training staff in "happy thoughts" as their third skill is extremely useful when you, for instance, may have an objective to increase average staff happiness and you can't afford to be permanently raising everyone's wages every few years

I love when my level 4+ security janitors still fail to catch the invaders, meanwhile, my level 1 janitors are over there, sending them back super easy. This randomness is so annoying, especially when you start getting 9+ invaders

I found that it was beneficial to have one janitor lvl 6 in security and a couple level 1. If you prefer to micromanage. The lvl 1's can distract and then you can pick move the lvl 6 to each one and always one shot them. This works because the animation is longer than the task so they actually clear it really quick and can move to the next before another invader can cause mischief.

My wife and I have been binging these videos as we play two point. Fantastic work, she is have a much easier time with all the tips and tricks.

That was AWESOME! Using the Private Tutor and the Researcher for 1 class is GENIUS! I kept giving my professors Happy Thoughts because they just wouldn't get the free time, but this is WAY better! Thank you as ALWAYS Pinstar!! 😄

Great videos Pinstar! I appreciate them a lot!

Exactly the info I needed - as always, great info and thank you!

Lol @ him singing "tactics" you know he was hype to make this video 😂

Note that when your janitors fail at fighting an invader, they mope for a bit before they reengage and look for another invader. But if you pick up that janitor and place it right back down, it instantly reengages. This prevents the invader from moving further into your building and reinitiates a fight right away. By doing this, even a level 1 security janitor can eventually wear down a higher level invader and defeat him. Also note that sometimes the invaders are difficult to spot. If you hold your security janitor in the area and position it for a second or two above a crowd, the game tells you if there is an invader close by. If so, you just place the janitor and it fights. If not, keep holding the janitor up and moving it to a new spot and hold it "still" there for a second and the game will tell you if there is an invader there.

Wow this is insanely helpful. Thank you so much!

Would you mind making a video about how you set up the layout of your campus? For example, do you have specific buildings for specific purposes (i.e. dorms, lecture halls & labs, entertainment & study halls, etc.) or do you just pepper one of each room throughout each building or is it somewhere in between. That seems to be what I am struggling the most with at the moment, trying to make a campus that feels real while also having it be somewhat efficient for students and staff. Love the videos thus far!

More great content from Pinstar!!

Really interesting, thanks!

Thanks

Hopefully a clinic build is coming soon. Finding one that's efficient and affordable

Wait a minute. Are you Pinstar off of inventing the Legacy Challenge for The Sims?! I’ve been watching Two Point Campus content lately so your Perfect 10 Dorm video appeared in my feed and now I’m watching this… if it’s the same Pinstar that blows my mind! I had no idea you had a presence on KZfaq! You literally invented a challenge which is now practically synonymous with a game! How are you not bigger than this?! My head is spinning.

Hi, in case you're reading this: Great work!!! Can you share advice on how to quickly go up on campus levels? I can't seem to figure out how to imcrease it quickly even though I am decorating, hiring and building. There must be a more efficient way than what I am doing. And please keep us posted on the food/drink stands and their effectiveness. 😇

Excellent video as always. Great archetypes and delivery. I just have a question. I'm working my way through Spiffinmore. How would you train teachers and janitors, considering there is a staff happiness requirement? Is it worthwhile to train them in Happy Thoughts, and if so what skill is worth sacrificing for it?

Hey Pinstar, great vid. I notice you didn't mention salary increases in all of this. Given wages is like the main outgoing fee, do you think its always beneficial to be leveling staff or will there be roles that just don't pay it back in happiness/learning boost etc?

So is it not worth filling in the last spot for assistants? I tend to put aerodynamics on the assistants that I dont have working at a library cause they tend to work at random spots that can be further away. And on my librarians I put happy thoughts to keep their happiness up. Wondering if that is worth it.

I'll be honest I miss the training classrooms in 2 point hospital where you can do a few at a time

In respect to tuition training, is this really only useful to teachers trained in 2 courses? On the surface it reads as if it will just additively increase the teaching say from 70% to 75% thus only giving value to multidisciplinary teachers for the 5% boost to each. If there is some separate functionality it would be nice to know. Otherwise it IS simply for dual trained teachers. So far I have single classed 5/6 of the maps that I've cleared.

Do the staff expect higher wages once they are trained or can the player get away with cheaper wages by training vs hiring? If trained staff expect their wages to be more or less on par with staff that are hired directly then it seems that the player might as well just cycle through the hire list most of the time.

I had no idea there was a job assignment tab. I thought they removed it. Live and learn i guess.

In the "Tips and tricks" guide by Freiya on Steam, it notes that Comic Timing "doesn't seem to trigger in the library at all when an assistant has it." Since you test things so thoroughly, I was wondering if you could confirm that it does in fact trigger in the library?

Have you tested how much Happy Thoughts can lead to a lower salary expectation and save money on salary overall? I had a janitor recruit with 7 levels of only Happy Thoughts that was $250 per year cheaper than a janitor recruit with 1 level of security.

Hi guys I had a issue on that map. When I purchase a new plot of land, students can't use kiosks that I build on it ... Anyone has an idea ?

love the vids, first comment :P

Is there any benefit to having teachers trained in 2 different courses? Say wizardry and dark arts?

One question regarding this though, I am always scheduling my teachers for training, however they are too busy with all the classes going on to actually attend the training. How do I solve this problem? Do I hire an extra teacher to reduce the workload and they have time for training or is there another solution?

pinstar4life

is there a way to assign staff to different roles like TPH? I.E this staff member only runs the library

You kinda sound like nardwuar
