How to change the main floor appearance?

[Dukhat]

You can edit rooms and change the floors & walls in them which is pretty cool,
but I don't seem to find an option for the ground on which nothing has been built yet.

The main floor.

I'd really like for this to be a feature too.

Being able to change the default corridor tiles would be good..
Being able to change the corridor walls would be great..
But being able to change individual tiles and walls would be awesome!

+1 to custom corridor walls and tiles

as for individual tiles... maybe check the workshop or make your own carpets? with clever size and positioning it may do what you need done :)

I'd very much like to change the main floor texture! Also rooms' outer walls -- current workshop content helps a lot with color-coding, but including the outer walls would be even better.

It is not implemented well however, the workshop.

All walls have this horizontal stripe/bar in the middle, and content from the workshop does NOT take that into account, and the part below the bar will always be darker and if it's a single color you can often spot the bar (shadow) or whatever it is that goes through the middle of each section of wall (horizontally), the workshop was unprofessionally implemented.

Not a bad idea for a temporary solution...
However, for me it would get really annoying pretty quick though, I have a hard enough time trying to pick up doctors in the hallway with out the whole floor being covered in rugs ^^;

Also, if I did want to place an actual rug later.. or (probably more likely) if I wanted to move rooms around, I'd have to remove all the little rugs first..

Still.. I might look into it..

Edit/Addendum:
At the middle school I used to go to, the walls had 3 colored stripes on them, one for each grade. If you needed to find where your classes were, you just had to follow your stripe to get to the right area.

It would be really cool if I could do that in TPH, to paint colored striped on the wall to "direct" patients to the correct location. (This would probably be done by placing individual wall papers)
Would it have an in game benefit? No..
Would it actually direct the patients? No..
But it would make me happier, and keep me playing longer if I could color code everything.

And the longer I play, the more likely I am to buy some DLC.. just saying, lol

About the color coded rooms... it's a nice idea!

Reminds me of an older thread where someone discussed outer room walls customization instead of just inner walls... it even mentioned pros and cons of doing this tied to individual rooms or room types vs. unified for the whole corridor


ps: There is already a workshop bundle of rugs for color coded paths you might enjoy for now

There might also be some posters to the same effect... though I know you are talking about color bands going floor-to-roof, not just a short rectangle on the wall, placing a single-colored custom poster right beside the entrance doors might partially achieve the desired effect.

Things like wallpapers and different carpet patterns to spruce up the staff rooms would be neat. Just as something to mess around with once you've got everything running smoothly.

We've currently got that for inside rooms, including the staffroom (in a room's panel it's the Customize button in the bottom row, can also make your own or check out other players' contributions in the Workshop, links below). But we can't customize outer walls and the main hospital floor yet. Hoping we can encourage the devs to implement that!

I find that without the capability to do it to the rest of the hospital as well, that that is pointless.

I very much appreciate and enjoy the later-implemented in-room customization options, but would also find it helpful to customize the hospital's main floor and rooms' outer walls.

Oh, I neglected the room customization options. Too busy fine-tuning everything to take note of it.

Do the workshop items disable achievements?

[Marlock]

Nope, these are merely cosmetic, so achievements work normally.

(and it's not a competitive online multiplayer game, so it has no need for patrolling against customizations)

Keeping in mind that "merely cosmetic" has the effect of "Increases Hospital Attractiveness" which can affect gameplay significantly (staff happiness buff & hospital reputation, off the top of my head).

Yes, custom rugs, posters and etc do have that effect, but AFAIK it is similar to the effect of items normally available in the game.

I didn't mean to say the items did nothing, I only meant to say they didn't do anything new or extraordinary. No game-changers.

You, currently, can't change corridor floors and walls. It may be possible in the future.

Any change on this subject yet? Thanks.
