4x4 | Office Desk Chair Filing Cabinet |
The office is where officials work - one such room has exactly one character assigned to it. Regardless of who works in a given room, the required equipment always stays the same and consists of a desk, a chair and a filing cabinet.
Below you can find a list of officials and what they give:
- Warden - opens access to bureaucracy (see: Bureaucracy) and lets you set a regime (see: Regime);
- Accountant - lets you see a daily balance sheet and take loans;
- Psychologist - lets you see what prisoners need in the Needs tab in the Reports menu (in the lower right corner of the screen). See: Prisoners' needs.
- Foreman - he doesn't play any role himself, but lets you unlock useful bureaucratic tools: clone tool, prison labour, janitor and groundskeeper.
- Chief - lets you invent: deployment, riot guards and Cctv.
Offices don't need to be large to function properly. The minimum size, i.e. 4x4, is entirely enough.
Assigning an official to a given room is fairly easy - just choose a desired member of the staff in the staff menu (see: Staff) and place her in an office to assign her to it. What's interesting, they can work even if their offices lack required equipment (a desk, a chair or a filing cabinet). Maybe it will be repaired soon.
