How make difference sectors for example in Max Sec ? I wanna make 3 wings in Max Sec sector only to devide 3 gangs. Which means blue gang in Max Sec sector A , red gang in Max Sec sector B ? It is that possible ?

Mod update:

- added Harbour, Dock, Beach, Farm, Mixed Area and a room name with just a space so it won't show up.
murgh  [author] Jan 26, 2021 @ 3:14pm 
Note to self: add min/med mixed, harbour, dock, beach.

Mod update:

- added Insane Only
- added Insane

If you desire another room name which is not in the list but very useful, just drop a note.

That was a bug in the game and got fixed by one of the rock hotfixes.

Hi there, thank you for making this great mod. Unfortunately, it seems to be incompatible with the latest update (the_rock_1.0). When creating a new prison the game crashes when creating a new room (tested with "Staff Only"). The same happens when loading a save with already existing rooms. I can't find whats causing it in the mod files and I also verified the integrity of the game files and unsubscribed and resubscribed to the mod but the crash still occurs. Just wanted to let you know and ask if you have any suggestions?

do you know any mod that is like this but does security levels instead. (like for "reserved" supermax prisoners who are maybe from max security level prisoners but you upgraded their level since they tried to kill your staff with a gun)

You can mark a single tile on the floor if you mean that.
Fancy_Force Jan 10, 2019 @ 4:59am 
Hello, can I mark a single cell with this mod?
Silly Goober Jan 8, 2019 @ 7:44am 
Alright then.
murgh  [author] Jan 5, 2019 @ 7:57am 
No, not possible to mod... read below.

Hey, can you add a prisoner only zone?
Seal Nov 12, 2018 @ 10:47pm 
It's alrightTM, I've done seen worse.

Sorry I've been blowing up your comment sections by the way.
citizen.empire Nov 12, 2018 @ 10:40pm 
While this mod wouldn't have to change the regime each security type follows, it would allow you to zone areas where each number group is allowed to go, and which cells they use. That way when you designate a prisoner, they don't go into any random open cell/ cell block that matches their security type, and they won't all go to the same canteen (yes, I know you can change that part in vanilla, it only sorta works as it only designates what cellblock uses what canteen, not what prisoners.)

Prisoners can have their designation changed at any time by the player which allows for prisoner transfers to another cellblock.

The exception to these would be the prisoners not designated with a number, as they will go to any area that matches their security level. prisoners would come as they do in vanilla, and the player would assign them when and as they see fit.

Is This Possible?

Expanded Number Coded Security Sectors For Prisoners

While still using the Death Row, Supermax, High, Medium, Protective Custody, And Low Security Sectors, this mod would also allow you to designate prisoners even further by giving them specific number codes
(example: High 1, High 2, High 3. Indicators would be on the jumpsuit back)
This would also allow you to create specific cellblocks for prisoners to be moved to. Only prisoners that are designated with that cellblock location or prisoners that have not been designated can go to that cellblock. (example being Cellblock High 1, Cellblock High 2, Cellblock High Three)

The description clearly states what it does: it "adds 27 rooms with a sector requirement".

Nothing more nothing less.

Where does it say that it also adds more custom colours for new custom security levels at the Deployment menu? Please tell me which screenshot shows more custom security levels at the deployment screen as well?

If people keep force thinking it does that even though there is no trace in the description telling it does, and the screenshots also don't show new deployment options, then I can't help it.

If this is only cosmetical and dosn't add any function why don't you just say so instead of talking around it. I had to read all comments 2 times just to find out that this mod dosn't add any function. It is still a nice mod but your description implies more functionality.
murgh  [author] Apr 8, 2018 @ 2:16am 
I wonder what's not clear about 'Mark the area where you need a separate sector and set the desired security level in the Deployment screen'? You use the room name which suits your needs and mark it at deployment the way you need it to be.
Cera Ralaz Apr 3, 2018 @ 5:18am 
Are those rooms actually restrict access or this is simply cosmetical?
murgh  [author] Jan 22, 2018 @ 2:00am 
Read below. Not moddable.
Whollyspokes Jan 21, 2018 @ 10:32pm 
what about zones that grant access to varying security prisoners like minsec and medium only
Lymon Dec 30, 2017 @ 11:32am 
This is usefull
Seal Dec 20, 2017 @ 3:41am 
jeez this looks SUPER helpful! Will try it out next time I'm designing prisons and hopefully not causing riots! :D
DeepFriedEggs Dec 9, 2017 @ 4:13pm 
Too bad. I was looking for a "everyone but SuperMAX" type zone without creating an elaborate entryway.
murgh  [author] Oct 27, 2017 @ 12:42pm 
Adding more security levels in the Deployment screen is not moddable. Don't confuse that with what this mod does. This mod adds zone-required rooms which you can mark in Deployment. But it does not add more Deployment zones like 'guards only' or 'visitors only'.
Game Over, Man Oct 24, 2017 @ 5:49am 
The "guards only" zone would force staff to use a longer pathway around it, otherwise they tend to go through areas they shouldn't
Game Over, Man Oct 24, 2017 @ 5:47am 
Can you please add a "guards only" zone to prevent staff from using a hallway?
Also "guard escort" is a great idea.
Gwenwyn ap Dafydd Oct 14, 2017 @ 9:30am 
@Smoke
I like that
Smokie Oct 12, 2017 @ 6:57pm 
Oh ok I see. Cool I'll give it a try. Is it possible to do a escort only area? where the prisoners need a guard escort.
Vellis Oct 12, 2017 @ 6:22am 
Protective Custody / Incarceration :steamhappy:
murgh  [author] Oct 12, 2017 @ 2:49am 
Just some variety in naming, nothing more. Instead of using large jail doors you can mark a piece of a hallway to separate sectors. The dot and lines are there because it's not possible to have a blank room name.
Smokie Oct 11, 2017 @ 11:22pm 
Whats the difference between:
1) Restricted and restricted area
2) access denied and no access
3) staff only and administration
4) minsec only and minimum
5) medsec only and medium
6) maxsec only and maximu,
7) pc wing and protected custody
8) deathrow and deathrow only
9) whats ___ and the dot do?

Whats the difference between using vanilla deployment and these?
SuburbanSean Oct 8, 2017 @ 9:02pm 
They are actually Metro Stops from the Metro Stations mod.
SuburbanSean Oct 8, 2017 @ 5:23pm 
@Alphaduck those signs are from a different mod.
Duckie Oct 8, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
What's the signs with the red circle around ? What do they do ?
murgh  [author] Oct 8, 2017 @ 1:39am

Darkhulk ʕ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°ʔ Oct 8, 2017 @ 1:35am 
What the difference between 'restricted' and 'access denied' ?
Future Architect Oct 7, 2017 @ 8:22pm 
A visitor zone?
murgh  [author] Oct 7, 2017 @ 1:33pm 
Updated with North Wing, South Wing, East Wing and West Wing.

If you want more zones, just put them in the comments.
rjjoyce Oct 7, 2017 @ 4:46am 
this is great

Advanced prison deployment.

What's the point of this

Wow this is a great addon thank you!
