You're the only RUclipsr I've literally EVER heard that uses good ambient/background music. I'm a composer and I'm honestly amazed.
Me to
Seems right, it's the OST for No Oxygen Included, another "colony" "simulator".
Damn, you must watch only, like, 2 youtubers total.
My guess is the workers and staff are bringing in dirt from the outside. Putting the showers in the cell is one of the best tips I’ve learned. I’ll be interested to see what items you fill the larger cells with
Thanks so much for the nice comment and support! And damn, you totally gave a great reason for them doing that. I've worked in the construction industry before and its definitely a messy job getting things setup and built. So you are absolutely right on that guess. ONLY reason that seems valid to me. Thanks for commenting and watching, I appreciate the support, cheers!
I'm just OCD..but everything has to be perfect. My entrance/delivery is in the very center. I built my kitchen in the center of the canteen/ common room inside the yard..those two are the center of the prison and i'm building wings outward (up and down), adding more and more. Your guides are very helpful tho
Dude youre amazing. I had no idea how to play but this tutorial set me off on the right foot to doing my own designs
Man, havent played for a few years and looked for a guide to come into the game again. And I love your initial setup and trying to rebuild it. Though there are quite some things im going to adjust. Specially that the waterpump is outside and only surrounded by a fence and that you place the big pipes directly into the walls of your cells. If Im not mistaken, prisoners can escape through those big pipes. Eventually they end up at the waterpump and only face a fence. Also my Yard will be 10 spaces divided from the outer fence and Ill build Metaldetectors at the ONLY entrance my prison has. Did you notice that these new wallamps dont need power? So you can save money on cables. I very much love your cell setup, no need for an external shower, lets have them theyr own. Im very curious how it goes on :D ... so Im leaving an Abo and hitting the bell
Anybody who is reading this should implement some of these ideas and tweaks on my prison! Some very good ideas there! Thank you for the ideas and kind words! Much appreciated!
they dig along the pipes to escape
Hey double tap, you can double tap on an item to move it 😀
Pure gold LOL
A trick : you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Theo Kieran yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

I subscribed and dinged. Can't wait for part 2. Most tutorials are one topic at a time, so it's nice to see a start-to-intake one.
Part 2 will absolutely be dropped in the next few days! Sorry for the long time in between! Stay tuned for more to come and thanks so much for the kind words! Much appreciated!
Thanks man, been rough trying to get a prison going with no idea where to start. Liked and Subbed
I appreciate that so much! Means a lot to me, btw I will be releasing part 2 to this in the next few days! Stay tuned ;)
Me to
Lol
I’ve had 10 riots cuase they where all in just one holding cell XD
Great tutorial, biggest issue I see is that 1, the yard is not closed off properly to prevent peole from throwing crap over, meaning they can get tools, and since your so close to the map edge, the prisoners can dig out very easily
Very good point! Along the backside and the sides I will for sure double up the fence line to try to negate them throwing things over! Thanks for the heads up, and the support! Much appreciated!
I'm only 6 minutes in but I just wanted to say I'm really enjoying the video. The amount of prep you do is great, it makes everything clear and easy to understand, also enjoy the music choice and your sound levels (my ears thank you).
Amazing job! I love this channel ☺ choice of music is fantastic! So relaxing
Thank you so much ;) , I'm glad that you enjoyed it. And thanks as always for the undying support!!! Day 1 supporter!
Music is definitely calming until I consider that this is a prison being built lol. But I can't be saying anything since I listen to vaporwave when I build my prison.
Yea
Thanks, I was really confused was the game and couldn’t make a prison, keep up the good work, I’ll be watching part 2!
Thank you so much, so glad you're finding it useful and enjoying the content! Always more to come!
very nice! your vids motivated me to try all the new mutators and mods..lotta fun
Thanks man, I'm so glad that you found some inspiration from these builds! That's the goal! Id love to check out your prison in one of my future series where I will be rating subscribers prisons! Stay tuned, and cheers for the comment and support!
