This will search all toilets in the block for escape tunnels. = Steam Cloud saves - You can now use the cross-platform Steam Cloud to store your prison and campaign save games. - Simply toggle the checkbox on the save screen in order to enable/disable this feature. - The save window will show which save games are on the cloud with a handy icon. - Save games made when Steam Cloud is disabled will be saved on your local machine only. - 3d mode improved - The following will be suspended during riots, or during staff strikes: - Delivery of daily supplies - Garbage collection - Exports collection - Prisoner intake - Collection of dead bodies = Weather (continued) - New weather icon in top toolbar - 'Overcast' visual effect now only applies to outdoors (which will look greyed out) - 'Heatwave' visual effect only applies to outdoors (which will look very bright) - Rebalanced all weather probabilities, making 'clear skies' more common, rain/overcast/snow less common - Weather now has a chance to change every 12 hours (previously 24 hours) = BUG FIXES - Fixed : Riot Guards refused to fight when in prisoner controlled sectors - Fixed : Emergency staff sometimes "fell" out of their vehicle long before it arrived at the Deliveries zone - Fixed : All new prisoners are not assigned parole times properly.
