Prison Architect February 7, 2023, Update Patch Notes

Jungle Pack Overview

Dear Ma,

I hope you’re doing well, they told me you came to visit me, but got turned away at reception. I hope you’re not feeling ill. So many of my fellow inmates are looking a little green and feverish. Also, the eggs in the kitchen this morning had a large number of bugs buzzing on them, but that’s normal in the jungle. Right?

In other news, we just got a cinema! There’s nothing quite like watching a film with the fire pits blazing nearby. Makes it easier to ignore the rusty metal doors and buzzing insects everywhere.

Ow! I just got bitten! These bugs are the worst. Time to get into my netted bed. Hopefully they’ll let you visit next week.

Love, Your Son

Prison Architect: Jungle Pack Key Features:

  • It’s a prison in a jungle!
    • Use your surroundings to create wooden furniture, five new flooring types (one specific for water!), one outdoor cinema, plus new walls and doors: all are set to thrive in the jungle.
  • Tropical Fever (and how to survive it)
    • Tropical fever can spread among inmates. You can fight and manage it with netted beds, fire pits, and a new, cutting-edge medical program.
  • A Different Environment
    • In the jungle, you will find new trees, which can be farmed and sold or chopped down for lumber. Some wood variants for guard towers, drains, etc., are available.

Jungle Pack (2.99 USD/ 2.09 GBP/ 2.99EUR)​

  • Becoming One With The Jungle– New features and items based around nature and wooden materials to help support your prison in a greener way.
    • New Trees – Two new trees have been added, one for aesthetic purposes and the other as a new export variant for logs and wooden planks.
    • Wooden Items – New Variants of existing items made from wooden materials, such as guard towers, benches, tables, serving tables, drains, and beds.
    • Blending In – A new CCTV camera has been added that has been camouflaged to match its jungle-themed destination. It may be less hidden if placed inside…
  • Fever That Holds You Tight – A terrible affliction has been added to this pack that can cause severe damage to your prisoners. Luckily, your staff needs to have all their vaccinations to work at your prison. So that’s nice.
    • Fever Starts – This event can be enabled from the creation menu, but within the game, it is first brought into your prison by either deliveries or visitors.
    • Fever Spreads – If a prisoner comes into proximity to an infected item or individual, they will have a good chance to gain the affliction.
    • Fever Burns – The fever will have 3 stages, with symptoms worsening as time goes by. If left alone, victims will die.
    • Visitor Reception – Using this new room, civilians who come to your prison can be checked for contraband and their health. Anyone showing signs of infection will be sent away.
    • Fire Pits – these lovely big structures not only light up large areas of your prison but will also keep the “bugs” away from any prisoner within their radius, keeping them safer.
    • Netted Beds – to prevent your inmates from becoming afflicted during their sleep, these new beds will give any prisoner who uses them a short immunity due to the high quality of netting.
    • Treatment Program – To keep your inmates safer for longer, this new medical program will boost your inmates’ health for several days and make it so that they can frolic safely and freely locked behind jail doors and walls…
  • Visuals– Your prison can’t only run smoothly and efficiently. It also has to look good, too, right?
    • Uniforms – It’s that time again. The third uniform pack has arrived! Change up the style of your prisoners and staff once more with this green theme.
    • Flooring – 5 new flooring types have been added, 2 types of stone tiles to decorate the inside of your prison and 3 more natural-looking flooring types to decorate the outside.
    • Water – Although yes water is also a flooring type, we felt it needed its section. The new murky water type is available to give your prisoners a more natural but less clean appeal, which we’re sure you will enjoy.
    • Walls & Doors – A new type of jail doors and walls has been added, the rusted kind. This set of fortifications comes with multiple flooring types below each of the walls and course, both a standard and a large door variant.
    • Clock Face – If you ever wanted a slightly more retro-looking clock face, you have it.
    • Karr Hide – This well-dressed chap is an expert within a jungle environment and will be able to teach your Snipers how to use a scope properly.

  • Quick Build Materials – When using a quick build, the last material selected will be saved when using that quick build again.