Great job, usually when I see an hour long video I am like...here we go...but this actually held my attention for the entirety of the video :D and yeah that makes sense that you shouldn't open up anything until you at least have some cells created :D
7:49 music lines up perfectly with the lack of power popping up lol
LOL omg I didn't even notice 😂😂😂😉
35:22 because workers have been in the mud and then walk inside the rooms with dirty shoes
VERY good point! I realize now how obvious it is too lol 😂 of course right!
Did you end up discontinuing this series? It was a lifesaver. And I hope you keep the uploads coming!
Sorry for the long delay in between, definitely not intentional! Planning on dropping part 2 on Monday! Stay tuned, hope that you will be there to enjoy! Cheers for the kind words btw too! Means a lot!
This video is really helpful, The music is awesome too!
An issue I have with this .. The way he uses the large water pipes makes escape tunnels really dangerous. Sure you want to have the large pipes close enough to the cell for small pipes to reach them. But once a tunnel hits a large water pipe they can basically use that as a highway to escape. So you definitely shouldn't have large pipes around the edge of your cell block like that. Or around the edge of your prison. You're basically saying hey! once your in the water network .. you're out!
39:50 What do you mean? Have you never been to a construction site? Construction sites get way dirtier than lived in spaces. It makes perfect sense. That being said I really appreciate the video I learned a lot!
just picked up the game in the blackfriday sale on steam and this a great guide into how to start up your prison thanks ! !!
You're more than welcome! I'm glad that these tutorials can help make this game more approachable for people, that's been my goal of this channel since the beginning with games like this! Thanks so much for the support!
I know this is early in your build and most stuff will change, but I'd run a fence on the west side of the yard from north to south and 10 blocks from the outer fence. This will prevent prisoners from getting contraband that is tossed over the outer fence. You'll need a short fence with a staff door between the north end of the canteen and the south end of the cell block. Did I miss you setting the punishments for each offense? Too many solitary cells, imo, and I like to do mean stuff like build a small solitary structure out in the yard and use the space inside the cell block for more cells.
Man, you're right about it being early in my build, but I was unaware of some of this information I wont lie! Thank you so much for the detailed advice! Stay tuned, you will see me implement some of this in the future for sure! Cheers!
Hey, really nice high quality content! You just got a new sub! :D
Thank you so much Cael! I genuinely appreciate the feedback and the sub! Trying to build this channel, and its people like you that are help making it happen for me! Thank you again!
Thank you very much for this tutorial!
omg , your tutorial helped me so much thank you.
THIS IS SO COOL. Congrats for 1.39k subscriber.
Thank you so much, I'm very excited myself! Loving the growth thanks to ALL OF YOU! Thank you so much for the support, you've been supporting since basically day 1! Will never forget those who were supporting since the beginning!
I built one with the showers in the cell block hallways, so you save space and you can have a dog handler sniff out contraband at the same time
You said "unlucky souls", dude they are so lucky for being sent to your prison and not mine!
Realistically, having showers inside a cell would not work. Sanitation and mold issues aside (trust me when I say the smell would be unbearable in an enclosed space like a cell) if an inmate so desired he could quite easily plug the drain with bed sheets and overnight try to flood the entire block when he wanted to protest or make trouble (and that's just one inmate, imagine if they coordinated the flood in multiple cells at the same time). This is why, in real world prisons, showers are in a separate area and in designated spaces and times for inmates to use.
Here's a little tip that I don't think you ever mentioned. You don't get refunded when you demolish walls. So it's better to take the extra couple seconds while setting up building que while in pause to not build a wall where you'd be placing a door. Sure it's only $50/block (with the base concrete and brick, all other walls are more expensive) but it all adds up, especially when building cell blocks. Also you won't accidentally lock your workers in.
Like you said, this may seem like such a small detail to consider, whats $50/block right? Lol as the prison gets larger every bit adds up indeed, just like in real life. So I actually really appreciate this tip, and I'm glad that you let us all know! Cheers for the comment, I'm going to do my best to try to remember to implement this in future videos!
