Hooray!!!!! Thank you! :D

Some notes:
Still saying large amounts of contraband....I had 2 pills and a shank among 400 prisoners.

Also really weird error but guards are getting stuck inside the guard pavilion...when they are escorting a prisoner (in this case to parole) they go around and around the wood platform in a U shape, never getting them anywhere. I fixed it by telling the guard to go somewhere else, someone else came and grabbed him. Not sure what caused it to start happening.

Staff meals won't go to storage they just sit in delivery until they're taken to the staff canteen. Would be nice if they could get that area clear :).

Still got missing sprites for contraband, even without mods. I did verify my game.

Any information on Gardeners not cleaning tasked tiles (specifically Room areas that are outside, such as Garbage, Delivery, Yard, etc)?
It's been reported and also submitted a video on the issue. Last I heard they are still working on a fix for this issue and hopefully will be in the next patch!

Using the Quick Build menu doesn't remember the wall choice at the bottom, so I have to always manually select the wall I want. It's irritating after a while.

Also when using the Quick Build and placing a wall on a spot with a fence, it builds nothing there. It should dismantle everything below it and build the intended building IMHO.

Also some feature requests for the macOS version:
- option to invert the mouse wheel zoom
- keyboard shortcuts configuration, so my 11 mouse buttons aren't useless

Food, recycle bags, mail bags and trash piling up. Xbox version

The Prison Architect of Nintendo Switch has a serious problem. Several modes of the game can't work normally, and the archive will be damaged. The Nintendo switch system version number is 12.1.0, and the game version number is1.0.12.
 
Thank you for the feedback! I don't know if this is possible on Xbox, but if you can we would appreciate it if you can take a screenshot of the issue so we can see what can be causing the piling.
I have the same problem on the PC version. The game doesn't accept minimum dimensions of the garbage "room" as place for garbage. If the width is 1 square, it gets ignored and the trash piles up in the prison.
 
So when will console receive the over 38 missing items the the pc version has? Things like dormitories and bunk beds, the gymnasium, the boxing ring. I literally have a list of missing items.

Ok guys I am gonna report the bugs. I play this game for so long, over 500 hours. Also tell me your email and I will send you my save file of the prison so you can check it ?

Bugs :

- Gardender dont clean yard room
- Visitors don't show up when is place visitor booth (only visitor table) , even if they don't show up family needs always fulfilled and families wait number disappear.
- Every prisoner going on for parole even if I put 5% parole cutoff.
- Contraband been thrown in the yard dosen't matter how deep inside is yard of your prison.
- Farmers sometimes throw food on the floor when leave farming yard to deliver food into the kitchen, nobody pick up the food from floor so I need manual press "Sell object" button

Thats pretty much it ! Did not see or found any others bugs ! If you guys have issue with worker don't pick up the trash, delete garbage room and place it again with fence and door , that resolve my problem.

Little recommendation for make game better : Create option for deployment only, for example: MaxSecurity sector 1 , MaxSecurity sector 2 , MaxSecurity sector 3. That way we can split 3 gangs into 3 wings, even if I split them manual to cells, after solitary time they assign automatic to new cell and mix up gangs again.

Cheers


We are still investigating and fixing more issues so another update will be coming when they locate the issue.
