X Ray Room Difficulties

[Sensational TKO]

I built an x ray room. But was unable to staff it. Messed around with it for awhile. Managed to get staff into it. Then it told me there was no waiting room for it. This led to every single patient being kicked out of the clinic when I tried to put 2 waiting rooms side by side.

Reloaded it. Removed the x ray room so as to put it back in again. But no x ray room available to put in.

I have no idea what was going on. So I sacked everyone and closed the clinic.

My guess is that perhaps you built it during the night? I am not 100% sure but perhaps you weren't able to get it staffed during the night so that is why you were unable to hire someone for it.

As for the waiting room, just place one similar to how you do it at the doctor offices... As for it not being available again after you removed it... guessing its a bug.

Well the x ray room had everything it needed. But there was no little blank card for hiring someone for it. And when I went to hire staff the other way none of the available techs were for radiology.

The problem started when after building the x ray room it said 'there are no waiting rooms for this room'. I actually had staff for it then. So instead of building a whole new area for it I decided to turn the main waiting toom into 2 waiting rooms (pointless to have to do that but i could find no other way). So I deleted the waiting room and put 2 in its place.

Then I got constant warnings that there was no waiting rooms for any of the rooms at all. And everyone got sent home. There was no way I could find to stop that from happening. Reloaded it.
But couldnt figure out if how to place an x ray room even tho it was telling me it wanted me to build an x ray room. Because there was no way to do it any more.

Make sure the 2 waiting rooms both have an info screen and a queue checker. The one waiting room that has an error prolly doesn't have one. This constantly happens to me as well when I split a big waiting room into two

When building your new waiting rooms did you ensure that you was building a waiting room for the correct dept? ie for the Xray waiting room, you needed to have Xray dept selected, then click the waiting room icon under xray dept.

No I haven't done the campaign that deals with deparments yet. Cos that seemed to have bugged out.

I would recomend to edit rooms when it's empty, if patients are currently in and you remove the room, the AI may get confused and rather to leave ... about the x-ray room, did you have enough money to built it again, or I'm not exactly sure what prevents you to do it again ... ?

I think i was getting confused with the department selector on the bottom left corner. I hadn't noticed that before (I hadnt finished the campaign tutorial because I thought it was bugged out - it wasn't, it was just waiting for all the staff to be hired before moving on to the next bit. Others have had the same problem).

So now I know abt the diffrent departments, I think that might explain why the x-ray room was sometimes avalable an sometimes not (I was probably switching departments without knowing it). I have finished tutorial 3 now. And restarted my sandbox game. Atm I want to just have a small clinic with 2 or 3 doctors so won't be adding x ray yet. But when i do hopefully I will know what to do.

Ok, we're sorry for inconvenience, we'll try to improve the tutorial levels as much as we can ;)

[Sensational TKO]

No problem an thanx for the help

Improve the tutorial levels!? They need writing! Period! Tutorial 4 just said, get the hospital out of debt, didn't say or show you how. Tutorial 5 again just says rearrange and make money, doesn't show you how. They are more scenarios/challenges.

Does the x-ray have partnered blue items? I had the same problem with CAG, I had to rebuild it, at a massive cost, because the staff member had become stuck. When rebuilding it I couldn't staff it. Reading the FAQ the steam mod made I learned about blue items needing to be partnered with their needed items, and plonking them anywhere in the room didn't work. It was very finicky. When I finally got it right, I could staff it. So maybe it is something related to this?

I'm now in a situation with tutorial 5 that I have a queue for the x-ray, a room I've never messed with, and the tech in there is constantly idle. I've checked all work boxes for staff around the patients and no movement.

I fired the tech, got a new one, in case it was bugged, and now the tech is glitched so the new tech can't work there. I'm trying so hard with this game, but it's like it doesn't want to be played. I'm fighting with it at every turn. ><

If the room is blocked, you won't be able to hire staff.
When you zoned the radiology wating room did you put it on top of the emergency waiting room? Each department needs a separate waiting room

I have the same problem. I've build a second X-Ray room, but now the fist one isn't used anymore, since days. Instead of that the patients are piling up for examination.
The staff is just sitting in there, shown as "idle".
The X-Ray machine is green in building mode and I can't interact with it, even removing the room and staff didn't solve the issue.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Quick Update in case you encounter the same problem: Removing the room status in the managing mode, removing the staff AND waiting until midnight resolved the issue.
