How To Sell License Plates In Prison Architect

If you’ve set up a workshop in Prison Architect and started producing license plates, the next step is learning how to sell them for profit. This guide walks you through the process of creating an export room and managing your license plate sales efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before you can sell license plates, you’ll need to have already built a workshop that is actively producing license plates.

Building an Export Room

Accessing the Rooms Menu

To sell your license plates, you need to build an export room. Start by accessing the rooms menu located in the bottom left of your screen.

Creating the Export Room

Click on the rooms option and type “export” into the search field. Once you find the export room option, designate an area in your prison to serve as your export room. This can be combined with your delivery room if space is limited.

How License Plate Sales Work

Automatic Delivery Process

Once you’ve designated your export room, the license plates produced in your workshop will automatically be delivered there. A truck will periodically arrive at your export room, load the license plates onto its cargo, and then sell them for you.

Managing AI Hoarding Behavior

Don’t be alarmed if you notice that license plates aren’t immediately appearing in your export room. The game’s AI has a tendency to hoard license plates before delivering them. The AI will accumulate a certain quantity before deciding to transport them to the export room. Once they’ve gathered enough plates, they will deliver them to the export room, and the truck will then collect and sell them.

Summary

Selling license plates in Prison Architect is straightforward once you have your workflow set up. Build an export room, let your workshop produce the plates, and allow the AI to gather and deliver them. A truck will arrive to pick up the plates and complete the sale. Be patient with the AI’s hoarding behavior—it’s normal and part of the game mechanics. That’s all there is to selling license plates and generating additional revenue for your prison!
