Old Newpoint

"Since the school system has ceased teaching our apocalyptic origins and the founding of Newpoint, I shall have to pick up the slack. Newpoint was, of course, the first major settlement in our county, after the previous civilisation crumbled into the earth which bore it. Today, Old Newpoint stands as a symbol of a simple time; a time when people spoke to their neighbours, instead of rotten turnips."

- Sir Nigel Bickleworth

Old Newpoint is the second 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 Wanderoff. The DLC's green theme is in full effect here, as the level forbids the use of machinery for dispensing food and drink, with Self-Sustaining items to be used instead.

A new clinic illness, Distrawed, will make its first appearance, along with the Farmacology room, in which it can be treated. In addition, the Herb Garden makes its debut, a plant-themed multi-illness room in the vein of the Ward.

=Career Mode= ''The success of the community in Wanderoff has kicked things off perfectly for the Department of Green Things. It's shown the potential of the County when people are brought together with a common goal in mind: voting for me.''

''Next on the campaign trail, you'll be heading to Old Newpoint. There are lots of new, enthusiastic residents getting involved in traditional, green activities like gardening and... others. I'm told that they like the history of the place so much, that they're knocking down old buildings and replacing them with buildings that look even older. It's great to see people getting into the spirit of my campaign.''



Welcome to Old Newpoint, the original settlement in the current era of Two Point County. Though there is no way to know exactly what happened, a cataclysmic event brought an end to the prior civilisation in Two Point County. It was in Old Newpoint, then just Newpoint, that our foreparents founded life as we know it and began to build sheds, make wicker things, and establish our problems and traditions.'' ''Many of those traditions are practiced in the area to this day, for some reason... Yes, strange traditions such as herbal medicine and horticulture. The residents practice a root-to-stem approach, you won't find them munching on Cheesy Gubbins, so you'll need to keep everyone fed and watered by growing your own fruit and vegetables, and collecting rainwater. But the botany doesn't end there - no! - medicinal Herb Gardens need to be used to treat the region's most herbaceous afflictions. Get gardening.

Sustainable Sustenance
Sustainable items do not require maintenance by a Janitor, instead they will recover their function over time, allowing for further dispensing of food and drink.

Machinery is eschewed by the people of Old Newpoint, as are shops, for the purposes of sustenance at least. As such, the only food and drink dispensers available to place in corridors are the Rainwater, Carrots, Lemons and Tomatoes, the latter two of which are unlocked during this hospital. Specificially, the items unavailable are: It should be noted that the Café may still be built. In addition, room-specific dispensers, including the Coffee Maker, Hot Chocolate Maker, and the three platters from Healthy Appetite, are still available.
