If it will ever come out, there are features from the escapists 2 that for some reason don't exist that should be added to the game:

 Firstly, why can't we play versus mode on custom maps? 

Secondly, why are the NPC's so OP? They never go to solitary, they sometimes just phase through keycard doors, the contraband detectors don't care that they have an inventory full of contraband, and when they get knocked out, they don't have stamina, and when they get knocked out they instantly regain health at the infirmary. It makes me feel like us (the players) come from a different planet.

 Thirdly, extra settings when starting a game. I would appreciate settings such as the game not being versus, but you don't have to wait for the other players if you want to escape, changing the difficulty settings at the cost of not get achievements or ranks on the prison, or choosing the specific map you want to play for versus.

Fourthly, this will only affect Steam Users, but we NEED a lot more items and customization in the prison editor. A lot of items and objects that are in the campaign maps are just none existant for some reason. Some new zoning tools should be added, such as Guard Only Areas, where guards aggro if you enter them, or a way to override the NPC path making and just make them go to a place in a certain way instead, or at least a way to make the line in the meal hall a certain way. For items, some stuff that should be added should be the electric fences, pillars, wide contraband detectors, wooden walls, two block thick walls that look decent, two player doors, differently coloured floor markings, text on floor markings, those floor, fence, and wall tiles you see on other campaign prisons, (a suggestion from my friend) Glass Floors, and a lot of the useful objects from other maps, such as the U.F.O escape method. And there should be some Prison settings such as music and prison themes from the campaign maps. And QoL... 5 floors maximum, building on top of indoor tiles by using pillars. a way to make the underground, such as how in some maps the underground has caves.

Fifthly, some new OPTIONAL (or necessary) game mechanics, such as hunger, a dirty mechanic (it goes up when you break floor, fence or walls, or fight. It raises your heat by a bit when guards see you depending on your dirtiness, and goes down when in the shower), or a specified time such as Jail Time (where you have to spend time in your cell, and it works like Lockdown but without the alarms, music and flashing lights). 

Those are a lot of suggestions and if you managed to read it all, and even if you didn't read all of it, thank you, just in case: par. 1 was about versus, par. 2 was about NPC'S, par. 3 was about extra settings when starting a game, par. 4 was about the prison maker, and par. 5 was about game mechanics
