Same problem here

Can we please get saved games showing this, and game log files to match? Thanks!
 
I have the same issue on a normal map (and without any DLC):

Here is my save file. Is the game log file in the same folder but under a different name?
The game log is here: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\debug.txt
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

Thank you all for the excellent files and shots. I've now lodged a new bug report on this, attaching all those files, and escalated it appropriately.

I don't know what immediate plans there are for patching, I'm sorry - business will only be starting to get back to normal this week, after the summer break.

Sorry for this problem!

Hello,

I bought the game today, and I think I have the same issue...
Can you check my game (see attached zip) ?

My workers can't finish any foundation. I can't build the kitchen! There are always 2 random red cases...

SOLVED, kind of. Thanks to an eagle-eyed Reddit user I realized there were building materials blocked off in the room at the top of the right cell-block. After deconstructing the wall, the workmen could access the materials and the foundations were built. So not really a bug then, I guess, but a result of the decision by Double Eleven to have building materials actually be delivered, instead of just appearing out of thin air.

Still a bit naffed about it, I didn't even know it worked that way until recently, so for someone who is a veteran in the game, it's very unintuitive (even if it "makes sense"). Back in the good old days, a video by the Introversion guys would have explained this new mechanic to me. I'm sure it was explained somewhere, but probably not good enough so long-time players actually realize the change.

Thanks for the update!

Can everyone else in this thread confirm this is the problem?
 
I also seem to have this problem. This is making the game highly unplayable, it's not even fun anymore. I've checked all routes etc, and I don't seem to have anything blocking my routes.
 
I'm not sure this "solution" will solve the problem.

I have no wall around my Storage and I can't build any fondation anymore. Every cases are red. Even quick build doesn't work.
Also, some stuff used by the workmen seem to be stuck at the bottom of the road. It's maybe a glitch, I dont know. I can even not click on them.

The game is totally unplayable for me. I dont want to make a now game if the problem is not fixed.

I'll send you my last save and a video of all these problems (later today). I hope this will help you to solve everything.

EDIT1:
Okay, here the video I made:


Please ignore the lag/FPS in the video, there was a problem with the record.

EDIT2:
And the part with the stuck blocks at the bottom of the map:


Please ignore the lag/FPS in the video, there was a problem with the record.

EDIT3:

My save is attached.

As mentioned above I have logged a bug on this and linked it to this thread. I'm not in the dev or patch release loop for this game.

I'll raise the issue with Paradox again tonight.

Ok AndrewT, thanks for your help.

FYI, I made a new game. And... same issue. After hours of game, suddently, I can't build a new room, I can't clone an existing room, and I can't even no build a shower!

I stop playing this game for now. As JoeBouncy said, the game is unplayable.

I found your (or rather the game's) issue, and it's definitely a bug this could happen. You have some building materials on the border of the map (see screenshots) which the workmen can't access and that you as the player can't even click on. So I cheated and added a bit of money, and bought the east and south plot expansions. Then your workmen could access those resources and did build foundations again.

So it's the same issue I had, inaccessible building materials. However, in your case, they should not have been on the border of the map, out of reach of you and your workmen. Probably a bug and/or design oversight that put them there.

I'll also stress again that Introversion probably had a good reason for building materials appearing out of thin air, maybe so stuff like this doesn't happen.
