Expanding things to do in Perma-brig

I almost made a post about wanting a “perma-prisoner” option for a gimmick job or whatever but a post has already been made about it. One valid point it brings up is that it would require more to do/Perma-brig revamping. This thread is to list off ideas of expanding the things to do, beside growing food or beating your fellow inmates.

  • Treadmill/exercise bike
    Generates points for research servers, could be an alternative to get discovery points if needed and be ordered from cargo. You take stamina damage while riding it. Also if you get a set amount of points you could get a reward. Rewards can just consist of better food items, booze in waterbottles (so no shanks), or even randomly harmless seeds. They could be emagged to get more harm-based plants or other simple weapons as a reward.

  • Remote miners
    This would need a lot of work but I think it could be some kind of fun. This would pretty much be a way to control specialized mining drones/cyborgs that mines ore in the gulag area. You would be stuck with only a mining bag, mining drill, ore scanner, and a mason scanner. These specialized drone/cyborgs You won’t be able to move the drone/cyborg away from the gulag area, the river is good enough protection.

Some shifts when I was traitor I took the preemptive step of making a fake wall into the perma bathroom or something and leaving eva gear in there. Breaking out preemptively is far easier than after getting arrested.

I like NSV’s approach of stuffing every prisoner into one brig, opens up lots of prison RP between the “for life” prisoners and the newbies.

Agree, some stations have the perma brig expanded up to a point where they have that prisioner ‘‘job’’ as roundstart, considering we now have bigger sentences it would be nice to expand the perma brig to let them do more stuff so they don’t bore themselves to death, aditionally your suggestions are nice since they end up contributing to the station

Genpop is an interesting idea, there was a PR for it earlier this year that went stale. Requires a lot of remapping to make it work though.
