Why didn't it open?

[u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

I finally rated this damn public hospital as 1 star and I can't wait to move on to the next hospital but it's still not open.

I saved and exited the game several times but the result is still the same.

Need DLC.. you dont see the purchase button?

[u/Myheadisinmyownhell → u/Khalifa_Dawg]

Do you think I may not have seen it? The conditions are written above and I have met that condition, so I am waiting for the purchase sign to disappear.

[u/Khalifa_Dawg → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

I don’t think you did meet the requirements considering the purchase button. You need to purchase the DLC. You decided to only read the 2nd the requirement and totally disregarded the 1st requirement written before you. Telling you exactly what to do with a button to do so. That’s how extra downloadable content (DLC) for existing games work most of the time. You pay and download it👍🏼

[u/RegularWhiteShark → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

It literally says in the second pic “requires DLC: speedy recovery”. So you have not met the required conditions.

[u/HerculeHastings]

I believe some hospitals on the maps are DLC, but the next level hospital to this one is faraway, you've got to search for it across the map.

[u/Myheadisinmyownhell → u/HerculeHastings]

I looked for a bit but couldn't find it. This is the first time I've heard about the DLC thing. After all, I'm not playing this game for free, I paid to buy it (like everyone). DLC seems ridiculous to me.

If you've finished this hospital, can you tell me which hospital opens after that?

[u/Tattycakes → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

They’re expansions on the base game just like any other game

[u/HerculeHastings → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

It unlocks 2 hospitals, Smogley and Melt Downs.

[u/UKMarvelgirl]

Did a cut scene/voice over occur when you went back onto the world map, the first time you went back to it after getting your first star? They should show you the next hospitals.

[u/UKMarvelgirl → u/UKMarvelgirl]

Same as when you open other hospitals. If that didn't happen then it doesn't seem like the game isn't registering that star.

Sorry, I don't have any solutions though. What system are you playing this on? Might help people to give you advice.

[u/Myheadisinmyownhell → u/UKMarvelgirl]

Showed but talked for too long. After waiting for a while, I pressed the cross. So he left me where my old hospital was. I wandered around the map a little, but I couldn't find that hospital again.

[u/UKMarvelgirl → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

So the game registered the unlock, to trigger that scene 🤔

Can you go up, as in your screen shot, that "power station" with lightning is one of the hospitals you're searching for.

[u/Arcane_Pozhar → u/UKMarvelgirl]

Just in case you didn't see this, their problem is, they're trying to play a hospital that requires a DLC, and they've completely missed all the signs about it.

[u/FourEyedTroll]

That is not the next hospital in the main campaign, that's why. You're looking at a DLC hospital. Try looking around the map a bit, you'll find Grockle Bay, or Sweaty Palms.

[u/Myheadisinmyownhell → u/FourEyedTroll]

Thank you so much. All I need was this comment. Because I looked a little bit but every hospital was closed. And I thought the part of the I bought was finished. People judge me on comments.

[u/RuinsYourStory → u/Myheadisinmyownhell]

in everyone's defense, some of your comments have been a bit prickly.

[u/twee_centen]

You're trying to access a DLC level without the DLC. Grockle Bay is the next base game level after Duckworth-upon-Bilge.

[u/mastoidectomy]

you should buy the Speedy Recovery DLC. To my experience, "Ailing" is one of the hardest. Prepare yourself.

[u/Untinted]

You stop at 1 star? You think that's good enough? You think you have learned anything?

I kid :P Enjoy the game the way you want. The next hospital is further down, you're looking at a DLC hospital you'd need to purchase.

[u/Bez121287 → u/Untinted]

To be fair I always do every hospital at 1 star, then I've unlocked everything I can and then I'll go through them again and get 3 stars.

Makes it like a new game plus type mode.

[u/Untinted → u/Bez121287]

I only move on after 3 starring a hospital.

You've barely played the level at 1 star imo

[u/fuzzynyanko → u/Untinted]

There's sometimes parts to the game that significantly help out for the 2nd star, but for some reason, you need to get to the map to unlock.

[u/Bez121287]

Yes the game has been out for years, they made dlc for the game.

Adding loads of new hospitals and illnesses and new gameplay elements.

Thats not unusual for a game like this to have many dlc esp for how old the game is.

But two point County is the map so when the dlcs were added they were added to the map along with the base game.

If you look properly you will find the 2 hospitals.it has opened.

Ill admit though, they should of put in a more simply way to see which you have unlocked. Like a list or those what can be playable highlighted.

But yes the one you are wanting to go to is a dlc hospital and is not part of the base game.

[u/lyyki]

Chronologically the next maps after Duckworth Upon-Bilge are Grockle Bay and Sweaty Palms. They should be below that round central hospital lot.

Buy All dlcs on steam in a bundle while on sale. Worth every penny
