Building all these foundations / floor must have been so expensive!

I usually build only when I need something, the rest is grass. It’s not really bad to make prisoners walk on the outside.

Also, not industrial enough for my liking, I use shared cells that are a bit bigger but have 4 slots

Why the fuck is the chapel this big 😂

The game is Prison Architect if anyone is wondering

Edit: nevermind it’s stated in the description but I didn’t see it

At first glance I thought this was rimworld and you were running some organ harvesting operation of epic proportions.

I haven’t played in a few years so take this with a grain of salt.

My approach is to build things out incrementally. If your cashflow stays positive the entire time, you won’t have money problems.

For design, try to find modular chunks you can repeat. A cellblock with bathroom and showers. A canteen. Make blueprints from them and twist them.

Do you have a foundation and walls around the entire space? I usually kept most stuff outside with a fence around the perimeter.

I like how you have it set up! Leaving yourself room to expand is smart!

If you find you’re struggling with long walk times, think about planning your prison with the inmates’ schedule in mind. So if they wake up, shower, then eat, then work you might want to plan your prison with those facilities laid out roughly in that order so nobody has to backtrack and waste time.

You can also have multiple cell blocks with duplicated facilities in each, so a little group of cells with their own showers and canteen etc. if you can plan a tiny efficient prisoner block with a balanced proportion of facilities, you can easily scale it up by just duplicating it over and over.
