Vitals monitor

[TC]

Is vitals monitor 1 needed for every bed, or Kan you use one for multiple adjecent beds?

The vitals monitor affects every bed in the 8 adjacent tiles. Including diagonal tiles.

In practice, it’s kind of ugly and awkward to do that. I personally set it up as one vitals monitor per pair of beds, with the monitor at the foot and an end table at the head.

It can affect every bed directly beside it in all 8 directions.

I use 1 monitor per 4 beds with the monitor in the middle and the heads of the beds in each corner tile. Then put an end table between the heads of the beds. Like so:

BHEHB
XXMXX
BHEHB

BH/HB=bed where H is the head, E=end table, X=empty space, M=monitor

You can then place a multitude of these next to each other:

BHEHB
XXMXX
BHEHB
BHEHB
XXMXX
BHEHB
BHEHB
XXMXX
BHEHB

I understand my situation is not the best:

BH----BH
M-------M
BH----BH
BH----BH
M-------M
BH----BH
BH----BH
M-------M
...... Etc


Good for 26 beds with a asile in between and meds between spaces. In a full crisis like a big flu pandamic (mod) or heavy sieges it will be a improvement then what I did before (12beds)

Some I'm happy :)

That's true. But it's not something I can pull off in my current base design. To much rooms adjecent to the hospital :/

I do this, but with 2 setups...so 16 beds. I usually have between 10-20 colonists.



I also add CRT TV so that all people sleeping in beds can watch TV. (the viewing square that shows where the viewing is active, fits right on top of all 8 beds).

And then add in sofas, flower pots, statues, etc to make the place better. However, I didn't think about end tables. I'll have to see if I can re-arrange and get that in.

The advantage of pushing all the beds together is that you reduce the outlay and the power cost. But that doesn't mean it's "efficient," just that it's cheap.

It depends on your goal. My goal is to keep my patients as happy and healthy as possible. So, for example, I want all beds to get the comfort bonus from an end table. You can't fit headboards into an 8-beds-per-monitor layout. 4 per monitor is probably the limit if they have end tables.

I'll go one further. My prison cells are all private hospital rooms, one vitals monitor per bed. Because prisoners are always, always in bad shape when they come in. When they recover, I want one prisoner per room so they don't break out together.
