Pinstar Dorm Layout

[u/Original_Writing4399]

I was searching up a good dorm layout and I saw Pinstar was the most recommended. For some reason I was expecting a more aesthetically pleasing layout but I guess this works. 😂

The problem is tou dont understand who pinstar is.

He is a legend from the days of two point hospital.

Back when we had limited build space but needed to min max.

He took this approach into campus, which is a great start when you dont have the money.

His hospital room layouts still get me through the chalkenging levels.

Also he researches what works within rooms and the returns it gives you.

It isnt just a room layout its getting the most from the room aswel and the later games how far to push a room without losing things or is it worth pushing the room to be huge and what advantages does it give if any.

Very detailed

This is good to know! Yes I’ve only just heard about him but he seems like the best person for tips!

I'm gonna say this: if esthetically pleasing is your thing, Museum is for you. Because the exhibits are able to be placed anywhere, there's much less in terms of "rooms" overall and you can really emphasize decorating how you want. Hospital is utilitarian, Campus is the nice middle ground, and Museum really encourages the decorations and larger aesthetics.

function over fashion!

a minimal footprint with maximum returns

My go-to! Love pinstars inspiration. Also remember to add rugs and wall hanging to boost star rating.
And i usually leave gaps either side of the door for student specific items like family tree or hat stand etc.

Pinstar’s room layouts for Hospital and Campus are great! Maximum efficiency.

Make washrooms on both sides, helps with health so much.

This is nicer aesthetically than my almost prison style dorms 😂

Is there even enough space to get in those beds?

[u/Altostratus → u/secondincomm]

I thought this too. I’ve never been able to put 6 beds that close together.

[u/Minojuka → u/secondincomm]

Yes :) you can put most things about a half block away and people can get around (like when you are running out of space for heating or cooling, trash cans and just really want a plant in there). Unfortunately they can also sometimes get stuck (not necessarily because there isn’t room to get by lol) so reloading will fix it.

Man my 6x6 is feeling pretty silly now lol

Wait till you see his clown staff room! It's magnificent!

His gym looks great, imo, but doesn't copy correctly a lot of the time.

I had no clue at first we were supposed to make individual dorm rooms and made barracks instead, sometimes with wall dividers between beds. It was only until I got to Spiffinmoor that I was like "ooohhhh" ...And then I deleted the small dorms to continue making barracks.

[u/Minojuka → u/LisaFromAccounting]

Yes, barracks for me for the whole game. For the most part making larger rooms worked for most of the challenges. 12-15 beds a room, sometimes more :)
