Project Hospital
Update 1.1.16207 (added 30 May 2019):
"First impressions" update
- Improved menus
- Loading tips
- Preview screenshots and more info about saved games
- Video background in main menu
- Custom UI scale now works also in main menu (title screen)
UI
- New workspace panels in management
- Updated management interface with new shared rooms category
- New hiring UI with more categories (don't forget to click on individual workspaces to open hiring card!), indication of required specializations for all professions
- Department statistics with room workloads, prestige, patient details and procedure info
- Polished hospital statistics, added yesterday's statistics panel
- Tooltips for symptoms in table of diagnoses
- More keyboard shortcuts (departments mapped to 1-9, DEL for bulldozer tool, ...)
- Cleaned up buttons in tool panels in building mode
- Notifications have configurable colors
- A couple of new notifications on the main panel for trying to hire characters to a room they're not allowed
- More info about why an ambulance can't be placed (for example on an above-the ground floor, this was surprisingly easy to miss)
- Exam units show patient portraits when a procedure is running there
- Added info about required hospitalization to surgery tooltips
- (Plus a lot of small quality-of-life improvements in the UI)
Gameplay
- New insurance company objectives and rewards (more varied and hopefully more fun, more challenging in the late game - for example performing surgeries, saving patients after collapses)
- New laboratories department shared between other departments (Hematology, Histology and Microbiology labs with some new equipment)
- Sharing more rooms, for example sharing common rooms between departments for free time and staff lunch
- Added maximum number of insurance companies contracted at once, balanced to send similar numbers of patients as the original insurance companies
- Smooth ranges of patient numbers sent by insurance companies according to prestige
- Random events
- Improved rules for making events available after unlocking, all departments are no more needed
- Added detection that patient's doctor doesn't have diagnostics role allowed
- Night clinic
- Patients leave after not being seen for too long, not only when clinic closes
- Implemented moving patients waiting at reception to a waiting room if shifts have changed and there's no receptionist
- Releasing patients from observation back to clinic if they're not at risk anymore, added a couple of notifications
- Receptionist is a proper employee role now
- Improved rules for which roles are available where (anesthesiology, reception)
- Staff limit can be increased to 400 in options (only attempt this if you have at least the recommended hardware)
- Staff counter on main panel blinks when trying to hire an employee and the employee limit has been reached
- Improved visual side of characters entering/exiting elevators (timing, fade in, fixed overlapping)
- Improved handling of priorities on Trauma and Observation
- Implemented specific detection of procedures not available to be prescribed at a certain department (not only when a specific doctor doesn't have the required skill)
- New notification for not enough stretchers to transport all patients at a department
- Idle characters without workspace now show it as their status in their card
- Updated tutorials and dependency tree visualization to match updated mechanics
- Disabled releasing patients during the night, they'll wait for the morning
- Implemented leveling up anesthesiology also by resuscitating collapsed patients
- If a patient dies, this counts in statistics of the department where their diagnosis belongs, not ICU where they usually end up after a collapse
- Disabled department change to radiology for nurses and doctors
Building
- Rooms in management mode can be used as a planning tool (before constructing foundations)
- Move room tool (available under prefabs)
- Automatically hiding objects when building/deleting walls
- When placing a prefab that will add foundations underneath, the visualization is now consistent with using the foundations tool
- A new notification on the main panel for 'out of funds'
- More colors for doors
Fixes
- Fixed planned procedures not cancelled if one of the reserved employees gets fired
- Fixed few issues with closing departments (for example janitors currently in a bathroom wouldn't return their carts)

- Fixed broken layout of symptoms panel in patient's card in case there's more than 16 symptoms
- Fixed dirty environment satisfaction modifier applied to characters way too late
- Fixed portraits of patients shown above lab equipment rendered also on incorrect floors
- Fixed wrong floor type applied when destroying foundations on above-the-ground floors

- Fixed patients without planned examinations slowing down waiting rooms by waiting for their original doctor
- Fixed table of employees stuck with wrong filter in a couple of cases

- Fixed url on the bug reporting button in main menu (was using the wrong top level domain after changes on forumotion's side)

- Fixed automatic switch to new automatically created departments (this would affect old saves where the lab department gets automatically created)
- Fixed sinks allowed to be placed on bins but then immediately deleted
- Fixed popups blinking when pressing escape
- Fixed total satisfaction not recalculated when patients respawn for their second visit, fixed satisfaction not always updated when modifiers get reset
- Fixed reserved tiles allowed to be selected to be cleaned by janitors (so they don't wipe collapsed patients)
- Fixed examination availability not updated when AI switches (hospitalized) patient's department
- Fixed an error if a patient is sent away while the paramedic who originally brought them is still walking through the hospital
- Fixed rotation of multiple rooms in prefabs
