How to start random event in alpha 36 quick.

Overview

Hello everyone!This is the simple guide how to start random event in your prison quick and don’t wait it a long.

Enabling events

If you don’t want to start new prison with enabled option for events, you can do next steps to enable this option in your current previous saved prison.

  • Go to your save folder. You can do it throw main menu in the game or throw explorer. The path is: C:UsersYour_userAppDataLocalIntroversionPrison Architectsaves;
  • Open your save file with notepad or other text editor;
  • Past the option (EnabledEvents true) with no brackets. I tried to save correct spaces;
  • Save the file and reopen it in game.

Requirements for events

The devoleps gave us this following requirements to start random event in your prison:

  • Events will not happen during riots, or if you have less than 50 prisoners on site.
  • Events are less likely if there have been deaths and escapes recently

In my prison there were about 51 prisoners and in last 24 hours there weren’t accidents. If your guards found drugs, tools or other contraband it’s nothing wrong.

Edit save file again

Open your save file again with text editor and using text search find this following string:

BEGIN Events

You should see text like this:

BEGIN Events Cooldown -0.01421891 NextUpdate 10.5350 BEGIN ActiveEvents Size 0 END END

So, what this options means?

Cooldown

This is the value of time, that shows us when the value in the option NextUpdate begin to start. So you can copy value from my example safely. The value < 0 in this option tells the game that event can be started after value contained in the option NextUpdate.
NextUpdate – this is value of minutes in game, not real minutes. You can copy this value from my example also.

Save file and reload it in the game. Don’t forgot to do it.

Wait your randomly generated event 🙂
Thank’s to review. Good luck!
