[Kori]

Thank you very much for the hotfix!

Possible Bug: When set to "Work and Recruit" my prisoners work properly but my colonists do NOT try to recruit them. But when set to "Chat and Recruit" my colonists try to recruit them properly.

Does Jailor work type is more prioritized than Warden work type? If it is colonist can simply prioritize more watching prisoners than talking to them.

Does Jailor work type is more prioritized than Warden work type? If it is colonist can simply prioritize more watching prisoners than talking to them.

When set to "Work and Recruit" when I right click on the prisoner I do not see the "prioritize chatting to ____" option. When the same prisoner is set to "Chat and Recruit" that option is visible when right clicking - clicking on that option sends a colonist which says "trying to recruit ____". So it seems that when set to "Work and Recruit" the chatting and recruiting work tyep may be disabled for the prisoner? See the screenshots attached.

Right click is irrevelant. Its just how it is. Both jobs can be done on single pawn. Try disabling jailor and right click again. Also keep in mind it has cooldown.

That looks very good, I can't wait for the patch!

As another suggestion, what do you think of an optional setting to enable the joy bar for prisoners, allowing them to use joy objects we build for them?
I've already enabled the joy need for prisoners for some time now and never experienced any problems so far. All of my prisoners, including those who are forced to work, use joy objects in their free time which raises their happiness. It blends very well with the Prison Labor mechanics.

Good idea

This mod feels like what everyone was trying to do with prison workers for a long time. I do have a bug/conflict though.
When using Rainbeaus Fertile Fields there seems to be a mod conflict with prison labor (at least i think its conflicting with that mod). Most marshy soil to soil conversions freeze the game from 1 to 5 seconds with an error in the console that says

What's weird is that the console output shows issues with prison labor even though its not in prisons. It might not be a mod conflict though. I wish I could test it, but I don't think i will remember. Moreso just posting to report in case anyone else notices it too.

EDIT: Just realized this actually happens with ANY construction as long as a vampire (Jecrell's vampire mod) does it. It does not always give the error, but the pause is consistent.

The job refuel fuelable buildings (haul) doesn't work for prisoners.

I tested with only Prison Labor and Locks mod active, with and without Fluffy's Work Tab.
There is no error message, they just won't do it. Even when the building and fuel are in their own cell and refueling is their only duty.

It works without problems for colonists.

HOTFIX v 0.9.4
- disabled Warden and Jailor types of work for prisoner labor, it should fix bug, where jailors do not warden inside labor area

[Jagerius]

@Avius thanks for this awesome mod, this is one of my essentials and should be in the base game IMHO!

Can I suggest something? While I enjoy the motivation mechanic, I would also like to have different options than supervising the prisoners.

What I mean is that my prison got quite large and prisoners are getting lazy despite beign supervised. An options to lay down a beating to remind them this is not a spa or kill one for the fear effect would be nice

[Sladki]

"Clear snow" job in unreachable areas causes instant job cancellation (and "Standing" loop if a prisoner has no more jobs with higher priority).

Edit: prisoners construct roofs only.

Has anyone tried this mod on 1.0 unstable version? Is it working?
