Pre-Fab vrs make your own rooms

[Aldur]

Do you all use Pre made rooms or make your own? Just curious if you have a preference

Own rooms 100%

The prefabs are nice to give you an idea for the general minimum but you'll sun into them causing more problem with your general layout then the time you save by using them is worth. Also, if I got 5 offices of the same type, I like them to look a bit different from each other, just not really possible with prefabs as building and afterwards redesigning them takes nearly as much time as doing it on your own right from the start ^^

own room but use rebuild washrooms and cleaning

Custom made rooms exclusively. I create most of them as custom pre-fab units to save time during building. But I go back and 'touch them up' (changing pictures, shuffling equipment around, decorating them differently).

own rooms all z way. by the way, man I hope we get televisions for patient rooms at some point.

I always make my own. Most of the time I don't even use the copy paste function but instead build them by hand entirely because of the way I furnish the rooms. Rather than finishing one room and then working on the next I put an examination bed in all of them, then an office table in all of them etc. That way it's just as quick to furnish 4 rooms than it is to furnish one and copy paste it four times.

i just use the prefabs, my entire hospital is a prefab hospital
i hope they make more prefabs in future for variety.

i'm too lazy to do own rooms. i just wanna plonk a hospital down and diagnose patients and watch it run lol :)

I use lot of prefarb but I like to creat my own wards because the prefab ones are not optimised, to much space for few bed.

I suspect there's a selection bias on this forum towards the sort of player that builds their own rooms :)

I always build my own, but it took two or three hospitals before I worked out a system that I liked. I started by making rooms as compact as possible, but this felt and looked wrong. It was also a pain to deal with fitting them into the building, as there wasn't a standard block size. So corridors would suddenly get narrower or wider for no good reason and the buildings felt messy.

Now I work exclusively within stuff that fits on a grid composed of 6x6 blocks. That doesn't mean that every room is say, 6x6, 6x12, 12x12 or suchlike; some might fit together with another element that they always pair with to fit within the overall pattern.

@vonMoo: Been there, done that. And amazingly, I came to the same conclusions ... rooms have to be bigger to look more realistic, the 6x6 grid (although I allow for odd sizes if the fit into the grid, f.e. 6x4 +6x8 = 2 6x6 grid spaces) and the pre-planning before I even start building.

I hardly ever use prefab as they have a lot of space and I prefer to make rooms myself. I tend to try and make things as compact as possible to make the most of space but I am trying to allow a bit more space in the hospital I am rebuilding at the moment, particularly in wards as my prestige is low.

vanilla game's prefabs are expensive than custom prefabs. try you see. i try for mrg same objects i paid less 5k. i think this is a bug.
