The Superbug Initiative

''Collaborate with your friends, and the entire medical community, on cutting-edge research to discover unique in-game rewards. Head to the Superbug Network to get started.''

Introduction
Collaborate with other organisations on special research projects to discover technology and receive rewards. One star in Mitton University is required to begin The Superbug Initiative.

Local Superbug Projects
There are various projects that can be completed locally with Steam friends who own Two Point Hospital. These friends can invite the player to join their projects and the player can create their own local projects and invite their friends to join.

Research Trees for local projects are randomly generated each time. Meaning the nodes might be something different and the tree may unfold a new pattern. However the amount of organisations required to complete a node stage always remains constant.



Local Projects

 * Hair Removal 1-3 Participant(s)
 * Love Sick 2-5 Participants
 * Dead Weight 2-5 Participants
 * Cheese on the Chalkboard 3-5 Participants
 * Learning Machine Learning 4-5 Participants

Superbug Network
One global project and up to three local projects can be active at one time on the Superbug Network screen. In addition, each organisation may only have one Research Node active at a time.

Global Superbug Projects
On the Global Superbug Network Screen one can view the Research Tree for an active global project. The whole community will need to work together to complete a project. A certain number of organisations will need to complete each Research Node in order to advance down the research tree and find the Victory Node active at a time. Once a Victory Node is completed, a reward can be claimed.

Global research trees are fixed, unlike the randomly generated local projects.



Global Events

 * The Gyro-Nut (Beta) 50-220 Participants
 * The Gyro-Nut 300-3500 Participants
 * Meditations on Mortality
 * Creature Comfort
 * Nice Smelling Research
 * Healthy Appetite

Research & Victory Nodes
There are many different research nodes, with all varying degrees of rarity. All research trees build from the pool of research nodes available. Listed below are the collection of research nodes, what they require to complete.

Victory nodes mark the end of a research branch, completing an aspect of the research overall. Sometimes branches of the trees will lead to a dead end, which means that this line of research didn't yield any useful results.
