I see I'm not the only one to figure out that training staff is a LOT more important than it first looks. Having GP specialists is absolutely vital for getting out of queue hell, as well as spreading around specialist skills like genetics and psychiatry so you're not reliant on one person, but I find it helps to train staff as either uber-generalists or specialists. Ward nurses especially, since you can breeze through emergencies with an efficient Ward. The best time to start training is at the very start of a mission, where your staff are going to be spending a fair amount of time wandering around idle because you don't have many patients yet.

Decorating your hospital seems to get less repetitive after you unlock more objects. I'm betting paintings add a lot more beauty than posters.

I do like that you unlock the harder levels two at a time, so if you find yourself in a losing spiral in one you can go try the other.

Decentralised reception is how I've been doing it and the reason why you can build single reception desks as well as rooms. What's a good way to increase hospital value once you've run out of floor space? Trying to 3-star the first mission.

Most of the early levels have a very limited disease list in general. Good idea to research in them while the pressure's off.

The game definitely needs a diminishing returns system for duplicate items. Weigh it differently for stuff like server racks if it makes sense to. Though a lot of rooms do end up looking similar when you plop down the same selection of items, it feels punishing and unintuitive.

If anything, it seems like boosting your reputation too much may have its downsides as you end up attracting way more patients than you can deal with.

Feels like with some later scenarios going back to three-star them makes it seem way easier to just restart them from scratch because I completely forgot where I left off and I know what I'm doing now.

It really is nice that you can uproot rooms entirely and move them wherever. Makes reorganising your hospital so much easier. I feel it might be a good idea to have GP offices near all entrances and diagnosis rooms nearby, with treatment rooms in the wings. Wards somewhere in between, since they do both. If you have a cafe, best put it as centrally as you can. And maybe a dedicated wing for the staff room, training and research out of the way.

While I refuse to do ridiculous medicine cabinet tricks, GP Offices really need a way to be upgraded.

Also would be nice if patients with under 10% health wouldn't immediately wander off to the other end of the hospital from their lifesaving treatment. I keep having some issues where patients are waiting by a ward bed for ages while the nurses wander around ignoring them, until I pick up and replace the beds.

They really do need to do something about the pathfinding and patient priorities, because as it stands it makes the ideal setup, or even one that won't result in a huge mess of dying patients, very unintuitive and makes a lot of trap options.

Dunno-Lars posted:You can fix that with enough medicine cabinets. You're stuck til you get a new machine and upgrade it I presume. Would be nice if more advanced rooms had more fitting room accessories as a more interesting alternative to certificate spam. Maintenance equipment, blueprints and informational posters for heavy machinery? The research and surgery rooms have some nice bonus stuff, and the clown treatment room.

I just build up to three classrooms and have them going pretty much all the time. Apparently, the nurse's skill doesn't matter at all in surgery, they just gotta be there.

I get the impression it's a good idea to have as wide a variety of diagnosis rooms as possible, though I'm not sure why. I usually fit fluid analysis into 3x3, but depends on the map.

Seems like if you're going to have X-Rays you might as well also have a Mega Scan given the skill overlap. Also, bringing up the Medicine Cabinet exploit to a friend who hasn't played the game. Their response: '...you've never seen the storage room in an old-timey doctor's office.'

I never found staff morale too hard to raise over time, though keep in mind Rotting Hill has a scenario-specific penalty to Happiness because it just sucks that much. A lategame break room has all kinds of cool poo poo. Bean bags, a mini gym, the fanciest snack vending machines, carpets, arcade sanic, etc etc. (does help to make em bigger to fit all that stuff) Put a staff-only toilet nearby.

Janitors can work with pretty much anything, though when you're doing later tier upgrades in a busy hospital you want at LEAST Mechanics II otherwise it'll take forever and a day.

A few of the specialised treatment rooms have their own unique decorative items, make sure to scroll down. They should add more in patches or expansions. It's especially hilarious because the Clown Clinic is dressed up as a circus to lure in clowns before subjecting them to an Orb Foundation patented brainwashing device.

IIRC a dead patient would either fly up to heaven as an angel or the devil would show up and open a hole to Hell in your floor that they'd fall into.

Having staff with the training skills early on really pays off, especially if they have the Teacher quality.You save a lot of time and money doing in-house training.
