Which Layouts are the Best and Efficient in Two Point Hospital?
Two Point Hospital is one of those management games that you will always come back to as it is a fun and challenging game. It has a sandbox mode if you want to create the best hospital you want, but the missions in the main campaign, and even for the multiple DLC, are also quite challenging to reach three stars.
We will focus on giving you the best layouts for rooms of Two Point Hospital so you can have an efficient running hospital that will give you a lot of cash, and minimal headaches. (hopefully)
5. Power Plays’ GP’s Office Layout
Start at: 0:58
The GP's office is one of the most important rooms in Two Point Hospital, and it is basically the starting point and checkpoint for your patients before they actually go to the treatment rooms.
In most cases, there will be large queues at hospitals with a lot of patients. You can copy and paste several GP’s offices and hire more doctors, but there is a chance that it may backfire, and you may lose a lot of money because you hired too much.
An efficient GP’s Office will come a long way, and it can actually decrease the high number of queues you will get later on in the game. The room may look obnoxious, but it is hard to create an efficient room while maintaining a fabulous look for the hospital.
Why Power Plays’ GP’s Office Layout is Great:
- Create a 3x4 room, and then put the office desk and filing cabinet, the requirements for the room, beside the door. This way, the doctor and the patient will not walk far, so it makes the diagnosis quite efficient.
- To increase the room’s efficiency, you need to put plenty of Medicine cabinets in the remaining space in the room. Medicine Cabinet has a +1% increase in both diagnosis power and +1% treatment power, and putting several of them stacks the additional increase you can get, which is important if you want to run an efficient hospital.
- Put additional items that increase the attractiveness of the room, such as a gold star award, which is technically an item with the most increase in prestige and attractiveness. You can put it on every part of the wall, so you can get maxed prestige. Alternatively, you can put up posters that increase happiness near the office desk.
4. Power Plays’ Staff Room Layout
Start at: 0:56
The staff room is where your staff rest and do things that can make them happy as long as you put items that can increase and sustain their needs. Having them in many locations of your hospital is essential, especially if it has gotten bigger so your staff has less idle time just walking to and from the staff room.
A good thing about the staff room is it does not have any required size, so you can even create one with a 2x2 size, and it would be fine, although it looks so cramped, even for Two Point Hospital standards. A good staff room fills the needs of your staff, so they are fulfilled and motivated to return to work.
Why Power Plays’ Staff Room Layout is Great:
- The ideal size for a staff room can be 4x3. However, you can get a bare minimum staff room for 3x2. Both will sustain the needs of your staff, but the former one would definitely host more staff than the latter.
- Three couches, and four punching bags to sustain entertainment and energy in your 4x3 staff room. On the other hand, two couches, an arcade system, and a punching bag for the smaller version. It can be a little bit cramped on the bare minimum size.
- Put up vending machines that will sustain the food and drinks of your staff. This will give them the optimal time to rest, eat, drink, and entertain themselves before going back to work. For the smaller version, only one vending machine is possible, so you can put the other one outside.
3. The Power Ward Layout
Start at: 1:48
The ward is another room that is essential in Two Point Hospital. Why? Well, it has two functions, and those are to diagnose and to do treatment for patients. Usually, a big ward needs to have two to three nurses so they can quickly check up on patients.
Pinstar created a Power Ward build that is highly efficient, and you need to put the items in an orderly manner like the nurse station, beds, and even the door. The perspective on creating the room to lessen the confusion is that you are looking from outside of the room.
Why The Power Ward Layout is Great:
- A 5x4 size for the power ward room, and for optimization, you can put the door near the edge on the right side of the room. Do not put it on the edge, and instead leave a small space, where you can put some items or decorations later on such as a sweet dispenser or medical cabinet.
- The nurse station and the screens are placed conveniently so you can put up many beds in such a small room. The nurse station needs to be put on the left side of the door. The chair must be pointing inwards towards the middle of the room. This way, you can put two screens in front of the nurse station, which make the in and out of patients very efficient.
- Simply put up six beds on the space remaining just by rotating the beds as they fit. Six beds on a ward are already plenty. Make sure to leave room for additional items in the game.
- Put up items that increase efficiency such as a wall monitor near the nurse station, and medicine cabinets in the remaining space that you left in the room. Add plenty of gold star awards to increase prestige as well.
- Add a coffee maker and sweet dispenser to sustain your staff’s needs, so they do not have to leave the room for food and drinks.
2. The Sawtooth Fracture Ward Layout
Start at: 1:04
The fracture ward may not be the most important room in the hospital, as it is usually more involved in later parts of the game or mission because it is solely a treatment room for specific patients with physical injuries. However, it can be pretty challenging to create as the items required to build one have weird designs and sizes.
Nevertheless, Pinstar created a great way to cram them into a decent size room with all the additional items to increase the effectiveness already included in the room. Similar to the ward, the perspective on creating the room to lessen the confusion is that you are looking from outside of the room.
Why The Sawtooth Fracture Ward Layout is Great:
- Create a 6x3 room. The door is located on the left side of the room, as you need to put the nurse station on the left side of the door.
- The plaster caster can be squeezed beside the nurse station. In this setup, only one is needed considering it is a treatment room. It is rare to see queues in this room unless there is an emergency challenge that you accepted or if you campaign the sickness thru marketing.
- The traction bed is huge, but because of our layout, you can squeeze four of them in this setup. Basically, it will look like teeth or a sawtooth based on the placement of the four beds. Utilize the ctrl key so you can squeeze the last bed as the snap feature may not allow you to put it.
- Put up medical cabinets in the remaining spaces. Amazingly, you can put a medical cabinet inside the traction bed. (between the actual bed) You can easily maximize the additional boost with this technique.
- Other items like a radiator or aircon (depending on the temperature) can be placed in between the beds outside the curtains. Lastly, add old star awards to significantly increase the prestige of the room.
1. The Diagnostic Mosh Pit Layout
Start at: 1:08
Creating efficient rooms is quite fun and challenging, but knowing where to place them correctly is another way to make an efficient hospital. Thus, it is best to create diagnostic rooms that are near each other, so it will lessen the number of patients moving around the hospital going from one room to another.
Pinstar made the Diagnostic Mosh Pit Layout, where diagnostic rooms are adjacent to each other, so patients can move around and get their diagnosis rather quickly, while staff can sustain their needs in the same location as well.
This design works well on early maps, but I highly suggest that you mix and match on maps where it is not feasible to create due to the map limitation or how the building is built.
Why The Diagnostic Mosh Pit Layout is Great:
- Basically, the layout is a letter ‘n’ shape or an arc shape that is an 11x8 block, where the rooms are adjacent to each other while sustaining the needs of both patients and staff.
- Two GP’s offices with several medical cabinets in front of each other. This way, all incoming and returning patients only have to wait for their turn between these two offices.
- Create the power ward beside one of the GP’s offices. Ideally, set it to diagnosis only so people that need treatment will not queue and make the mosh pit overcrowded.
- Add the staff room next to the other GP’s office, make sure it has enough items to sustain your staff so they do not wander far away from the mosh pit.
- Place the cardiology room or general diagnosis room beside the staff room. As usual, add necessary items such as wall monitors and medical cabinets to increase the percentage of diagnosis.
- Toilet with four cubicles located at the middle top for the other rooms, so staff and patients can easily do the deed for their bladder needs.
- In the middle of the mosh pit, there should be plenty of vending machines, plants, and bins. Add newsagents so patients will be entertained and happy.
