This needs to be known and added by every player who wants a prison larger than 50 inmates. This SOLVES the issues and bugs that have plagued the food/laundry services once you have a larger prison. A must-have!

Does this still work with alpha 34?

Will this fix my laundry problems in Alpha 28?

Cool!

This is the only PA mod I have ever used and it works flawlessly! I had about 218 prisoners when I implemented the mod and there were piles of clothes *everywhere* and the clothing need was the only thing causing problems (after Aplha 25 came out). After activating the mod, it only took about a half a day before the clothing need started droping and within about a day and a half, all of the clothes were being cleaned!

This is a prison I spent several hours laying out and designing back in Alpha23. Back then, I had to just give up because of the laundry issue as well as an unrelated kitchen issue that got patched in the last bug bash. Now, with your great mod, I can finally continue! Truly, this is an essential mod until the devs get a chance to fix it in a patch.

Thanks for sharing this, night.phonix! I was just about to put PA on the shelf for another few months but now the incarceration can continue, muahaha! :+)

I have understanded you

thanks I have understand you，thanks very very much

This mod would conflict with any other mod that modifies how to deal with clothes stacks or any other mod that interferes with cooking stacks(the one that go to storage). The workspace was not changed kitchen will cook and recycle the cooking ingredients stacks(with food recycler), laundry will wash clothes(resolved the problem with laundry stacks everywhere). I don't use the panic button mod so I don't know how it works. I try to play the game without mods or I only use mods that fix problems. As I see things(I started a new max prison) if a guard is under attack other guards that are close to him come to help him so that means that the mod(panic button) is not necessary .

Author ,hi ,the mod which calld the emergency button Mod, it really works?how did you use it

Do you know which one MOD will make conflicts with this MOD?

hello , 569532421 is my friend .nice to meet you

Author: hello, would you please tell me why Washing Clothes MOD workplace is kitchen?

I don't know who worked at the emergency button Mod, but usually a author will fix his mod if he can(sometimes the game changes so much that you can't fix it). I tried my mods on an older prison and they seem to work.

感谢作者，有一个MOD叫做紧急按钮，这个MOD不管用。作者能修改一下这个MOD使它有用吗？Thanks to the author.Have a MOD called the emergency button, this MOD doesn't work. The authors can change on the MOD to make it useful?

You shouldn't have any conflicts I tried on an older prison and it worked.

It should work in alpha 26. If it wasn't fixed in alpha 26 it will work.

这个MOD用在阿尔法26会不会有错误或者冲突？This MOD used in alpha 26 will there be errors or conflict?

你的这个MOD可以在阿尔法26里面用吗？This MOD can be used for alpha 26?

非常的好！Very good!

Excellent mod, thanks a ton for fixing my prison!

Great little fix, TYVM!

I believe this is the first time i've seen all my washing machines working at the same time.

Pls, keep this one up to date until they fixed the stuff. Very much appreciated!

Under materials there is a clear inside area. Do this in the kitchen and then wait and see if it happens again.

Yeah, got around 30 janitors + a few prisoners working at it. Around 30-40 chefs, and around hours without them simply standing in the kitchen.

Do you have janitors? Do you're cooks have time to clean. I'll try to test it but I usually put them at the beginning.

Placed pins in my canteens & Kitchen, no one seem to react on it. They threw other stuff like food after meals, but not the ones already lying on the floor

For Object_Foodwaste you should have a bin in the kitchen. I think it could work if you have only in the canteen but I am not sure.

I didn't find any changes that would make this kind of mod stop working.

ok i'm an idiot. i hadn't even activated the mod in game. now i have, and everything works great. thanks for this awesome mod.

ok, never mind, i found the mod in my save folder. but it still isn't working. i still have stacks of dirty laundry all over my prison. is this mod not compatible with alpha 25?

is this working for alpha 25? because i still have stacks of dirty laundry on the floor that never get picked up. also, how do i check to see if this mod has even installed? i subscribed to it and then start the game via steam. but i don't recall steam ever downloading anything or making any change to PA. how can i check if the mod installed correctly? also is there a manual download link somewhere? thank you.

if you have Object_Foodwaste, you need a bin in the kitchen. then it will be moved to the garbage.

Not fixing my foodwaste for some reason, I do have the food recycling

realy great mod. cleaned my prison, like it :)

Thanks for the Mod. It really cleaned up my +500 max sec prison laundry, which was neck deep in laundry stacks sitting on the ground.

This mod has been featured in all my prisons and is essential for any serious prison architect player. Great job. Thanks so much.

OP : Thanks for clearing that up boss. As of now I love this mod and hope it never gets broken.

Mercutian : Thank you. The Food recycle removes the stuff(cooking not cooked food) that usually goes to the storage and you have to dump it manually. As you observed it removes only that stacks that will stay on the floor(in storage if you have one). The cooked food recycle is still sent to garbage(there is no condition that will make me sure that they will take it after the meal).

This cleans up my game so nicely. I immedietly noticed the laundry room becoming neat and orderly as all dirty piles are combined, tossed in a washer, promptly removed and stored on an ironing board for near immediete ironing.

As far as the recycler im not sure I understand its purpose. I noticed that cooked food that ends up off a stove (say during a shakedown or a kitchen block search) gets recycled, but food moved to serving tables still gets bagged and tossed. Is this intended to just remove the piling up of floor food? If so then awesome.

TY SO MUCH!!

@night.phonix Everything seems to work fine now, after manually removing the clothes that were in the way; The problem was probably rezoning and/or removing a bunch of objects.
Sorry, my mistake. Thanks anyway <3

@sub1to - If you continue having problems with the crumpled clothes tell me because the fix is pretty easy. For now my mod only looks at dirty clothes.

Never had a problem, but I had janitors. Also sometimes it take a while to move the dirty stack. If the problem continues send me the prison to see what is the problem. Is a single uniform or a stack of uniforms? Is it a stack dirty uniform or a stack crumpled uniform? If is a crumpled uniform then the problem is from the game. And I saw that the game knows to move the crumpled uniform to the ironing board(it just takes a while- the prisoners and the janitors should be in the game). For the crumpled uniform I think the janitor moves them to the ironing board and then the prisoner makes them clean uniform. Also did you maybe rezoned the laundry room, because I don't know if the game knows to pick them up from other rooms.

Might just be a glitch, but I noticed a few times crumpled uniforms don't get picked up still.

Awesome <3

I observed that this is sometimes a problem when you select a mod(any mod) to apply. Doesn't matter if it is a mod that changes/adds sprites or not. Usually a restart will fix it.

Alright, turns out this problem went away with a game restart.
Thanks for the mod.
Cheers!

My game while loading this mod:

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/30718619250336997/22E77515D042DF2CC9E79AF720B3105138FF81C8/

I am not using any other mods

Not really because as it is now the Cooked meals are hard coded to be destroyed after the meal. I can try but not all the cooked meals will be recycled and also there is no conditions that will tell them they shouldn't be taken before the meal(they usually have the food brought there before the start of the meal).

can you make a food recycler for the cooked food.

I think in real prison the non eaten food was placed in some fridge, and next day they use it again. so i think it is realistic when you make 2 cooked food in and 1 ingredients out.

I hope you understand what I mean.

NO MORE Shall I have to deal with piles and piles of dirty laundry being left around my prison while all my Laundry prison workers just stand in the laundry room for 2 hours! GREAT MOD <3
