Two Point Hospital Strategy & Tactics Quick Tip: The Medical 6

[@lillywhite7443]

I must admit to much chagrin that before watching your videos on the game, I didn't even realize I could pause the game to set up rooms et al and I've been playing the game ever since it was released! I had no idea there was so much to the game and really appreciate all your helpful videos on it. Good to know at my age (I'm an oldie but a goodie), I can still enjoy relaxing games like this with your help. :-)

[@Rose_D]

I like to split the psychiatry rooms between treatment and diagnosis because I tend to keep all my diagnosis rooms clustered together near the GP offices and then I'll have the treatment rooms spread further away, including a treatment psychiatric room. Great video as always.

[@kingraijun9908]

same..

[@budionoyuwononitiharjo2770]

Pinstar you are my hero. My english isn't good but I can understand so clearly what you share about all your tricks and tips. Thanks man.

[@TheMrgrafixable]

My too english skilled is not. English video games I play

[@megharoni]

Just now playing this game and these tips are SO HELPFUL

[@BasicBraining]

I give my researchers Stamina Training, and look for the Tireless trait when possible. The less time they spend on break, the higher chance a "more important" doctor can take a break when they need to. The researcher working longer hours makes up for being a little behind on Research Training.

[@angrykaren7737]

Thank you so much for these videos, they help a lot! 🤗

[@frabjuosity]

Hahaha I watched your nurses video and thought the idea of giving them specific outfits for their roles was great - went ahead and did that for all my staff without having watched this video yet. Turns out we picked the exact same outfits for all the doctor types, except I give my radiologists grey stripes

[@msbroomstick1]

I wanted to ask, why give nurses more than 3 treatment slots, because if you're working with fully upgraded machine you're going to hit the treatment cap by then?

[@Pinstar]

I'm still doing my own testing on the numbers. Yes, I have seen the guide (I try to avoid guides generally and research my own strategy) but I want to do my own experiments to confirm its claims. The math may have changed since the guide was written. Depending on my findings, I'll put out a video suggesting updates or revisions to my previously stated strategy.

[@stevorobo692]

Can you do a video on temprature? I find it time consuming and cant seem to get it quite right and I'm not sure how important it is to get it just right.

[@Pinstar]

I'm going to do a video on corridor design and part of that will be temperature fixers. I'll cover hot and cold fixers and their placement.

[@Sparklymuppet]

Thank you! All your videos are so helpful! Are you Jimmy Snow? Because you have his voice. Like, exact voice.

[@Pinstar]

Can't say I've heard that one before, but I am not Jimmy Snow, no. Thank you for the kind words :)

[@sarahslittlefish9585]

Your videos are so helpful! My hospital is running a lot more smoothly. 😁

[@amypeggs9606]

IME, you're missing a trick if you discount DNA room for diagnostics. The Genetics qualification gives doctors a huge boost in diagnostic, even without any training in it, and the amount of % patients jump up when they visit there is substantial. For a room that doubles as treatment and isn't as expensive or space hungry as the megascan, I find it really useful.

[@ToriOhio]

What was the kiosk at the start of the video that had string lights and looked like Christmas wreaths?

[@amypeggs9606]

I think that's the Cosy Kiosk, it was part of the Christmas free content IIRC? You might have to buy it with Kudosh.

[@Takhar7]

Super helpful video!

[@МихаилМишкин-н8ф]

very good

[@samshad]

do I need x-ray and mega scan both or just only mega scan is fine for all the diagnosis???

[@Pinstar]

Having both is good. You're going to be training radiologists anyway so your team of them can be set to work either room and the X-Ray is much faster than the MEGA, so it can take the load off of your MEGA rooms a bit while still leaving the MEGA as an option for those hard illnesses that are easily diagnosed by the MEGA.

I don’t know which addiction is worse, the game, or you 😭😂

[@BartOppeel]

Would motivation help for a surgeon as well, or doesn't that affect anything ? So Motivation, Stamina Training and Surgery III ?

