Hello Wardens, Were back with another update this week with more investigation into reported issues, fixes and improvements. Theyll be more next week too but we wanted to get the latest out to you. In addition to fixes, last week we rolled out a new Island Expansion feature, which has been improved further. When playing with an island and expanding the land, the islands generated in the water are more varied, and players now have the option to generate these islands, or just water, if they wish.

Were also working on a tool for you to quickly generate random islands in the location of your choice. Thank you for all your feedback. The Prison Architect Team Changelog:
