Will there be a way to bring my prisoners food directly to their cells? I want supermax to be kept away from others at all times.

[@netkitten]

I love how it still has the same charm as the first game but I also love how now all my prisons don't have to be in the middle of the wilderness! :)

[@darksilver9593]

and I love you : )

[@Triro]

"same charm" meanwhile completely ruining the original style of the game. This is not a game to be hopeful of. Paradox failed with Cities skylines 2, and they will fail with Prison architect 2. Do NOT preorder, actually never preorder something.

It looks so weird to see them taking shower just in the concrete room without any drain...

[@jinx8624]

yh they def need to add a drain system

[@ZeroDivide]

I don't like the Intake process... seems silly to have prisoners just waiting around outside on the grass. The process should be as follows: Escorted by guard(s) from the bus, processed at reception, then taken straight to the holding cell. From there they get picked up by another internal guard(s), searched for contraband, then escorted to a cell. The point of the holding cell would be to cope with the intake bottleneck while waiting for an available guard to carry out the search, and escort prisoners individually to their cell.

[@dr.bherrin]

That's how it was in the first game...

[@RhyzVids]

Inmates were just left on the grass too in PA1 unless you had a reception where they would be processed there and taken to their cells and not a holding cell 1st unless there’s no space

[@petertomley1385]

Seems bizarre to me - being new to the game - that prisoners get dropped off outside of a prison on the grass! XD

[@Isvoor]

Holding cell is also important if a prisoner goes up or down in security levels. You might not have enough max security cells if a bunch of medium sec suddenly move into it.

[@ITSJAY75VR]

Reception rooms are no longer needed and they were never needed so you can still build a reception room but that is will be the same thing. It won’t make any changes just like the first game. Prisoners still get escorted to their to their cells if you watch the live streams you’d see that I think he’s playing on an older version.

[@TheGeekCupboard]

This is genuinely an aces tutorial. Good work @CharliePryor !

7th May couldn't get here fast enough. Edit: Its been delayed again - September 3. To quote Darth Vader "NOOOOOOOOO!"

[@merry1251]

Already love this game. Cant wait to play

[@stimpyueediot]

One thing that I have always wanted is that the deliveries and prisoner intake happen within the prison walls. there is a whole list of good and bad things that could happen. prisoners try to escape under the bus, inside mail trucks....

[@faiirone]

Yes, I like the automatic water and electricity option very much.

[@DiscoDudeChannel]

Will there be more content posted on this channel before the launch? I would love to see more tutorials or gameplay showcases while we wait for the release :D Love the PA2 content

[@mrtommy7796]

Do the intake, delivery and other zones need to be outside? Or can I also place them in fences or buildings?

[@CharliePryor]

You can place them in buildings if you want to. I simply didn't bother doing it for this tutorial

dont get too exited,paradox still cares more about their money then their games. dont be too surprised if its a flop like cities skylines 2

[@KGaming757]

@@dennisheusschen7273 go somewhere else with you wack comments. Im sure Paradox has learned about putting games out without fixing bugs. Besides this is a different developer who is doing this game. Yeah it is backed by Paradox but they are the publisher. They pushed this game back to address issues, That in itself is a good sign.

[@dennisheusschen7273]

Bruh it's a paradox game. You got way too much faith after the shit state they've been putting games out and then abandoning them for the last few years

[@Triro]

Don't be. Paradox has shown in recent years they don't care about their games. Keep expectations low, and DO NOT PREORDER.

[@BlackNomad1]

I kinda wish the colours weren’t so drab. Flat green. Flat grey. No different textures or worn grass areas or different coloured brick buildings… I hope we see some variety while maintaining the serious tone much of the game is going for.

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

will there be workshop support at some point

[@Triro]

Years down the line if they decide its worth their time. They will make the community fix PA2 just like PA1.

[@ENZOMAN12]

I’m super excited for this game.

[@Triro]

Don't be. It's going to be either A: just decent upon launch, nothing special. And then a ton of DLC to add basic things into what should be base game. or B: Terrible launch, with DLC that fixes the issues, and adds content, of course with a price tag.

[@Kastoruz]

Will there be Workshop modding support?

[@MrMpa31]

Love the first game, but Is this just the same game now in 3D? I’m really hoping it expands in some way and can offer something new and more in depth

[@zachs369]

[@Irtadda]

Ima b in here waiting the whole time im not going no where

[@thom101q]

looks good but - the prison looks too clean and shiny maybe some dirt and damage will make a more accurate depiction or at least texture - maybe create a nice aesthetic font so it doesn't look like word doc font floating in the air - this is a small one but shower drains and flooding - some more real features that were in the first game like death row, gangs and horrible stuff unless you want to make a game for children - I understand people like different styles but the UI looks minimalist and colouful like primary school furniture and its not for me - offices look dull I remember you could fill them up in the first game and they looked fancy - maybe add wall stuff the 2d game had wall stuff (edit it has wall stuff) - in another video I saw stairs without outside railings unrealistic, health and safety violation so maybe this isn't a realistic game and its just a game. but I like realistic games so that's what I always look for in games. - I like how you can see the city and things outside of the prison - admin and punishment system looks good - the detail outdoors and of the fences are good aswel

[@dr.bherrin]

I would hope a prison just built would look clean. No one likes drains in the first game. Death Row, Gangs were not in the first game at launch The first games UI was minimalist too You can fill the offices here too, just because he didn't doesn't mean you can't The game has wall stuff, there is a video on that already

[@user-sl309jd90]

In a nutshell the game looks unfinished and kinda empty. It just looks like they spent so much resources to make this game 3D.. But who knows when you actually play it's good.. I will see

We need diagonal walls! Every prison in America built after 1980 has diagonal walls. They make space utilization more efficient and make indirect observation easier by avoiding blindspots. This is the thing that made PA1 almost unplayable to me. I kept having wasted space when I tried making my housing units more efficient.

@@dr.bherrinWhat makes it unreaslistic is how small of a space is dedicated to the shower with no division at all from the rest of the room.
