How to Auto research everything
Step 1: Start the game
Start the game, then simply navigate your way to the main menu to select the Open Saves Folder.
It is possible to navigate to the folder out of the game.
The file directory using Windows is:
C:Users%username%AppDataLocalIntroversionPrison Architectsaves
The file directory using Mac OS X is:
/Users/%username%/Library/Application Support/Prison Architect/saves
For Linux:
/home/%username%/.Prison Architect/saves
Step 2: Open the Saves file
You can use Notepad, Notepad++, etc on windows
To edit your Research , hold Cmd+F (Ctr+F for windows) and search for Find “BEGIN Research” in the file. After that you will see all the different possible things to research, one on each line. Towards the end of each line, you will see “Progress” followed by a number. Change all the numbers to “1.00000” to have everything researched. Also, ensure that “Desired” is always “false”, although if it’s true that won’t break things, it will simply complete research as soon as you load your save.
