[QUESTION] Project Hospital 1.2.22149 patch 36 installed no mods anymore MISSING CONTENT!

I noticed my issue at first when I tried to build and set up a general surgery clinic, the day shift staff wouldn't fill up and complete itself,  seeing that i was missing a Technician with Biochemistry specialization. That sounded like a Lab type of specialization but all the required rooms I had for the general surgery clinic or hospitalization did not include a Surgery Lab nor were there any prefab surgery labs, there was no lab room to assign the ground within the general surgery

I started to compare my game with screenshots from YouTube and noticed my UI looked different to the current release... I double-checked my version, and it was 1.2.22149 which is the current patch 36. Furthermore, I also double-checked screenshots from the project hospital webpage, and they match the YouTube Layout, but not mine.

My UI is the same as when i played it a long while ago.

I reinstalled it completely, and I removed all my mods, and then reinstalled it again for good measure, restarted my PC nothing.

At this point the game is non-functional as I cannot create rooms with the required staffing to open a new clinic.

what is going on with my game?

Hi, thanks for the message - but as far as I can tell, you actually have the latest/correct version and it's the screenshots/youtube videos that are out of date.

First, to address your issue and provide a quick fix: since more than a year ago, the labs have been a separate department with three types of labs that serve all other departments and therefore allow the hospitals to be more efficient, so building this department should satisfy all of patient's needs for lab tests. Just to ensure that existing saves wouldn't get broken, the original labs in the individual departments should still work if you have a very old save, but can't be built anymore. Also, no specialized departments require any lab staff, there are only optional units like Cardiography etc., therefore the 'Technologists' on the list, but the green zero value indicates this is optional.

If you still find any issues or have more details, please let me know, but according to your two screenshots from 1.2.22149 everything should be in order.
