The Hypermax [V2]

[sleek mist]

Being able to house over 800 of the world's most renowned escape artists, and the true bottom of the barrel of society, the Hypermax is a marvel of modern security. With over 400 guards and 900 total staff, this facility is built with the goal of permanent, irrevocable internment of those with no chance of clemency.

Prison file: [to be attached]

Supermax + Max Sec cellblocks

Entrance[s]

Warden's office

Med Sec Main Cellblock + Yard

Is there a benefit to having a larger Warden’s office? I typically only build it 5x4 in order to fit all the objects to meet requirements

[sleek mist]

Yes! Feeling very successful and safe

(and rich)

[hollow cloak]

Ahh, valid

[sleek mist]

Hang on

Paragon?

I didn't know you were here

[hollow cloak]

Oh yeah- I love Prison Architect

[old cairn]

Bragging rights

🤣

[hollow cloak]

I built a large complex too- I’ll see if I can’t post it when I get home, your idea here for a floating prison that exsists on an artificial island foundation is actually quite interesting, and given that there isn’t any insecure land sections by the water means that not only are tunnels not viable- but neither is swimming as they can’t get to the ocean- and even if they could there are still additional barriers.

[placid portal]

What DLC's did you use?

[sleek mist]

Don't think I used any?

[sleek mist]

Oh, I have free for life and cleared for transfer - the two free DLCs, but no paid ones

[visual zenith]

oh hi goat

didnt know i'd see you here

[sleek mist]

@onyx kelp

This is the prison

[past ocean]

How long did this this take to build @sleek mist?

[sleek mist]

I think it took me about half a month or so - I still haven't been able to run it properly so there's probably many issues. Good luck trying to escape :)

[past ocean]

I’m more interested as a builder

How much did it cost?

[sleek mist]

I can't remember specifically, but can go in the save quickly to give you a rundown of the costs. I used a cheat menu to set the money to positive 2 billion so that it wouldn't be bankrupt if people tried to escape in the player mode

[past ocean]

I’d appreciate it

[silk pivot]

thanks for this, lad

[sleek mist]

If anybody manages to escape I'd love to know how :)

[sleek mist]

Around $7 million overall

[placid portal]

😃

[stuck stratus]

ima try it

[stable vector]

Congratulations @stuck stratus! You leveled up to Prisoner level 1 !

[sleek mist]

Good luck! It's VERY difficult. Even I haven't managed it :)

[stuck stratus]

Hmm

for some reason the file only downloads on steam when I use a VPN

I wonder why?

[sleek mist]

You can download the prison here if you can't get it from steam

[stuck stratus]

I'll try my best 🙂

[stuck stratus]

yea i found it funnaly

finally

lol

My pccccccc

its fine in escape mode

its running at 2 FPS

💀

its a very cool prison tho

it must have taken a lot of effort

[final dirge]

Is there an optimalization mod

Become for me it's running at like 1 fps every 3 seconds

Can I change the view in the escape attempt for it to count ?

I think I know a weak spot of this prison

@sleek mist

[sleek mist]

Yep, that is unfortunately something I can't change. It lags for everybody it seems :(

[sleek mist]

Do tell?

[final dirge]

I can show

But tomorrow

[sleek mist]

👍

[sleek mist]

@final dirge could you elaborate on the potential weakness?

[final dirge]

No

[sleek mist]

why not?

[final dirge]

It's a glitch

Glichless would be near impossible

[sleek mist]

I'd still be interested to know :D

[sleek mist]

The goal was to completely contain even cheating players so if there's a glitch that makes escape easy I still want to know so V3 can prevent it

[final dirge]

It's a glitch which makes the player immortable

I don't think It would count

[sleek mist]

I see

[final dirge]

If it wasn't Soo laggy

I would escape it in normal mode

Try making a smaller prison

[sleek mist]

Yeah V3 will be smaller, I wanted to make a "practical" prison that would be endlessly secure and still somewhat profitable - security is costly 💰

Thinking I might even make V4 a one-person prison

[final dirge]

Ik

[final dirge]

No

There is already a one man prison

That is impossible to escape

[sleek mist]

The main thing is that even if it was a 4 or 8 prisoner prison, the maximumally secure option is to prevent prisoner interaction, so it's essentially a 1 prisoner prison with more guards

[final dirge]

Can you dig a tunnel or have you prevented it ?

[stable vector]

Congratulations @final dirge! You leveled up to Prisoner level 3 !

[sleek mist]

There's nowhere you can get a piece of contraband capable of digging tunnels, there are guard dog patrols on the perimeters of every cell block/island

And you need to dig under multiple perimeter walls

[final dirge]

No if you dug under the doors

I used to think you can just run from the door in the medium sec

I am not sure but I think you can pull it off

If you upgrade your stats

[sleek mist]

You can try but I don't think you can get any digging tools

All the kitchens are staff only and there's nowhere to get contraband

[final dirge]

No if there is no guard in that sees you

But there probly is

Stationed

[sleek mist]

There are guards stationed, metal detectors, and guard dogs sniffing you, but you can try it and tell me how well it goes

[final dirge]

My idea was to try run from the front door with the mixed out gang

But the prison is soo laggy

I can barely move

Do you have a V1 version of this prison ?

[sleek mist]

V1 is an entirely different prison with many weaknesses that I have managed to escape many times

[final dirge]

And v2

[final dirge]

I wish there was a optimalization mod

Can we private message

I have a lot of questions about your prison

[sleek mist]

I have my DMs turned on to everybody I share servers with, you might need to change your own settings if you can't DM me. Alternatively, you can ask the questions here. Right now I can't open the prison since the computer is somewhere else, but I can try and remember the answers

[gilded sequoia]

Goat jumpscare

[pearl stump]

the bridges are a really good idea!

[sleek mist]

Thanks! it's the only effective way I've found to create chokepoints that allow snipers to operate 100% of the time, but they are finickity and sometimes require holes in perimeter walls and can cause issues with guard dogs pathing especially [dog owner walks over the bridge, dog walks too fast to latch on to the entry point and gets stuck]. The primary reason for using bridges is to create "islands" that prisoners cannot effectively escape that are surrounded by water and cliffs

[polar dragon]

This is amazing. I like it

[sleek mist]

Thanks 👍

[raven rampart]

no fire sprinklers

[sleek mist]

Unnecessary based on where the office is located. If a prisoner manages to get there, and can start a fire, they deserve to do so.

[delicate gate]

has anyone succesfully escaped yet

[honest elbow]

it's beautiful

[sleek mist]

Nope!
