Ok, I'm having a mental block, gone to carry on today and I've totally forgotten how to set their breaks, been trawling through the interface and cant jog my memory. Damn, why did I stop playing !

In the finances menu - hit the dollar icon bottom left and go to Overview then select the "Staff" tab and it's in the top right (not a very intuitive location for it imho)

Also what governs their experience rate as it seems to take ages for staff to level up and gain an extra training slot/trait?

From what I can tell their XP rate steadily climbs as they work, and once it hits the threshold for the next level (Junior, Doctor, Senior, Consultant, etc) they sometimes need to learn an additional skill in the training room to advance... at which point they also gain a new empty slot...

As for what to train people in, on that Mitton level I basically singled out some specific staff and trained them to become teachers, e.g. one doctor I used an external trainer to teach him General Practice I, II and III and then hired a bunch of Junior docs and had him teach them all GP I and GP II... likewise I had a nurse who got Ward Management, a nurse who got diagnostics and a nurse who got treatment. I wouldn't think of the skills as the be-all-end-all though - their diagnostic and treatment skills also see bumps as they level up, but I feel it's still good to specialise your staff skills once you have the luxury of resources to do it (so for instance a doctor with gp I, diagnosis I, treatment I, psychiatry I is an okay jack-of-all-trades... but it would be better to have a dedicated psych with I - IV and a dedicated GP with gp I - IV and so on, with just a few broader docs to fill in the gaps when people are on break etc)

Edit: I just finished off Mitton and Tumble (still got to go back and get 1 star at mitton) and loving the game so far

Doh, looked at it half a dozen times and didnt see it. Thanks

It's the Finances icon lower left, the one with the yellow $ on it. It brings up the finances of your hospital and one of the tabs and the end has the breaks section.

I think the room queues must be seperate, because if I have two psych rooms, one showing a queue of 7 and the other a queue of 6. If I then remove one of the rooms, the remaining room then has a queue of 13.

$ sign, Overview tab.

I've just passed the third hospital and I'm leaving it. Pathing is awful, I've put things in the way so there's very little flow, it's not completely ruined it or anything, and I seem to have settled nicely even with everything squashed into one building, but when I come back I'll tidy it up.

Now, Tumble or University?

Woops, missed the new page and replied anyway

.

Queues do look separate, I hovered over each GP, and different people were highlighted for each one.

I like the University layout, got a classic hospital feel to it

Can you get rid of skills for staff? eg when you have diagnostics 1 + 2 can you remove the 1?

I think this right.

University

I'm now on Tumble and it's quite frustrating dealing with environmental issues! University was pretty decent as it was an important step in the game (training).

Unseul · 2 Sep 2018 at 15:47

Thanks for the suggestions, university it is.

CaptainRAVE · 2 Sep 2018 at 16:08

I started Tumble first. It is certainly more challenging than previous maps.

uncle_rufus · 2 Sep 2018 at 16:48

I did Mitton first but having done both I'd say Tumble is the easier one of the two *shrugs*

So is this worth getting? Kinda assuming it's a yes from most people?

No and you wouldn't want to because both give bonus.

You are suppose to focus a single person to set roles.

If you can still use one of the deals so that the game is under £20 well worth it

Keep trying to setup good pathing, but I swear they set the sizes of the buildings just to try and force you into bad pathing!

Still £14.34 at Voidu.com with code LASTWEEKEND for the next 13 minutes.

Its well worth it, what other game can you see John Travolta doing the Saturday Night Fever dance in front of Freddie Mercury striking his fist in the air pose?

Definitely yes from me. I was actually a little underwhelmed initially, especially with all the praise it was getting. But by the time I got to the third hospital I was absolutely loving it. Just wish I'd had more time to play this weekend.

Just 3 starred Smogley. Having an issue with Turtle Head and Surgery where I'm killing most of my patients. Decided to look into researching some advancements but can only upgrade machines or discover new ones it seems.

Had $2mil sat in the bank so thought I'd beef up my research lab. Thought I was being clever and only heating half of the room where the researchers are working to keep them comfortable and all my servers over the other side of the room....

....Nope!

Single aircon unit does sweet fa.. Going to bed now but I'll redesign it tomorrow.