I like this I have prison architect and the first thing I do is make a big holding cell then intake all available and then I end up with like 90,000$ and then I make cell blocks but this teaches me how to start thanks
No problem at all, so glad that I could help clear some things up! Thanks for the comment and the support!
The only change I would make is having exports at the bottom and deliveries at the top so that you get max use out of the trucks.
Good stuff !!
I'm brand new to this game and just wanted to thank you for making a tutorial for noobs like me
I'm a newby, this helped a lot to listen to in the background
I haven’t watch the full guide yet, but I do know a helpful tip, you should most likely make a forestry to chop down the trees you planted, and then they will be exported. For money....
It makes perfect sense that it would get dirty without prisoners. Workers are running through it constantly, tracking in mud and dirt. They might be throwing down cigarette butts (no smoking properties tend to only become no smoking after they're open) or leaving behind soda bottles (having worked in construction I can tell you that a lot of construction workers are less than tidy). Dust settles.
My only gripe is with how fast it gets dirty. I have 8 janitors in my current prison, two will clean the staff area, and it will be dirty just as soon as they leave. It's impossible to keep the place clean.
You my friend, thought it far more through than I did clearly! And you couldn't be more right! That makes complete sense after reading this! Thanks for clearing that up actually lol! Cheers for the comment! Glad you enjoyed!
Really enjoying the background tunes. Which ones do you use?
I would not put large water pipes from the outside of the fence to the inside. You can switch it up so prisoners cannot get through, especially near the walls.
Thank you for the video, it's awesome and very useful...
BTW, why don't you use bunk bed? Since each single cell is already pretty big and that means double capacity?
Because I may have overcompensated a bit with my cells in order to add showers and such, I was thinking this adding bunk beds plus only keeping these large cells for minimum security inmates! Adding bunk beds would make them functionally make a lot more sense! I agree with your idea, thanks for the comment and idea. Genuinely appreciate the support!
Thankyou so muuuuch
Idk why my needs isn't going down
Hi. Nice video :) One question: why don't you use Quick Build and/or copy/paste tool?
The dirt is from the workers and staff !
Thanks for helping
Just got the game and am very happy about this tutorial. First try, I had to cram up to 60 prisoners in holding cells just to keep afloat. Nice work. Since it bothers you so much. The dirt in the rooms are probably the workers, they don't really clean up after construction, do they? None I know do.
Greetings from Czech Republic :-) You do it well ! :-)
Wow, RUclips really is crazy, never thought my videos would be viewed across the world, its AMAZING! Cheers from Canada my friend, thanks for the kind words and support :) !
they just got more content. lol love your channel would like to see more
More to come too ;) will be dropping part 2 in the next couple days! And that's what I adore about this game, its still got a huge following and still getting more content on the regular! Doesn't get much better than that! Thanks forthe kind words and the comment, much appreciated!
@@videogamearchitect7462 absolutely
hey this is a great video and really helped me get back into the game. thank you for explaining everything well and making this guide easy to understand. thanks again!
10:34 I tried the same thing and my prisoners wouldn't shower. I had to create a small shower room for them to actually use their showers in their cells at shower time.
27:22
Did he just drum on the fridge?
how are you this good in this game, waiting for part 2
Hahaha I try! Thanks so much for the love! More always on the way!
35:20
Tradesmen have disgusting shoes. Tracking mud and wet cement all over your prison.
Staff doors aren't very secure so I would never place them to areas leading outside the prison.
I agree, I need to make some quick changes to that!
I Rp to much to just have plots of area all next to each other i make buildings I spend so much into design and function just got this game and so hooked
hey man heads up , great work with this video but i got one problem i built just like you but for some odd reason my cells say that i don't have a canteen acess .. would you know why ?
