Will this work with the new DLC comming later today?

I try to teach the prisoners, but it always says that there is no place or something is missing, and no prerequisite is necessary, how to make it work?

Subbing to try this now - just curious though: is there a reason you call it melting and not smelting? The process of melting raw metals to remove impurities and pouring it into blocks is smelting, which is done at a furnace, and the room/building this is done in would be called a metal processing plant or a smelter facility or a foundry. Not really a big deal I suppose, just stuck out to me.

Bustle need got removed, this should be working again

im going to try it out but it looks realy good to me, this could go realy well with fallout mod and the fallout map i may give u a prize if its good!

New updated is out!

Btw.: If someone has artwork for a furnace please let me know ;)

time for punishment camps, were loading in max sec prisoners for the sole reason of working! and if they don't comply... well guess no one will be seeing them again =)

So basically you made a mod where i get prisoners to mine things for profit? And it's socially acceptable? Thanks!

@Twisted_Code:
No, your absolutely right. Just selling the blocks would work as well. In the long run refactoring blocks into necklaces is not worth it. However, this is a work in progress and needs tweaking. In the next release I'll increase the sell price of those necklaces so that in the long run you will come out on top.

@RibzCage:
Prisoners wont attend training if they are other training options open to them or they are not bored enough. Cut free-time to nearly zero, and lock em up all day and attendance during work regime in training will increase! Training will only happen during work regime!!

@Jirout.VojtaCZ:
Thanks for the tipp, my mod is inspired by the one you linked.
I'll definitively will get some new furnace artwork :)

@Dikhed7410:
No. You probably have to many programs active and or too much free time. Note: Training will only happen during work regime.

Can you change the training from voluntary to mandatory because otherwise the prisoners don't attend

Gulag 101

small sum thread to suport this mod
1.https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308960873 check this for inspiration back in old PA this was amazing mod unfortunaly the creator gave up soo i have hopes for yous
2.definetely need better artwork for furnaces
3.everything else is kinda okay but i wouldnt mind it to be bit more complicated like coal generators for your prison or iron mining or other good ass stuff but hey those are just my thoughts

10 mined gold for 2 gold blocks: 4000 - 40% = 2400 profit
10 mined gold, raw: 1000 profit
10 raw gold for 1 neclace: 5000 - 80% = 1000 profit
you could just aswell sell your raw gold, its safer than selling neclases, but gold blocks give the most profit

"Mine
Costs 1.000$ to build. Has a 40% chance to find nothing. Has a 10% chance to find Gold or Silver ores. Has a 40% chance to find coal."
where's the last 10%?

@RibzCage: I dont use this mod (Just looking at it to see if it's worth it), but my guess would be that you should look at your regime and make sure that you have a "work" time setup in there somewhere. If you've scheduled a program, they may not be attending because it's A) either not scheduled in the Regime or B) no one can get to where ever the meeting is taking place.

I can't get prisoners to attend training, no one is interested... some help?

Russia plz

This mod seems pretty cool I think I'll give it a try

I noticed this while viewing the game in my library, and although I have no idea how precisely "vanilla" prison labor works, due to that part of the game being added after I went inactive, I nonetheless became curious. While I would assume it's fairly intuitive (you assign prisoners to work in the respective rooms after they have completed the proper training, and they produce items for you to sell and/or process into other items) one remaining question I have is why, if you have 50% chance of losing the ingredients (I assume that's how the fail chance works), you would bother trying to process gold blocks into a necklace? Can you explain that one? Keep in mind I don't have any idea how this part of the game works in vanilla, so if this is actually a "dumb" question or I'm misunderstanding somehow, please cut me some slack

Probbably yes.

Is this the one I saw on reddit?

* NEW UPDATE *
