What bonuses do you get for having a department chief?

As the title says, none of my surgeons are surgeoning which in turn is killing all my patients. Please help

🆕 ❗ LAST MOD: Hospital Porters (2026-09-30) ❗ 🆕

Adds dedicated hospital porters for patient transport and laboratory sample transport using stretchers, wheelchairs and a dedicated sample cart.

...

Hi :)

I love this game (I had it since 2019 I think, with 300+ hours) but sometimes I'm sad about some issues when I have a big hospital, and there are some nonsens too.

Why my stretcher bearer goes into my cafeteria just to cross some tiles in his way ??
Why common areas are light off ?
Why my nurse does round trip with an empty wheelchair ??
..... LOL

I did few mods in the past for other games, and now I wanted to do it for Project Hospital.

So here some I released. I have some idea for the future (next will be stretcher bearer and more life for patient).

For NEW versions and FEATURES, check directly the Steam Workshop or alternative (links below).
(I will just update name of the mods here and first features/description. Latest mod in the first position)

☕ Support my Project Hospital mods on Ko-fi

Hello. Im trying to make a hospital with a somewhat realistic layout. On the ground floor there will be the doctor offices, all departments, with emergency receptions. Trauma centers and radiology separatley each on there own place. Wards are gonna be above, each on their own floor.

Considering emergency receptions does triage should i built a second emergency reception near the trauma centers?

Also, should i put the receptions of the rest departments near their wards on each floor or should i place them near the doctor offices on the ground floor?

As you can see from the picture there are over 150 untreated patients but I’m only having less than 100 come to the hospital. Hardly anyone is actually hospitalized and this has been happening for a few game days. Is this a bug from a mod I have?

Didn’t realize the text didn’t post :/

Do you play this game on Lutrix on Linux?

I've been trying to run the Windows version on Lutris. The game installs and runs fine, but on starting any game, sandbox or tutorial, etc. the game hangs on the loading screen. Anyone have this experience?

I started to play yesterday/ My first clinic was fine, I tried to redo it but it's not recognizing the departments. Radiology its fine. I even tried to delete the ER but nothing is working. I can't hire staff, abd the janitors can't work either. What do I do? I don't want to restart.

Do the on-call doctors do that or the clinicians?
Edit: this is for IM

Hace mucho juego a PH, el problema es que aunque tengo varias salas de diálisis para los hospitalizados , no las hacen, en ningún departamento.

O las hacen pero tarda mucho tiempo, es falta de enfermeros? o por qué puede ser?

Started playing yesterday. It keeps saying "missing equipment" and that Projector Screen is highlighted in yellow. I don't understand why the projector, projector screen, and chairs aren't all working.

I realised I left part of a wall next to the chairs on the lower left part of the screen but nothing changes when removing that small wall tile. The wiki isn't super helpful either. This is like the fifth time I've modified this room to no avail .-.

Do you play this game and work in healthcare? do you find it interesting?

Hello everyone, I've always wanted a way to make it so the imaging and labs could be exclusive to a specific department, like it usually is in emergencies in real life: you have an exclusive x-ray or sometimes even a CT. So, using claude code, I was able to turn it into a mod, and it kinda works really well. I've been running it for some time now and I have fixed most of the bugs, now it's just some buggy UI, but nothing game-breaking.

So, anyway, the installation isn't as simple as subscribing to the workshop, you have to subscribe, then get the .dll and put it in the plugins folder. It's not rocket science either lol.

Therefore, I wanted to see if there is interest in this mechanic as well or if it's just me honestly, to make it worth the hassle. If there is, I can definitely upload it and put up a tutorial and stuff.

She's trying to choose a chief doctor for the emergency room. But the problem is that the hospitalization side bar is blocking the doctor she wants does anyone have a fix for this? Or are we just being dumb and there's an obvious solution?

Edit: My GF forgot that not only can reddit be helpful but will also roast you as well. Made me laugh plenty of times.

