Hi, we've added basic categories and tags to Project Hospital workshop, so you can mark your content as either scenarios (and further as empty or equipped) or mods.

The tags are already set for the existing items, please just check that everything matches. And if you have any suggestions how to categorize the content further, let us know! :)

Hi all, we're happy and relieved to see that the release of 1.1 went smoothly, but there were still a few issues we wanted to address as soon as possible, especially the problem with language selection not loaded correctly on startup.
So, thanks for all the feedback and bug reports, here's a small patch to address the recent issues.

Also, the workshop page has started to fill with new scenarios and mods, make sure to check them out! :)

Project Hospital 1.1.16229

- Fixed a regression: [Steam only] language settings not correctly loaded
- Fixed sandbox options not applied when playing a scenario
- Fixed radiologists available for hire always regenerated during load
- Fixed queue in a waiting room stuck on reserved info TV when deleting waiting rooms while patients are being called
- Fixed operating rooms from different department used when the one from patients department is free but on a different floor
- Fixed patients (rarely) released from observation with a reserved technologist
- Fixed lab delivery script (rarely) stuck on fired and later deleted technologists

We're happy to announce Project Hospital 1.1, a major update with some of the most requested features, user experience improvements and Workshop support!

This update contains roughly four months of work, already in production during the last two patches - because of the nature of the new features and content it made sense to test and balance everything together.