Can anyone help me for some reason my holding cell says it isn’t surrounded by walls and doors when it is
Hey there i just wanted to say that my cells, wont work so i'm not sure if you can fix that or not. But uh yea i just wanted to know, if you could do anything to help me or not, because if so that would be awesome. Thank you for giving my brain an idea though :)
Heard different sounds of tech issues and dlc issues. Still good to start this game? Or wait till discount etc
You are sooo good at RUclips good luck
Thanks so much buddy, always supporting I appreciate it! Love your content too man!
this is realy usefull
Are you lighting something at around 26:15? Hahahahaha
I am in Canada 🇨🇦 😎 lolllll
Whats with the old prison? I just built it till Part 106 and now theres a new so I have to finish alone. Wont you finish the other one?
Sorry mate, I promise I haven't abandoned the other one! Sorry for the wait, and I'll make sure to move it to the top of the list!
How was your cashflow so high before prisoners?
HI again DoubleTap, I have my prison up but not running yet. There is zero issues with the game itself. Except for utilities. I have it install, and connected all the wiring, large & small pipes where they belong. And it still says I have no canteen for the prisoners. They have no place to eat. BTW, I did everything you said to do in the game. I can share my prison on steam if you wish to see it. It took me a while to figure out a design I wanted. And I liked your soliditary cells style. So I designed my own Sol. Cells in my prison. The only issue is what I explained what is happening. But I do have a canteen and kitchen.
I've solved my canteen issues, now it just the Utilities, stove and fridge all still have lightening boltz on them. What's else do I need to do to get them to work properly?
Hmmmm, if wherever you are placing the electrical wiring isn't working, perhaps just surround the entire thing and see if that helps? I know that sounds like overkill, but perhaps that will solve the issue? Let me know if this continues I'll try my best to help you solve it! Cheers for the comment!
@@Starmanw422007 They need to directly connect to the wiring, it just being in the room isn't enough. direct link straight to the row should take care of that.
Wow this helped me more then you could imagine @video game architect! Subbed and like mate, thx for this series!
Very heavy secured
Can't wait to see ;)
You are making your cells too fancy. With the Ready for Transfer DLC, you can encourage prisoners to try and behave by tempting them with a lower security level and a more luxurious cell. You definitely should build spacious cells in the beginning with the plan to upgrade them to more fancy ones later. This alongside reform programs can go a long way to making a rehabilitative prison.
Will this be a series which you upload on regularly?
It will be, I will be going back and forth with this and Tips and Tutorials most likely! Stay tuned, more of both to come!
Can you use this guide on mobile to?
Dude why do you have so many walls, fence gates, and jail doors? Is it a DLC?
I don't have OCD and it is annoying the hell out of me that all your TVs are facing the wall lol.
WHYYYYYYY did you have to point this out, I want to burn it all to the ground now and start again 😂😂😂. I cant unsee this now that you pointed it out its killing me deep down lol. Fixing this ASAP.
The lack of symmetry in this video is so disturbing 😂. Amazing video tho, helped me start a prison
Ty for the heart champ 💪💪
Lol, it may not be completely symmetrical, but disturbing? Damn man I don't think its that bad at all lol. The larger the prison gets, the less noticeable it will be too. Stay tuned, you'll see ;) lol. Thanks for the comment and support though, much appreciated! Glad it helped you get yours going. BTW, going to start a series soon where I review subscribers prisons, so stay tuned and maybe I can check yours out! It better be 100% symmetrical now :P . I'm playing, cheers man!
@@videogamearchitect7462 no problem dude. Thanks for replying. It's nice when people interact with subs. And you best believe I'm finna make the most symmetrical prison to put yours to shame lmao. Looking forward to the next video dude
@@kingj2704 Haha lets gooooo! Some friendly competition, I'm with it hahaha. Thanks man, thanks for rocking with the channel! I appreciate you bruh, stay tuned!
@@videogamearchitect7462 of course bro. Do you have an upload schedule at all because RUclips isn't always the most reliable at showing me videos
I disagree that selling your wood is a good choice. If you have carpenter you can make beds and you won't need to buy wood. Also you make more profit for it, rather selling the wood.
This is why I love my community, you guys always fill me in with the best info! This sounds like a MUCH better idea! Cheers for clearing that up, appreciate the idea!