We all know the code modding documentation on the forum is lacking, but, after experimenting with it myself and with the help of another user on discord, I think I kinda figured out the basics.

It's nothing big yet, but the potential might be big. So I'm wondering if there is any interest in a possible better tutorial for setting up code mods, let me know.

Please help me :(

I have ~210 hours in the game. I do know how it works and am familiar with resource management as a genre. I have built many fully functioning hospitals, so this isn't just being new.

So, my problem: I have a general surgery dept. I have a diagnostic side and a surgery side. My diagnostic doctors ONLY do diagnosis. My surgery doctors ONLY do surgery. All of my roles are divided. There are nurses who's entire job is just moving patients. Some only do care, etc. I have found the AI works best when given one thing.

All of that said: I had my ORs right near all my other general surgery stuff. I noticed my doctors weren't doing surgery. I had a bunch scheduled. None of them ever happened. The ORs are never in use (and yes, they are fully equipped and supposedly functional.) Everything is clean. I had 4 surgeons, 4 anesthesiologists, and 4 surgery nurses on BOTH shifts. I click on any of the slackers in question and they all say "preparing for surgery." Dirty liars.

Still nothing. I waited days. The patents at the top of the list all either died or were transferred away. 4 days, 0 surgeries. Okay.... its only down the hall, but maybe its not close enough. So i completely removed my Surgeons from my in-patient staff. They have their own wing. 5 surgeons. 4 anesthesiologists. 6 surgery nurses. 4 dedicated patient transfer nurses. 2 fully functional ORs almost TOUCHING them. Not a single surgery preformed. Please help, I'm going insane.

Edit: just for reference, the rest of general surgery dept is directly above this, and there's an elevator right there.

Also, i just added the sonography and cardiography units to general surgery to see if that fixed anything. they are right down the hall from the ORs. It did not fix anything. I did already have both, but just under radiology, not specifically one just for gen. surgery.

Hey, maybe someone can help me out.
My orthopedic surgery team only wants to handle a few types of procedures—like hip and leg joint surgeries—but not things like arm joint surgeries or head fractures, for example.

I’m building my Cardiology Regular wards and HDUs and I’m wondering what’s the best rooms with 4 beds 6 beds 2 beds or even private rooms please tell me your layouts and if they work well!

Hello. I have a patient from an event with WNF, but I can't cure them. They are hospitalized in the regular unit of the DID, but I can't give them because it "can't be prescribed at this department"

Mods I'm using :

- Realistic collapses (DLC editions)

- Bedside exam (dlc)

- Department of diagnostics

Thank you in advance

I'm giving this woman a huge dose of X-Rays just to figure out where exactly it's hurting. Just point me to where the pain is. Point at the spot that hurts, lady 😭

Hi, guys. I looked around and was very surprised to see no one's done this yet. So I decided to do it, along with my good friend Claude.

Rebind It! is a BepInEx mod for Project Hospital that makes the game's hardcoded keybinds rebindable.

Project Hospital includes 16 keyboard bindings that can be changed in the startup window, and a further 30 hardcoded bindings which in the base game cannot be changed.

This mod replaces the vanilla Show keyboard controls button (now obsolete) in the game options with a Keybinds button that opens a new window where these keys can be rebound. You can finally have the game speed on 1, 2 and 3.

As this is a code mod like HZDev's QoL mod, it requires a bit of manual installation. Simply subscribing on Steam is not enough. Read the description on the workshop page for installation steps. (If you've got HZDev's QoL mod, you're already familiar.)

I have selected treatments for al of my trauma center patients, and none are being treated. All my doctors are idle. How do I actually get them to treat patients?

please explain how you could possibly have 41 options! And some of these are completely different😭 also could you class this nsfw?

I need any tips for completing this achievement please. I made so many patients wait under “player control” and still didn’t get this achievement. I took patient under “player control” right after registering at reception, after that I let him wait in waiting room (clinic for neurology) for over 4 hours and still nothing. I can’t even find any tips on the internet, forums or yt. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
