I appreciate your videos Pinstar. I'm just picking the game back up after a long break (last played like 20 months ago) and your videos have been really handy as refreshers. :) My goals launching into a new campaign are to... (1) Level 20 all the hospitals. (If possible. Lvl 20 Hogsport do-able???) (2) Maintain a satisfying (to me) level of visual realism and aesthetics. (3) Beyond that, refine each hospital to optimize reputation and profits, with no hesitation to demolish and remodel/rebuild in situations like research/mission unlocks, training gains, etc. ... all while avoiding exploits or cheesing as much as possible.

Number of patients is essentially the only difficulty factor in the game, to the point where high number of people (levels 20+) can make success literally impossible because you don't have enough space to build rooms in the hospital. By keeping hospital level artificially low, you can make any level ridiculously easy. The key lesson I've learned in 2000+ hours: it's better to let people wait and even leave than it is to unnecessarily increase the number of people coming into your hospital by building more rooms and getting more staff (and thereby increasing hospital level). Build just enough rooms to accomodate treatment rooms without causing massive bottlenecks. Better to have fewer rooms than to build excessively trying to be more efficient. Concerning prices, the best strategy is to put TREATMENT on 100% and everything else at default. Some will leave without paying and/or be unhappy, but you will make FAR more money to the point where money quickly because a non-issue, and if they leave it's at the end of their stay anyway (so you're not chasing them out before they've had a CHANCE to pay for treatment). Reputation is essentially irrelevant because number of patients (and therefore difficulty) are kept low through artificially low hospital level. Low patients keeps the game easy regardless of any other factor. Thank you Pinstar, love the videos!

Thanks Pinstar, love to see more 2PH videos, very helpful for me as a casual player :)

I like to crank my treatment prices to 100% and tank my reputation early on. It keeps my number of visitors down and I can build slow and steady. Eventually, my reputation will start to increase and ultimately max out, even with my treatment prices at 100%. If there's a downside to doing this, I haven't really noticed it.

Keep these up!

Ive wachted all of your stratagy and tatics Yu or anyvone else could use them to speedrun the game

I can't help but notice that you seem to have changed your Pharmacy and Training Room dispositions quite a bit (no more medicine cabinet in pharmacy but adding a coffee machine and a... massage chair(? I don't have that one yet) positioned far from the machine, no more Encyclopedia in the training room). Is that because you were testing new stuff or did you find those to be more efficient?

Hi! So am I right in thinking you don't bother with hallway benches? Or are these videos just for demonstration of the topic in hand...?
