Prison Architect April 8 Update Brings Numerous Improvements

Prison Architect developer, Double Eleven, recently released an update that fixed tons of known issues. One such fix addressed the issue where the game crashes after clicking outside the map while selecting Gardener and Janitor.

In the Going Green DLC, one major problem was the displaying of incorrect prices for Seeds, Crops, and Fertilizers when purchased using the Cloning Tool. If you've updated the game, this issue should no longer persist.
