...THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR :)
I'm bored and am pooped out rebuilding my 64x64 hospital into the 96x96 map. Prefabbing saves lives people, albeit it is tiring as heck, but not as tiring as asking the same question many before you have asked and much more have answered
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANYHOO, THIS IS THE FAQ Thread as of the game's release version. I'm doing this cause mainly I'm bored and yeah, doing a little to help out the lost and curious.
1.) SCREEN ROTATION????
-The Devs are working on it, stop asking about it. We all know seeing and picking up items is hard when everything in starting to block everything. We know it, the devs know it. Right now you're best friends are the transparency and zoom buttons.
2) THE COLORS
Red: Unplaceable
Yellow: Placeable, but not usable. Move it to another place so it's functional
Green: A Staff is using the item. Want to move it but can't shoo off the npc using it? Remove department then resume the game, the staff will automatically stop using the item. Move/sell/select the item then "Re-departamentalize" the room.
Blue: As yes, the color blue--sometimes it's the color of your loved one's eye, sometimes it's the sky, but often times it's why the room won't complete *annoyed*. Blue means that the items you're trying to place goes hand in hand with another item. If you're placing item A, item B has to go with it.
But how do you know what item B is for item A? The answer is simple, when you select item A, all the items its partnered with will light up blue. However, Blue items sharing a room isn't enough. Blue items usually have a specific place/position relative to their partnered item's position. But how do you know what the correct position/placement is? The answer to that is simple, say you place item A and you know it has an item B cause item B lit up blue like it's papa smurf. When placing said item B, if you play around with its position around item A, it's gonna light up blue when it's on the correct position relative to item A.
TLDR: If Blue item becomes Blue--It's partnered with it's partner item in the right position. If it just shows it's normal color and you know it's a blue item, it means that you're not on the right area.
A good example for this is the computer. It's not usable without a chair/stool IN FRONT of it.
Another is the Operating Table which has about 4-5 partnered items that go around it in specific places.
3) HOSPITALIZATION
Hospitalization are in-patients or ward patients. This is how you can get overnight patients. In the game, Hospitalization go hand in hand with night shifts. Can't have Hospitalization without night shifts and night shifts are useless without hospitalization.
How do I enable Hospitalization?
In manager mode, you're probably almsot always looking at the left side of your screen which features the "Clinic" side of the departments. If you look at the right side, you'll see HOSPITALIZATION. Now depending on how much you've progressed in your Insurance objectives, you might not see anything under "Rooms" tab of HOSPITALIZATION, if that is the case then keep progressing through your Insurance objectives.
If you however see rooms, congratulations, you can now enable Hospitalization. Enabling Hospitalization entails you the build ALL ROOMS THAT HAS ITS NUMBER AS RED listed under Hospitalization's tab. I repeat the room count number has to be the one that's red, not the red or "staff only" rooms. It'll take a crapton of money so either loan it or earn it or cheat or whatever.
Once you have build all the rooms in hospitalization, you have to staff them according to how much is listed on both Day shift and night shifts.
Once you've met the prerequisites, you'll get a pop up saying Hospitaliation is now allowed or something along those lines.
4) NIGHT SHIFT
Night Shifts require On-call rooms for the doctors, and Nurse's stations for the nurses. They'll be found and be buildable once you can enable Hospitalization.
Night shift doctors cannot be assigned to the Outpatient clinics. So if you're trying to assign them to a workstation and you see the null sign, it means that workstation is only for the day shift and is probably an outpatient room.
5) CHANGING STAFF DEPARTMENTS
I've answered this before on a thread here, but basically this:
If you want to change a department, you can look for the "Assign workplace" (looks like a computer) button on the staff's char sheet. Once you clicked that, choose an open workplace in the department you want to transfer that staff to and that should do it.
Double check if the department icon next to the staff name has changed into the department you want to transfer it to. If it did, congrats you did it.
(NOTE: I don't know if there are other ways to transfer staff between departments, but this is the one I did and have been successful so far in doing)
6) DO I REALLY HAVE TO BUILD ROOM X FOR EACH DEPARTMENT????
a. NO!!! If you're trying to build a new department, check which of the room number counts are RED. Those are the only ones you have to build to unlock that department. If the number is GREEN, chances are you already have a room of that kind in another department, so no need to build that.
b. RECPETION DESK AND CLEANING CLOSET ARE SHAREABLE-ish. You only need 1 reception desk and it's for your ER since it's the reception that triages patients. Triage means sorting service order by priority or gravity of injury.
Cleaning closet staff tend to just clean and clean and clean just sweeping all the mess wherever or whatever department they are in.
c. The Devs said they're gonna patch in shareable rooms soon. Which means, Amy from Surgery will have to share a sofa with that five hearts Jessica from Ortho soon.
7. MOD & WORKSHOPS
Devs said they're working on fixing the bugs first.
8. ITS ASKING ME TO TREAT 40 PATIENTS, BUT THEY'RE ONLY GIVING ME 30
You need to unlock more insurance companies which means you're gonna have to open up some other departments. Take out a loan of 100k, it should be enough for a whole department.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah that's the FAQ that nobody asked for. Hopefully some of you guys who read this will find some help in this mess of text.
If Anybody has to add or correct me in some things, please do :D
