UPDATE ??? More Floors and a Basement for Pathology and more...

[Kevbrother]

Dear developers and modders,

The departments in this game are increasing due to new DLCs and mod creation.

So far there are:
- EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
- RADIOLOGY
- SURGERY
- INTERNAL MEDICINE
- INTENSIVE STATION
- NEUROLOGY
- CARDIOLOGY
- ORTHOPEDICS
- MEDICAL LABORATORIES
- PATHOLOGY
- ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT
- ENT CLINIC
- ONCOLOGY
- SEXUAL HEALTH
- GYNECOLOGY

I have a 96x96 building.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to place all departments on the 9 floors.

I think there are many other users waiting on more floors in the game.

When will there be an update ???

To the max. Increase the number of floors or build a basement for pathology or the like.

I do not know any clinic where the deceased patients are stored or normalized on normal floors.

Something like that is always done in the basement because of the visitors and other patients.

You can make pathology staff only.

Depending on your layout, you could get all of those into a 9 floor hospital.

My main piece of advice is to make your own rooms, rather than the pre-fabs

I know that I could build the pathology on all 9 floors.

I only meant if someone dies that they can be run as quickly as possible and without many people running away with the body on the stretcher ... this leads to pathology.

Not that you have to drive past the canteen in front of the stretcher with every dead person.


I always build without the prefabricated rooms.

I think the 96x96 map is large enough to house all departments.

For example, I can fit the Radiology/Emergency/Pathology/Laboratory and Adminservices department on a single floor. On floor above that, the whole General Surgery/Orthopaedics/ICU departmant is located with enough room to spare.

Maybe you could share a picture of one or two of you hospital floors?

As for the pathology - in our local hospital, it's housed above ground in an annex building. This whole 'morgue and pathology are always housed in dark damp basements' is a bit of a trope. That may have been true in the past, when refrigeration wasn't that common/easily available, but today it's not necessary. And from a work conditions regulation point of view, workplaces below groundlevel without ample natural light and access to fresh air have to be avoided whenever possible.

I also thought that the floors would be raised, the width is okay.

There are now 15 departments, you have to spread them over 9 floors ... plus additional department mods that may follow.

If the departments shared toilets and break rooms, cleaning rooms, there would also be more space for other things.

As well as if I have to add a lounge to every station.

You can find my existing building in the workshop "BIG CITY HOSPITAL"

I have already built over the right side of the parking lot, so there is more space because I have also integrated ENT and oncology.