What size plot is this
when the jail cells are bigger than the staff rooms rofl
Hi tap I am the guy that wanted the last prison on the workshop
Hey man, sorry about that I do plan on putting it on there! I also want to setup a way for you all to send your prisons to me as well so I can look at them and see how your builds are going! Cheers, and stay tuned!
DoubleTap there is a way somebody who does fixing city skylines videos just asks for people to label at as “[Name] fix my prison” and then asks them to tell what exactly it is called on a Social platform.
Be sure not to *DoubleTap* that like button.
. . . Gotta hit it with the Mozambique Drill.
For some reason the lower cell block says it isn't enclosed anyone know how to fix it?
No idea why this would be..... are you blocking those cells with walls your inmates cant get past perhaps? Let me know if you ended up solving this! I'll do my best to help!
I've tried everything but it still says it isn't enclosed and I've checked my design and its the exact same as yours so ?
Hi DoubleTap, my name is Steven Whitehouse, and I enjoyed watching your past tutorials on Prison Architect. I've watched you, Seniac and a few others build your prisons. And I have a small prison of 10 cells. And a very basic detention center and administrator center. I do have a problem with it though. I've built a canteen & also kitchen. And have the utilities all set-up. But the red triangle says I have no canteen. And the is a lightening bolt next to the stop, fridge. And I looked and still can't find the issue. Is there anyway I can load my game unto steam to have you or someone check it out? The name of my prison is StarmanW55's Prison.
I believe the lightening bolt is just letting you know that you need to make sure its connected directly to the power grid. The other issue regarding it saying you have no canteen even though you have one built is definitely an issue I've run into before. What you want to do is make sure that you have absolutely no leaks in the perimeter of your prison. If you have any leaks in your fence or whatever perimeter you are using, for whatever reason the game will notify you that you are missing a canteen. So let me know if these tips have helped you at all! Cheers for the comment, I appreciate the kind words!
You zoom out when you place doors. I can’t tell where you’re putting them.
Thanks for the positive criticism, I could see how that would be frustrating!
This is great for new people!
I will say you don't need anywhere near as many serving tables for 96 prisoners -- 3-4 is plenty. Your cooks will be working overtime trying to fill all of those spaces and it will go largely in the bin.
Ahhhh, do they really cook more food than necessary based off of tables placed? I thought it automatically varied depending on number of inmates.... I could totally be wrong though.... I was under that assumption, so I kind of built out the canteen intentionally large so I don't have to tweak it for a while as we expand. Let me know if I've been wrong this whole time though, that is some important information!
It gets dirty when you walk in an area, do jobs in an area, over time naturally. So its going to get dirty when workers are walking around, building things, and then not going into those areas.
I know I’m late to party and you already moved ahead,but still like in previous series I noticed to thing you do and I don’t know why.TVs in cells are turned to wall,is it wall watching TV? 😆 second thing is why don’t you use bunk beds,that way getting 2 people per cell,especially if you make all commodities in them..well hope next time you give shot for gameplay of this game,you put some bunk beds and turn those 📺 facing room not wall.Cool Videos,like to watch how people build their perfect prison in this game,cos my BF works at building a prison at the moment,doing electrical stuff
Bro I need help
I got the game free from steam because it was free for 3-6 days
And then played it normal in the first day and then the second day I didn't play it.
But the third day Is the problem
Because when I try to launch it
It writes "updating tickets" or something like that, then it opens the prison architect game on the steam store
When I click "play now" in steam
It does the same thing
Pls help I rly like this game and I can't buy it
Was it maybe just a trial or the game perhaps? I'm not really sure my friend, let me know if you ended up figuring it out!
@@videogamearchitect7462 yes I did, I was too dumb
It was only available for the weekend and the weekend ended
Simple as that 😅
Bruh I didn’t know you could close your prison.. I had like 80 prisoners die
😂😂😂 I love it, it's the little things sometimes eh
Love the tutorial,, it helps me understand the game .. shame about the many pesky adverts..how disruptive........ One or two maybe but why so many in one vid...that's what I mean by disruptive..it either that or greedy or RUclips twisting my arm to buy premium...
