Hi everybody, a new patch is out with mostly smaller improvements and fixes, but there's one change we should give you more details about - a system for handling incompatible mods we introduce with this version.

We've noticed that there are a few mods that are still widely installed, but haven't been updated in a very long time and are causing problems, typically untreatable patients at Internal Medicine. We can now mark these as incompatible not only on the workshop, but also directly in game, so they won't get loaded and you'll see a warning in main menu. This shouldn't be causing any problems with loading saved games, also there should be alternatives for most of the affected mods already available on the workshop.

If you're an author of one of the mods, please get in touch, we'll be happy to give you all the info about
what needs to be updated, so we can re-enable the mod.

Moreover, the list is accessible in the Twakables.xml file, so if you really love one of these mods and don't mind the side effects, it's possible to re-activate it there (TWEAKABLE_INCOMPATIBLE_WORKSHOP_MODS).

Changes
- Rolled back Unity version for Mac and Linux back to 2018.2.7f1 to hopefully fix a regression with text rendered in bold for certain languages, Windows version needs to stay on 2018.2.17f1 because of Citrix, but we'll also try to put a build with the previous version on a new branch (bold-text-fix).

- Allowed diagnosed patients to choose a new doctor when waiting (not always returning to the doctor who diagnosed them)
- Disabled counting of planned only rooms in department workload statistics and daily workload statistics

- Disabled send home button for characters already on their way out
- Fixed interview after lunch teleporting doctors because of accessing use component with other object still reserved

Breathe life into your hospitals with two new departments, more activities for staff and with visitors coming to improve your patients' mood!

Administrative department brings pharmacy, cafeteria, staff training and advanced janitor management. If you build a visitors lounge at any department, friends and family will start visiting your patients, even bringing them presents bought in a gift shop. In the meantime, different events happening in the area bring more variety to the daily routine.

If everything goes wrong, pathology allows you to figure out if mistakes were made and resolve any medical mystery.

The DLC contains two new departments and brings more life to the hospitals with visitors coming to see your patients and a lot more activities for your staff. Let us name a few new features: pharmacy, staff training, cafeteria, janitor management, visitor's lounge and gift shop for your lobbies. On the other end of the spectrum, there's Pathology as an individual department where you can perform autopsies and find out more about what went wrong.

If you're interested, please add the DLC to your wishlist so you don't miss the release - and it also helps us as developers! If not, there are still more features coming to the base game, so stay tuned!

Hospital Services will be available before the end of April for 7.99 USD/EUR/your regional equivalent and we hope the features are very much in line with what a lot of you wished for!
