Not like, functionally, I get that, but like am I supposed to deliberately and drastically overstaff so I can rotate people in and out of training? Hell, how much should I be overstaffing in general to cover people on breaks? I don't overstaff to cover breaks, but I do use disposable cheap people to fill in while I'm training people, then fire them once I have a decent roster. less than three fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Aug 31, 2018 |

Yeah in later levels (Mitton onwards) I leave space for at least 4 GPs next to each other. Tumble I ended up having 6.

I've just made it to the research hospital, so I'm talking about things like training, research, etc. I wanna go back to previous hospitals to minmax more.

Save money and space by not building treatment rooms until you're sure you'll need them. Not all illnesses show up on all maps. Clowns don't show up in many hospitals, and Smogley doesn't get any Pharmacy patients for example.

I've been starting hospitals with a GP, Psychiatry and X-ray. If you don't have the X-ray, use something like Fluid Analysis or Cardio.

The Kins posted:I haven't reached it yet, but apparently one of the later levels is a public hospital where you have a set annual budget and don't get any money for curing people, for a unique challenge. I just got to that one. Despite breezing through all the previous hospitals, I barely made it to one star there before running dry on cash. I'm probably going to have to restart, keeping costs under control is really important. Promoting all your staff as soon as they're ready is a good way to slowly boil yourself without realising before it's too late. It did stick out to me that I ended up naturally having a lower bar for their comforts and settling for 'good enough' because there's no cash at the end of the treatment. Seeing a bad, cheap GP three times is more cost efficient than paying an expensive one for the same outcome! When you're handing out Cheesy Gubbins for free you're not going to litter the place with vending machines. Plants need water, janitors cost money!

Tunzie posted:Not with GP rooms, but I've been getting gummed up Fracture Wards where patients stop moving through the process and gum everyone up at the Plaster Caster. Maybe I'm making the rooms too cramped, but it's happened in a couple of my hospitals. Same temp fix, though - edit the room to boot them out. Yeah Fracture Ward seemed bugged, they all get stuck there and the nurses just wander around doing nothing. I'm going to try a larger room on my next hospital because yeah I'm cramming them in there as well. DreamShipWrecked posted:It's been hinted at already in the thread but when is the game supposed to get, yknow, challenging? I'm all the way to the fourth hospital where I am being taught to train workers and I feel like I'm breezing through the entire thing without a look back. It's actually kind of boring, like as if Prison Architect was full of white collar prisoners.

explosivo posted:I'm actually a little worried because I may have broken things at Flemington. I'm at the last objective to get 3* where I need to raise hospital value, yet it keeps fluctuating. I was close to 4.5 mil once, but it's down to ~3 and doesn't move a lot. I have THIRTEEN GP's offices and they all still have massive queues. I'm just about out of space too so I'm not entirely sure how to get out of this one with 3*. The biggest factor in hospital value is monthly profit. Looking at my Flemington hospital, hospital value is 60% monthly profit, 20% cash on hand, 10% building value. Try raising all your prices, or making more money!

Aside from an initial doctor to get off the ground, all my GPs start as students with a blank training slate so I can give them 4x GP and a Motivation. I do that for most staff really. I'd rather train up from student and get the exact skills I want instead of hiring a more experienced staff member that isn't as specialised. Have two training rooms from the start and always have classes running. less than three fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Sep 3, 2018 |

Red Mike posted:Game design-wise that's probably not a good idea if people figure it out, because they'll spend a load of time idling and getting all the unlocks before progressing. Meh I do this with Mitton. Unlocking a new room and both upgrades takes maybe 10 minutes with a few researchers working. However the rooms aren't available for research until you unlock the level they're available in, so you can't research everything early. Once a room is available I head back to Mitton for a few minutes instead of building/training research in the other hospitals.

DreamShipWrecked posted:It's kind of stupid but I wish that diseases didn't fully manifest until they were actually diagnosed. It is a bit frustrating to see people lining up for a diagnosis and tests when some of them have LIGHTBULBS for HEADS. I like to imagine there's variations of the disease, for example the doctor needs to figure out what wattage they are.

Mazz posted:Game is fun but a slider to change the send to treatment to like 97% instead of 100% would be pretty nice. It appears anything over 90% will get sent for treatment, not further diagnosis. I just went and looked for an example in my hospital.  This patient went into the GP with diagnosis progress around 50%. After the GP visit, they went up to 94% and are proceeding to treatment. I can find patients going for treatment at 90% and higher, but none lower.

In my opinion, for your GPs it's better to wait around to find newbies with zero trained slots (So you can train them in straight GP) even if it means being overwhelmed at first. Don't settle for more experienced but non-optimal skills.

Another way to rake in cash from the Lord is hospital attractiveness. My hospital was at 58/59% attractiveness, which seems to trigger a request to get it up to 60%. I'd plop three or four plants to get the $50-70k, then delete the plants. A few minutes later it'd check again and see the 58/59 and offer me the quest to get it up to 60 again, repeat as needed. I ended three-star Duckworth with millions in the bank.

The next patch lets you customise outfits for your staff which I didn't realise how much I wanted until now.  Playing dress-up aside, it will be nice to be able to visually distinguish between say my GPs and my treatment doctors by using different uniforms.

 Patch 1.06 is now available through the Beta branch. In addition to employee dress-up they've made changes to the patient AI, queuing and some of those other dumb problems so you should probably do it!1. Right-click Two Point Hospital in your game library and select Properties. 2. Select the BETAS tab. 3. Choose twopointhospital_patch_beta from the drop-down menu. quote:Character customisation - you can now change the colour of outfits for nurses, assistants, janitors and doctors. To do this select a character and click on the clothes hanger icon on their UI.