It's all part of the RUclips world my friend. It's how channels are supported financially for the work we put in! Hope you understand and stick around for some more!
@@videogamearchitect7462 I understand that totally and totally agree.....thanks u for for response ... I just got annoyed at sound your sound was good but when the adverts it it disrupted the mix as either I had to reduce volume or increase it to match you again... And was missing out of some stuffs and had re watch vid..l.. I learned a lot. About the game......idk why youtube doesn't clump the Addy's together to fit more if this helps you to do u tube....I used too on my radio station..so I got quite a few in but it I wasn't disrupting my programs.. where in u tube they ...does get disruptive so my gripe wasent really aimed at you trying to earn a living from u tube thru it's adverts its just the way Addy's are placed any old fashion and just got tired of seeing so many ...so I do humbly apologize... I should of just kept my thoughts to myself.......to be honest. I stopped my own premium sub as due to covid 19 I had to close down my DJ business..well forced to close it by UK gov untill safe to resume.. I have tried doing a utube vid before but got a copyright strike on a 30sec light show....and had to remove audio wich rendered my show useless as it was working sound to light.. so before I try again .. I need to know rules they must be away to pull a gig of on here and not get a strike......as DJ I would be promoting an artist music rather than trying to use it wrongly.. so as u are way better at this than me .do u. have any advice on avoiding theses copyright strikes ..as I really depend on other ppls music..as a DJ..... ...
why did you suddenly stop the tips cause now im stuck?
Don't worry! Tips and Tutorials 107 is absolutely coming! I'm not cancelling the previous series, just getting another series going as well! With a much better starting prison imo. So stay tuned! Hope you enjoy this new series as well. Cheers for the comment!
they get dirty from the construction process
Cann I send my prison it's supermax only
Was just responding to the comment below you that that's my plan coming very soon! Going to setup and email for you all to send them to, stay tuned!
Hi DoubleTap, my name is Steven Whitehouse. How big our your prison cells?
Hi Steven, and thanks for all the support first off! Secondly, I believe I made the 7x5 per cell! I have also put all the original sizing information in the description if you want to take a look there to confirm! Cheers for the comment man, stay tuned for more!
@@videogamearchitect7462 - thanks for responding to my post, I almost hit the wrong button there lol. I almost click dislike, and I wanted to say liked lol. my cells are 4x5 and i have 10 cells since I'm a beginner. I looked over my prison and it still says that there is no canteen when I do have a canteen & a kichen. But there is a lightening bolt net to the stove, holding cell & prison cells. all saying no canteen. I can't open prison until I have that issue solved.
I've rebuilt my prison DoubleTap, but I still have the issue where it says that I have no canteen, and I have both a canteen and a kitchen built. And I just finished building the utilities building. I have all the pipes where they belong, but still get a lightening bolt next to stove, fridge. And I missing anything else? I also fenced of the yard as well.
I tend to use the boat model and place the shower drain and toilet all in the same grid. Saves a spot for a sink and mirror.
Ahhhhh, you give them pretty tricked out cells! I love it, maybe I'll end moving things around a bit in a future episode to get some extras in there! We'll see! Cheers for the comment though and the good idea! I love the support from you all! Stay tuned for more! And hopefully you'll be one of the subscribers that send in their prison in my new series coming up! I'd love to see your design and feature it in an upcoming video! Stay tuned! Coming soon!
@@videogamearchitect7462 Well not everyone gets the sink and mirror but combining shower and toilet grid leaves the option for some higher quality cells. I tend to mix up quality of cells even within the same prisoner level and even within the same cellblock. That way prisoners that deserve better cells get them. it seems to work well with the transfer system that way.
@@JCrook1028 This is an extremely intelligent way of going about it! Makes tons of sense to me! Thanks for clarifying!
@@videogamearchitect7462 Yea like some cells get punching bags too, it lessens aggression.

You were super quick with it ;) hahaha respect! Thanks for supporting, someone has notifications on ;)
really annoying to follow along with the video at some points
