Two Point Hospital

When did people go back to 3 star things? I'm on university now, just about to start the researching, but I'm wondering if other people have gone back to 3 star other hospitals already?

Struggling a bit with remembering training, I get doctors with the idea of having enough to provide the services, removing them for training means they aren't in rotation.

Sounds much more strategic than earlier levels.

It's a bit tedious to be honest. Water 10 plants/Get 200 research points/Train a staff member. I just want to crack on and build.

After about half hour you start getting 2 targets at once and more money starts rolling in. Just at that point now and having a break :)

Little tip for other levels though. On the other page I posted my massive research room, well I've unlocked the Super Computer and upgraded it with 50 of those and that's 2% research power each. So you can go back to that level to unlock your new rooms etc and then return to the level you're on :)

I did end up doing this too (well not the supercomputer) but it's especially useful if a new level has a brand new treatment you've not encountered before, but that needs researching before you can build it. Start the new level, unlocking the research project, then hop back to another hospital to unlock the room. Otherwise you have to try and get a research department built early on in a new hospital where you can't afford it

I am finding the university the easiest so far. It is the quickest I have expanded. Untrained staff makes them super cheap and you can then mould them to you every whim.

After playing University I think I actually prefer hiring untrained staff and giving them the training I want, though I guess it will slow my progress.

I'm on my 5th hospital so far but just got all the previous ones to 3 starts before moving on.

I 3 star my hospitals and then move on. I find it a bit cheaty if I was to go back and improve a poorer hospital with the upgraded tech I've encountered later on. I do see the appeal of doing it though.

I didn't think you could after about level 4, I've attempted Melt Downs 3 times now and cant progress because all the illnesses i need to cure cant be unlocked because I have no cash.

Without going to a prev level and unlocking the tech that way I'd have no way of doing it. Its just not possible to get the cures in to research 80% of the illnesses on that map
 
What's the best way for making staff happier, short of giving them all big pay rises?

I'm on the third hospital and can't seem to get staff happiness above about 69%, despite hiring more staff to try and spread the workload (and starting to specialise the staff).

Think a replay may require a self imposed "no going back" rule. 3 stars and move on sort of thing.

People keep challenging me in my previous hospitals, I have no choice :D

Yup, I have gone back to previous hospitals and have fired quite a few staff now in order to specialise them more appropriately.

The game is designed so that each hospital adds to your overall foundation, it encourages you to go back to other hospitals in order to develop them.

Pay rise is the easiest (throw money at them). Make sure they aren't hungry or thirsty (drinking fountains and food everywhere), higher prestige working and break rooms help.
 
OK so I observed the AI behavioural patterns on a few patients moments ago and have come to the conclusion that AI is a mess in the game. Either it is a bug or is just the way the game is as I can barely remember Theme Hospital from my DOS days.

Mr X goes to see a GP (3x GP skill) and isn't fully diagnosed by the end of his visit so he goes to the MEGA (expensive!) X-Ray room for further diagnosis. After this he still needs to see the GP as he is only 59% diagnosed.

Mr X instead of going to the GP, goes to the toilets, and then a vending machine before going to sit outside the GP, which allocates him 2nd in the queue (2). Then, being a class berk he is, he goes to the toilet again and gets bumped into 5th place in the queue before giving up in frustration and marching out of the hospital.

On another note I'm upto 8.5mill on Fleminton and swimming in resources so I'm focusing heavily on getting my staff upto V or Max training. All research is tapped out with the exception being two items (generate kudosh and $) that never expire.

Presumably his undiagnosed illness is incontinence :D
 
I went back to some of my hospitals last night. My goodness they are a mess. In definite need of optimisation. Shows I had no clue what I was doing when I started. Shame I am back in work now and don't have much time. Perfect switch off game when you are tired though.

This, I found deleting all the items designed to stop boredom speeds it up as people no longer decide to go and read a leaflet instead of going into the GPS office
