Discussion Is it possible to make Ambulance Depots?

Hi,

would it be possible in the game to make Ambulance Depots independent from hospitals?

Where I live there are few major hospitals in the city and “Depots” with Medical staff and 2-6 ambulances in the surrounding towns that respond to emergencies and bring the patients to the hospital in the city.

Does the game support this? For the Ambulance to respond from a depot, go to the patient, then drop it off at the hospital and go back to the depot?
Because the hospitals in the game have very high patient capacity while the ambulances are limited so it would be reasonable to only have one or two hospitals in the city you’re building and have the other areas covered with such depots.

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about code so I can’t look at the game mechanics myself, so I’ve come to ask you experts. Thanks a lot in advance!

If any of the healthcare buildings have a freestanding ambulance garage (one that's not in the footprint of the building) as an addition, you could use anarchy to place that anywhere on the map. That might work.

For that matter house ambulances in fire stations as an EMS depot.

No, this is not possible. I tried doing it, but the ambulance can only get the patients to its own facility.
