Since version The Sneezer, the Clone tool have been significantly improved and supports cloning much bigger areas. Foundations will also be cloned when cloning an indoor area to an outdoor area. Utilities will not be cloned.

Tips And Tricks[]

  • A good use for this is to clone Cells.
  • If you're using the Clone tool to clone cells, it's recommended to place all utilities first, as workers will be greatly slowed by trying to maneuver around jail doors and walls to place the utilities afterwards.

Triva[]

  • Before Version 1.4, cloning had to be researched under maintenance before it could be used.
