Basically, I have several helipads, four, one for visitor and prisoner transfer, one for exports, one for deliveries, one for trash, whatever.


Eitherhow, the helicopters just randomly bricked themselves and my prison is ruined. There are 3/4 "visitor helicopters" constantly buzzing by my prison, and I'm not allowed to remove or move the pads, toggling their logistical options has 0 effect.

Bear in mind, these helipads worked fine for like an hour of gameplay.

I had the same problem -- none of the helicopters were landing on the helipads. There are several points in Logistics where you have to configure this. You must assign your helipads explicitly to the Deliveries area, as well as the Export Area etc. The configuration is lost, when you resize or change any of those rooms. Re-apply the configuration again and it should work.

Can't-do! I messed with their configurations on a constant basis trying desperately to force those civvie helis to land. Tried toggling what they can and can't be used for in preferences, tried clearing and reconnecting them to deliveries, etc.

I did exactly what you said at some point.

I had to assign every single helipad to the export / garbage / delivery zone actually and it should look like this -- just making sure, we talk about the same thing. :)

Everything is linked to everything else that can be linked, also it's an island prison.

I tried tampering with the save file to turn one of my random boxes in storage into a boat dock, to my surprise when they constructed it, it just immediately summoned a visitor ferry that kept constantly leaving similar to the helicopters, agh.

Bump. Boat docks and helipads are utterly bricked and useless on Island Bound after a certain point. http s : // gyazo . com/f87c5d7d6497597a78ced7fbe641b579 Infinite visitor boats/helis are being spawned leaving me unable to receive materials to build, supplies, or even visitors lol.

Can now also add to this with same symptoms.


Weirdly the last thing that seemed to happen before the boats and helicopters went mad was an infinite parole loop around the same time as buying land expansion. A prisoner was released early, seemed to be trying to get on a boat that was in the process of leaving and kept boarding and being thrown off it. Amusingly I kept getting the $1000 parole fee constantly every few seconds until manually dismissing the boat but since then it pretty much knackered boats and helicopters.

...on the plus side I was now $4m up to be able to ditch the broken save file!

Is it possible that land expansion with islands somehow breaks the logistics?

Not sure; is there another way of reaching out to them other than this forum?

Please wait until they can respond; note that due to PDXcon there may be some delays!