[@Pinstar]

Not really. The bulk of their time spent during surgery is doing the surgery animation and motivation does not speed up animations, only walking speed. I'd consider it acceptable pollution as it would help them get to and from break faster and onto their operating pad a little faster but I wouldn't go out of my way to train for it.

[@BartOppeel]

@@Pinstar Thank you very much! Finally got in the mood to play again, really enjoyed your Off the Grid video :)

[@Diamondphobe]

I may have missed it, but your hospital never have chairs/seating in the corridors. Is there a reason? It is a time thing? Also drinks machines/snack machines seem a bit sparse compared to my hospital.

[@jamesgordon1446]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSwc6OJgNNnnZY Pinstar says benches don’t help and actually slows things down

[@Pinstar]

I'll be doing a video focusing on corridor design soon. As James Gordon correctly stated, benches are never used because they take up space and slow down patients getting into rooms.

[@Rose_D]

I have benches outside treatment rooms but not diagnostic, honestly depends if it's too busy. I think the more crowded it gets the more chaotic, but use what works best for you.

[@Rap1dACE]

Has anyone had any problems with prices at 50% dropping rep by -1 when patient pays? Min 74%happy. Simple fix was to reduce prices to get full reputation but I haven't gone back to Flemington to see if I could 50% again.

[@Pinstar]

At 50% treatment, you'll still eventually drop your price rep to 0, but it is much slower than if you were charging 100% and you can still keep your overall rep high with good cure rates and maybe a marketing campaign to supplement.

[@stephenwakeman3074]

If a research doctor researches research, could a research research doctor research the research they've researched? Or would they just go get a cuppa?

[@VideoAssaultSaturday]

you cant assign a specified npc to a room or building, its true, although i wish they did. (there's probably a mod for it, i don't wanna mod tho)

[@sirgaz8699]

It looks like you don't have any of the DLC?

[@Pinstar]

As of the recording of this video, I did not, but as of the typing of this comment, I do! I try to keep my strategies focused on the core game as I don't want to pin a whole strategy on "Step one: Buy this DLC". Once I've covered everything in the base game I may branch out into some DLC-specific strats. I will be doing a video where I take the wider variety of vending machines into account to see what combinations work well.

[@zedorda1337]

A GP with 3 GP skills will "bullseyes" all simple illnesses in a well set up 3x3 room.

[@Pinstar]

All simple illnesses, yes, but not the harder ones. But the bigger a bite they can take out of the initial diagnosis, the faster you can get them fully diagnosed. The ideal is to have them visit no more than 1 additional diagnosis room after the initial GP's visit, as that way the patient will only touch a GP queue once during their whole visit. Follow-up visits to the GP's office have a much LOWER base diagnostic power compared to the initial visit, so a follow-up visit just snarls queues and isn't actually very effective. A GP V doctor might be overkill on the easier diagnostics, but if you can 70% some of the much harder ones, you'll have a good chance at knocking out that 30% with whatever other room they get sent to, especially if you have the heavy hitters like the DNA, Xray and MEGA scan built and upgraded.

[@Zepheera]

I'm sad that I had to back the video up three times at "hi, there" to figure out what happened.

[@Pinstar]

I actually went on a bit of an aside but decided to cut that as it wasn't relevant to the video. That test hospital hadn't, up until that point, gotten any empire complex patients until just that moment. So it caught me off guard. :)

[@Jonjon13Jonjon13]

@@Pinstar do ya need a mop for that drool? :P

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

But I like having patients go to other diagnostic rooms. More money haha!

[@Pinstar]

If the base prices for treatments weren't so much larger than the base prices for diagnostics, it might be worth milking patients this way. But even the most expensive diagnostic room has a lower base price than the cheapest treatment. Not to mention all the negative side effects to keeping patients in the hospital longer (crowds, queues, deaths due to health decay)

[@gergobacso2456]

I like how the surgeon roaming in his freetime rather than show actual work in this video. :D Poor visual ahowcase.
