How To Serve Low Quality Meals In Prison Architect

Managing meal quality is an important aspect of running an efficient prison in Prison Architect. Whether you’re looking to reduce costs or test your facility’s management skills, serving low quality meals is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to adjust your prison’s nutritional policy and implement low quality meal service.

Accessing the Reports Menu

To begin adjusting your meal quality settings, you’ll need to access the Reports section. Look to the bottom right of your screen and click on Reports.

Navigating to the Nutritional Policy

Once you’ve opened the Reports menu, select Policy from the available options. You’ll then need to scroll down through the policy list until you locate the Nutritional Policy section.

Understanding Meal Quality Settings

Within the Nutritional Policy, you’ll find two key settings that control meal quality:

Meal Quantity — This setting directly affects meal quality

Meal Variety — This also impacts the overall quality of meals served

Setting Low Quality Meals

To serve low quality meals in your prison, adjust both settings to their lowest values:

Set Meal Quantity to Low

Set Meal Variety to Low

Remember that meal quantity and meal quality are directly linked, so lowering the meal quantity will reduce your meal quality rating accordingly.

Summary

Serving low quality meals in Prison Architect is a simple process that requires only a few clicks. By navigating to Reports > Policy > Nutritional Policy and reducing both the Meal Quantity and Meal Variety settings to Low, you can quickly adjust your prison’s food service standards. This method is useful for managing operational costs or creating specific gameplay challenges within your facility.
