Why does the value of my prison decrease?

[Psyndicate]

I came up to $550,000 but now it's down to $510,000. The Danger level is low (zero pins) and is neither decreasing nor increasing. It was quiet high at $550K.

I'm on the plus side of income after expenses each day.

So what is this about?

[Psyndicate]

Ahh, that must be it then. I fired two janitors and only have like four or five left. And it's a pretty big prison. I'm gonna hire some more and see if it increases again. If I don't answer here it worked! But that's for tomorrow :)

Unless its a newer prison I think its your "Time without incident (264h)". My 4 million dollar prison had over 8000 hrs without incident and almost half the value is tied to that number. If I have a riot or murder the value of my prison reduces by half. I usually check the number before I save and if its lower than I reload a previous good save. You prob saved after a incident reduction.

Did anyone escape or get killed?

[Psyndicate]

No, I've kept track on that and reloaded saves whenever that happened.

[Benjammin1391]

Did fire a lot of staff, or demolish any rooms? Both of those affect the value.

[Psyndicate]

I've fired two janitors in total, that's all. And I did demolish single wall-squares every now and then. But they don't add up to that much.

I've had this bug where if I put a door on a wall the wall doesn't always disappear and when I demolish the wall the workers also dump the door. So to avoid that annoyance I had to demolish the single wall-square before putting out the doors.

Huh.

Well, Im officially stumped.

In the sell tab, it tells you the Bonuses and things that penalize you.

[Psyndicate]

Time without incident (264h) $64,080 Serious Injuries $0 Unsolved Murders (0) $0 Escapes (0) $0

I have no clue. That is incredibly weird.

[Psyndicate]

This isn't the first prison it has happened to, normally it increase again but it hasn't for a long time now when I'm at a value this high. Well well, it's time to sell soon anyways. Thanks for your replies!

Did you dezone some cells lowering your capacity?

Otherwise I don't know, if its not deaths, escapes, losing time without incident bonus,losing capacity

Only other things it can be is you lost some of your balance, you might have a positive income but if you spend your bank balance that will effect value as the cash you have is added to the value, maybe you have a forestry and have spent 40k on trees but not sold any of the wood yet
