Windsock

"From its futuristic design, its top-notch transport system, and its boutique yoghurt vendors, I'm hearing a lot of great things about Two Point's first eco-city! I'll be sure to give it a visit the second I can figure out how to book a ticket via their online travel portal. Where do I find this portal? How do I get in? Lucky for them, there's nothing I love more than things I barely understand!"

- Ricky Hawthorn

Windsock is the third hospital in World 9 of Two Point Hospital, which requires the Off The Grid DLC. To unlock it, the player will need to reach Star Level in Old Newpoint. With the first appearance of Energy Challenge Mode, this hospital will require the acquisition of Green Energy Machines in order to directly control the electricity supply.

A new clinic illness, Glitchy Patch, will make its first (and only) appearance, along with Tech Support, in which it can be treated.

=Career Mode= ''So sorry that I wasn't able to make it - again - but as long as you're there I know that Team Windsock is well represented. That being said... Our stay in Old Newpoint has been another rousing success for the Department of Green Things. Now, to steal the deal with this final stop on the campaign trail. You're going to like this. It's time to cut the ribbon on our County's first eco-city, my gift to the people of this County: Windsock City!''

''Well, if the people won't build you a city, use their money to build one yourself! Only joking, of course. I mean, that is what I've done, but I don't mean it like that, you know? People can't take a joke... or the truth. People hate the truth. What am I saying. Bla-bla-bla. Anyway, good luck!''



Welcome to Windsock, the County's first eco-city and its most expensive thing to be named after, and founded by, the same person. The city has taken over the news, provoking questions like "How does this work?", "why haven't we done it before?" and "Who paid for this?". Say what you like about Tabitha, she really wants to get re-elected.

Windsock City doesn't rely on the usual means of power. Instead, you'll need to build green energy machines to stay switched-on and self-sufficient. Each of your green energy machines, whether it's a wind turbine, solar panel or hydro-dam, will increase the power capacity of the hospital. The power that you generate can be used to open rooms in your hospital, or allocated to the Patient Flow and Staff Applicants systems, to influence transport in and out of the city.

Green Energy
Reward:
 * Buy 1 Green Energy Machine
 * Build 2 GP's Offices
 * Cure 3 Patients
 * Open 1 Rooms

Remember, green energy isn't just for powering rooms, it also influences transport in and out of the city...

Allocating power to the Patient Flow system will increase the rate at which patients arrive at the hospital; while allocating power to the Staff Applicants system will increase the number of potential staff members available to hire.

Energy Challenge Mode
For the first time, the player will be required to manage the hospital's energy supply. This is achieved by acquiring various green energy machines, which are found on the map and purchased in the same way as plots. Units of energy are used for three purposes: keeping rooms open, increasing patient flow, and increasing staff applicant rate. A total of 119 units of energy may be acquired for use.

These machines come in various forms, shown in the gallery below. The table presented here shows how each type of machine will perform. Special attention should be paid to the Cost/Energy column, which details how cost efficient the type of machine is. A lower value in this column is better, and thus these machines should be purchased first.

Illnesses Encountered
Below is a list of illnesses that will appear in Windsock, and the rooms that will be required to treat them. Illnesses may arrive as a general admittance, on an emergency-only basis , or possibly both.

The icon, with a number next to it, represents how many patients can be expected if this illness appears in emergencies; it may be clicked on for more information.

Illnesses with a Star Level (, or ) next to them will only appear after that Star Level has been achieved.

Completion
''I've done it! I've been re-elected as Mayor of Two Point County. I couldn't have done it without you, so please make sure you feel well and truly responsible.''

''Sadly, the time has come to put an end to our green project. Sometimes we must have the courage to take one step forward, and wo steps back. The tide of public opinion has turned, and so too must my focus, to the next hot topic, if I'm to be re-elected again. That's right, I will not rest until the latest issue on everyone's mind has been resolved: the education of our County's dogs.''
