CHANGES

= Reputation

    New prisoners sometimes have a reputation, shown when highlighing them or
    in their rap sheet.

    Nb. Existing prisoners (in alpha 24 save games) will not have any
    reputation - only new arrivals.

    The reputation specifies unusual abilities or traits they may possess,
    which affect their behaviour.
    
    - 50% of reputations are known when the prisoner arrives. The other 50%
      can be revealed through your informants.

    - All prisoners have a new "Character" tab in their rapsheet, which gives
      details on their reputation.
        - STRONG            hits harder with each punch during fights
        - TOUGH             can withstand a lot more punishment in a fight.
                            He can also sometimes withstand being hit by a
                            Tazer
        - VOLATILE          liable to kick off without warning and for no
                            reason
        - STOICAL           will not become suppressed when locked in
                            Solitary
        - SNITCH            a known informant, and as such his life may be
                            in danger. Don't leave him alone with other
                            prisoners for too long
        - DEADLY            a master in lethal combat moves, and can
                            sometimes kill with a single hit
        - EX LAW            was once a Police Officer, or some other law
                            enforcement profession. His life may be in
                            danger
        - COP KILLER        guilty of murdering a Police Officer. Your
                            prison guards may be unable to restrain
                            themselves when subduing him
        - FEARLESS          not intimidated by the sight of Armed Guards,
                            and is less likely to surrender during a fight
        - QUICK             an unusually fast runner
        - INSTIGATOR        sows seeds of discontent in all those nearby.
                            When he causes trouble, nearby prisoners will
                            feel compelled to do the same

    - In some cases, the prisoner will have a high degree of a reputation,
      eg "Extremely Strong" or "Extremely Volatile".
    
    - In a very small number of cases, you will receive a LEGENDARY PRISONER. 
      These guys have a potent mix of the above list that makes them very
      dangerous.
       
       
= New Prisoner Categories
    To help deal with the new troublesome prisoners, two new categories of
    prisoner have been created.

    Prisoners must be manually assigned to these categories.

    These new categories have a corrisponding new Zone in the Deployment
    screen, and a new Regime column.
    
    - Protective Custody
        Useful for hiding your snitches, ex law enforcement etc in a safe
        zone where they cannot be attacked
        Nb. Informants sent to protective custody lose coverage quickly (out
            of the loop)
        Nb. During riot conditions, some of your most dangerous prisoners may
            attempt to attack the protective custody wing
        
    - SuperMax
        If you simply cannot control a particular prisoner, move him to
        supermax.
        Allows you to segregate them away and instigate strong lockdown and
        security measures
 
 
= Escape Tunnels Overhall
    Escape Tunnels have been rebalanced, and are now viable once again
    Prisoners in neighbouring cells will team up to try to dig a combined
    escape tunnel.
    They can share any tools they have during the operation
    Many weapons can now also be used as digging tools, eg Knifes, Forks etc
    Guard dogs are now more reliable at discovering tunnels, and will mark
    the suspected spot with a small flag.
    Searching a cell now has only a low chance to discover an escape tunnel,
    UNLESS the prisoner is digging it when the guard enters!
    To discover a tunnel for certain, dismantle the toilets in the cells you
    suspect.


= Confidential Informants (continued)
    - Any single informant now has a maximum coverage of 50% at the time he
      is hired
    - An informants coverage will slowly increase over time (beyond 50%), so
      long as his suspicion is low and he is not 'active'
    - The Informants overlay now shows the highest level of suspicion ever
      reached by an informant, as a black line.
    - You can now highlight and select prisoners and staff etc in the
      Informants window
    - Informants now reveal Assassination Targets - ie prisoners who will be
      attacked if left alone for too long
        This is shown as a red crosshair over the prisoner.
        (Known informants / Snitches, ex law enforcement etc)
          
            
= Game Balance changes
    - Prisoners responsible for a serious injury will have their category
      automatically increased (min-sec to medium, medium to max-sec)

    - Prisoners responsible for a murder will be charged and given an
      additional 25 year sentence, and will automatically reclassify as
      Maximum Security (if they weren't already)

    - The 'temperature' of your prison must now be at least 33% before a riot
      can start

    - 10 Prisoners must be rioting before a prison-wide RIOT status can
      occur. To stop the riot, you must reduce the number of rioting
      prisoners to 3 or less.

    - Tazer Training Program
        All regular guards must now pass the Tazer Certification Program
        before they are permitted to use a tazer.
        This takes place in the classroom and is led by the Chief.
        The staff window now shows which guards have body armour and tazers.
            Nb. When loading an alpha 24 save, all Tazers owned by regular
                Guards and Dog Handlers will be confiscated, and a refund
                given.
            Nb. Dog Handlers can no longer carry Tazers.

    - Prisoners can now pick up weapons from their current room during
      fights, escapes, riots etc. (Based on what is available as contraband)
    - The Morgue is now a source of Knifes and Scissors
    - Prisoners can now improvise a Shank in the Workshop
    - Prisoners can now improvise a Baton in the Cleaning Cupboard (by
      snapping mops)
    - Prisoners can now improvise a wooden pickaxe in the Workshop (for
      digging tunnels)
                

= Mod System Continued
    - Now supports multiple active mods at once, even if those mods all add
      their own new graphics
    - New property to set material auto-consumed on job
    - Can now auto-order raw materials
            
    - NEW SCRIPT COMMANDS:
        GetNearbyObjects            - Get a list of all nearby objects of a
                                      certain type
        NavigateTo                  - Instruct an entity to go somewhere
        ClearRouting                - Clear an entity's destination
        
    - Panic Button mod
        A new 'official' test mod that adds a Panic Button to the game, using
        the new script commands.  Injured staff members will run to it and
        press it, and guards will be summoned to the area.

            
- Fixed : You can no longer place Foundations that you cannot afford

- 'Unlimited Funds' option in 'New Prison' screen. 
    Spend as much money as you like while building your prison - a more pure
    sandbox mode.

- Prisoners will now be assigned to Rehab programs more reliably, when
  addicted/alcoholic/withdrawn
