rather not. (Even a mod that does this would be acceptable)

Also, how do you guys keep track of problem prisoners to know who to put on permanent solitary?

And is there a faster way to increase punishment durations without increasing each one half an hour at a time?

TIA
