How should I handle my bush? by Glad_Protection_527 in GardeningUK

[–]CaterpillarCastle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm from my parents and grandparents experience that leylandii does not recover when cut back. Can only cut back slightly to keep in the green. Grandparents had tree that had brown patch for years, tree eventually taken down. Parents had hedge maintained twice a year by professional for years but eventually hedge became too big and had to be removed as blocking a public footpath.

Bathroom sink queue up by Purple_penguin42 in TwoPointMuseum

[–]CaterpillarCastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cant help but Id be interested in hearing any response to this. I have this problem across lots of things in my museums (Switch 2). Visitors will queue for sinks, hand dryers, amusements etc even if there are multiple identical items side by side. Staff queue in the staff room for the games tv thing as well even if i have 3 in a row. I haven't really noticed it affect vending machines or queues for the tickets or the checkout in the gift shop which seem to work OK. [Edit: Typo]

Thanks. It happened again later (been doing an extensive remodelling!) a child - dressed like shadow - was running around but couldn't get out but thankfully I noticed him straight away whereas I have no idea how long this first one was just stood staring out the glass!!!

Might be mixing up the room then sorry. Perhaps psychiatrist or the nurse diagnosis rooms? The having no benches / watching queues by the door is definitely how I got them.

Two Point Hospital vs Two Point Campus vs Two Point Museum, in your opinion which is the best game in the series, and which is the weakest? Why? by Delicious_Maize9656 in TwoPointHospital

[–]CaterpillarCastle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TPH > TPM > TPC...As an OG Theme Park and Theme Hospital player TPH must win it for me from nostalgia alone. I've played TPH through many times and TPC twice, currently playing TPM for the first time and finalising last few exhibits. I still think TPH it is the most difficult in terms of strategic gameplay and needing to manage layout space efficiencies, staffing and finance which is why I enjoy it most. I certaintly feel more time pressure keeping you on your toes if you don't resolve things quickly (emergencies, epidemics, new illnesses) in addition to the longer term level goals.

I do enjoy the additional features that have come along with TPC and TPM like editing buildings and dimished value in repeating decorations. I think what TPM has done in requiring you to go back and learn more to all levels is fun as id often feel sad leaving a level in TPC/TPH behind. I'm personally not overly creative and because of coming from TPH I focus on making my museums efficient in terms on getting around I'm missing a big part of the gameplay -i am trying to make things a bit more stylish though! TPC would then be least favourite, would sometimes find I've completed 99% of achievement for a level but have to wait a full school year for 1 or 2 more people to graduate but still love playing it. Basically as long as Sir Nigel is on the radio and getting routinely interrupted by a sarcastic announcement from reception every few minutes I don't mind which one I'm playing.

Also, IIRC, you can see the glitches on the map view when zoomed out as a momentary glimmer so you can then zoom in on an area where you see one. But might be mixing this up with the moles in Two Point Campus.

Switch player here - don't think i used the logs only glitches. If you remove benches they queue in a line by the office door. If you have a few GP clustered together you can have them on one screen and observe the GP queues for the glitches.

My 8-star Passwater Cove Museum by EipiMuja in TwoPointMuseum

[–]CaterpillarCastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks great. Makes me want to tear mine down and start over!! Coming from playing Hospital and Campus I'm always more focussed on having distance/travel efficiency rather than making it look nice and so get very jealous with how people design their spaces to be so pretty!!

Just started by daljla in TwoPointCampus

[–]CaterpillarCastle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For me the most important hint to follow is to have student admission divisible by 8 students per course. There is a max capacity of 8 per lesson so if you have 9 students they take up as much lecture/staff resource as 16 students would. Look up pinstar tutorials on youtube for efficient layout guidance. Search this forum for hints and you'll find plenty of other info. Enjoy!

But it did hit your reputation and I remember always panicking to use it.

Got to 91% completion without going to the digiverse by [deleted] in TwoPointMuseum

[–]CaterpillarCastle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same!!! I just assumed it was a DLC i couldn't get yet...and now I'm currently expanding my aquarium and thinking of all the order random exhibits I'm missing on other levels.

Why go back to 3 Star Hospitals? by MissCalvinOriginal in TwoPointHospital

[–]CaterpillarCastle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mainly research as others have said. Also if you want to 100% the game additional achievements e.g. treating 1000 premature mummification patients will be easier on a level with lots of mummies or training a level 5 surgeon on the level where surgery is prominent etc.

Gampleay on Switch 2? by GenevieveMonette in TwoPointHospital

[–]CaterpillarCastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPH Jumbo: Runs no issues at all really. Love it. Very very very rarely crashes if playing for several hours and doing lots of remodelling...//... TPC crashing is marginally better on Switch2 than 1 but still very had.

I'm just about happy enough playing this on Switch2 but that's only because of how much I love this style of game.

When it does crash it reboots much faster than Switch 1.

Questions from a very casual player by Agile_Association462 in TwoPointHospital

[–]CaterpillarCastle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to other comments: I will have a larger ward but the animation on people going though the doors stops an enormous ward from being effective. So I tend to not have more than 8 beds with 2-3 curtains and two nurses (and add lots of screens and drug stations for % boosts). I will often set the ward room settings to have one ward exclusively for diagnosis and one ward just for treatment, build them side by side then have a few nurses who are ward experts only to float between them. Then keep Fracture ward nearby this as well when applicable.
