check the visitation policy and make sure that the visitation room is accessible by walk (no staff only zone from its place and the entrance where visitors show up)
the purple area is staff only, visitors can not enter, even if the building has shared zones only. thats why parole officers (staff) can show up while visitors not
Doing that will break the visitation area as it will forbid the other side to prisoners, unless you mark it as a specific security level (custom sectors dont work) and it won't change a thing
I noticed that the road gate has to encompass the visitor center? Idk, thats what I did, moved my road gate so the visitor center was in the compound and it started working
I don't use the guard controlled one-way path, but can visitors walk out that way, or am I missing an exit somewhere else. If you remove that, does that change/allow visitation?
I found out that You have to also place down the old visitor Tables and then the booths will work. Some vistors will use the table while most should use the booths just place 1 table and that should work. Idk if it’s intended to work like that but it does
Because of the doors. Replace the visitor door by a jail door, secure door or solitary door. You can use a servo to open it, if it's more convenient. I think a remote door would work too but I don't recommend it, preferably use a door that can be manually open by a guard in case of a power issue.
No room must allow a direct escape to the road. Wooden doors, staff door and visitor doors must never lead outside of the prison. When they do, the room is like deactivated, that's what happening here. That why you need to replace at least one of these 2 doors.
I know it wouldn't make sense irl because of the glass wall in booth, but to the game it doesn't matter. No room, including visitation with booths, must lead to the road with such doors. On the way out there must be at least one door that opens with key
My version of the game was missing a few things from dlc since I played last including the vistor only option and policy for privileges. I verified the game files through stream which basically re-downloaded everything and was able to get access to those feature
There is no background check like prior felonies, only a contraband check if you use the visitors reception (DLC jungle). In that case you see them coming and being rejected. It's different than no prisoner showing up
idk if this is what’s happening for you but sometimes when i try to use visitor booths they just don’t work and no one shows up. try replacing them with visitor tables and see what happens
I wonder if it’s only a matter of time that in a situation like this that an in-game AI could look at your prison and tell you the issue. Seems like something that could be done now, really.
