As there have been repeated inquires as to why Prison Labor is incompatible with Replimat, I'm providing the following excerpt of a conversation with PL's author Avius, so that people can understand why the issue won't be fixed in the near future.

Avius did, in fact, already had a fix for the Replimat-PL issue, but mismanaged his own repo so that he can't publish the fixes on his end.

Avius: oh ok, so I dont know what 'meal logic' you mean, but PL modifies vanilla mechanics so Prisoners can get food from another room
Avius: it should be harmony patch yup
Avius: do you want me to point to specific code fragment?

sumghai:Yes please
sumghai:Because Dubwise and I were working on Replimat together
sumghai:and he was convinced you Prison Labor was doing something different

Avius: https://github.com/Aviuz/PrisonLabor/blob/master/Source/HarmonyPatches/Patch_DisableAreaRestrictionsForPrisoners.cs
Avius: https://github.com/Aviuz/PrisonLabor/blob/master/Source/HarmonyPatches/Patch_SocialPropernessFix.cs
Avius: my bad first one is bad

sumghai: Okay, ignoring first one :wink:
sumghai: Here's what we've got on our side:
sumghai: https://github.com/sumghai/Replimat/blob/master/Source/HarmonyPatches.cs
sumghai: https://github.com/sumghai/Replimat/blob/master/Source/ReplimatUtility.cs

Avius: oh
Avius: yeah i remeber now
Avius: in this version I really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up
Avius: fixed it but patch is in patch queue for centuries

sumghai: Ah

Avius: okay so here the problem
Avius: I somehow failed to patch it normally
Avius: and did really something weird
Avius: copied all code for food delivery and rewrite it
Avius: then replaced whole code

sumghai: D:

Avius: https://github.com/Aviuz/PrisonLabor/blob/master/Source/Tweaks/FoodUtility_Tweak.cs
Avius: https://github.com/Aviuz/PrisonLabor/blob/master/Source/Tweaks/JobDriver_FoodDeliver_Tweak.cs

sumghai: No wonder Dubs was tearing his hair out trying to work out why our patches weren't compatible with yours

Avius: https://github.com/Aviuz/PrisonLabor/blob/master/Source/Tweaks/WorkGiver_Warden_DeliverFood_Tweak.cs

Avius: those three are for that
Avius: yeah I believe I fixed that, but cant make patch solid and push to master
Avius: its pain in the ass, I'm waiting about a year now
Avius: to push changes

sumghai: You can't push changes?

Avius: I mean, I can but I have only two branches
Avius: master and dev
Avius: and on dev there is too much to do to make it "stable"

sumghai: For my own projects, I usually just push directly to master lol
sumghai: (after testing that it works locally on my machine)

Avius: so there is matser 1 year old and dev and so tiny amount of motivation
Avius: master*

sumghai: I see
sumghai: I guess I'll let Dubs know

Avius: you can override this anyway
Avius: but dont know what is better for you
Avius: I'm planning get back to modding soon, but god know if im going to

sumghai: I'll talk to dubs, but I believe he'll be reluctant to modify Replimat to specifically override Prison Labor

(August 21, 2019)

Dubwise: naaaa
Dubwise: people are ditching prison labor these days for other mods so just have to tell
Dubwise: i aint got time to harmony patch other peoples mods to fix them
Dubwise: takes long enough just to make them compatible

As far as Dubs and I are concerned, the ball is firmly in Avius's court here.

I have also received unconfirmed reports that Prison Labor is being maintained by a different author - if someone could put me in touch with him/her, perhaps we can fix this issue once and for all.
