With its current 7375 mods in Steam Workshop, Prison Architect certainly has a lot of fan based manpower dedicated on moving the game forward. We’ve picked the currently most popular mods as well as a few prison samples built by fans that ought give you an idea of the scale of the game.
This is a texture mod that changes everything to a Fallout vault theme.
Ironfort, 500 cells, high income
High security prison with no escapes or riots so far. Protected custody prisoners and supermax prisoners have their own cellblock with everything they need and higher protection. With 4 good running workshops the prison has a high income and makes very fast money. The prison can be mirrored to the top or bottom and expanded to 1000 cells.
Why use this? Because it allows you to deliver food to inmates who pose a risk to themselves or others, without them interacting with staff or other prisoners. Allows meal delivery to individual cells by placing the Meal Table object in a room. Must be researched and guards must be trained in safe meal handling.
Extremely heavy door to close off sections of your prison.
The Prison Architect Winter Theme Pack is a visual modification to the game that gives it a cold winter theme. Many tiles, objects, and staff members have been edited to reflect the season of winter. Additionally, some new materials and objects have been added in, and some sound edits have been made.
An example of a huge prison built by BakedBunney. “The Prison is actually in positive cash flow, but I had the Meals all on High, plus I think I had a poor export day when I took the screen shots.”
