Cooks and Kitchens not working as intended - save files

Hello!
We are investigating the bug reports we are seeing about Cooks and Kitchens not working as intended. If you experienced this bug in one of your prisons, we would appreciate it if you could upload the save file here.

In my min-sec kitchen (the one to the right of the road), cooks won't cook enough. They will stack up the serving tables before meals, but once the first batch of meals has been eaten, they won't cook more during the meal. There are just 3-4 meals cooking, and if I manually dump those, they start cooking rapidly again. I've attached my prison file to this post.

Thank you so much for the save file! We will take a look at what can be causing the issue with the meals.

Hi,

I'm also having the problem with the kitchens. They don't deliver to the Nursery anymore. A couple of days ago i deleted the pans on the stoof and it seem to be working again, but now i have the same problem. Maybe the game is to old or to big?
I now just deleted the pans on the stoof, so hopefully is working again.

The problem does have a work around. What is happening is that the cooks will sometimes leave food on the cooker after serving meals. This will then prevent them from cooking fresh meals.

What you need to do is either dump the meals on the cooker or get a guard to search the food. If the guard picks up the food and searches it, the chef will then go and put the food out on the servng tray.

Once the cookers are empty again, cooks will carry on cooking until the next time it happens.

My cooks stop cooking and serving if there's food on the stove when eating time ends. They go back to cooking once I manually go in and dump the leftover cooking food.

Here is my prison with the bug. I changed the security level of the canteen a few days before this happened; to med-max-mental and back to shared. Just saying. I hope to see a patch for this soon!

I have the same problem here. I need to dump the food in the fridge and the stove all the time. and yet the cooks don't make food.

Thank you so much for your help.

2 months and no response on a game breaking bug really nice

 

[orangetayo33]

Yeah seriously... what in the actual hell is going on. It's been more than 2 months at this point since the game has been completely broken with this bug and not playable. This must be one hell of a bug! Who is actually responsible for maintaining this game, anyone?

 

[Josome12]

I really don't know how to do this but I;m hoping someone will answer

 

[Josome12]

I hope this is the right one as what my support ticket said to do. If it is not I would really like a response back on how to do it correctly.

To be fair with you bro, the game isn't completely broken and I think you are overreacting/overexaggerating. It's not an excuse that the game with such a pretty big company not be able to fix concurring issues, but it is very difficult since they have numerous games to take care of and with covid makes things way harder than you may think.

Any progress on that front?

Rename the file to .prison (web forum didn't allowed me to post .prison file)

Game unplayable.

Cooks have (or had? I tried to fix it) no resources because workers all are bugged and stand on delivey/storage instead moving good and especially they are not building the new thing in top-left corner.

Hi there, I've been having the same problem.

Guys can you please fix the problem where workers, kitchens but also builders and most others do not know what to do and just sit there?

Look at my save above.

People are saying Paradox made the game worse and to play the old pre-paradox beta version instead.
