DAMN... Finalfarkingily after 3 restarts managed to get 3 stars on Duckworth-upon-Bilge
this is a curveball level at the midway point of the game.
some tips for this level.
GO SLOW
Hire staff with no negative traits, try to get staff with positive traits.
Hire interns, Lord Foxbridge will give you quests to complete, which is the only source of income for this level.
do not do anything that is not requested by Lord Foxbridge ie; only upgrade machines, train staff, promote staff, etc,
when there is a quest given.
Income is from;
training staff (hire interns and train them accordingly)
promoting staff (do not promote without quest given, also, lower salary until they are just satisfied, do not promote without lowering pay.)
conducting marketing campaigns
upgrade machines
restock vending machines
watering plants
killing monobeasts
getting rooms to level 4 (when building new rooms, just do basics and get it to middle of prestige 3. Quests will pop up to bring them up to prestige 4.
to get 2 and 3 stars, the hardest part is Staff Morale requirement, because staff morale is tied to staff happiness which is tied to staff salary. I found that it is the least stressful on finances is to just give staff the minimum required salary when promoting them.
Only increased staff salary when you have "staff morale" requirement left to fulfill.
Due to the money constrain, do not expand your hospital until you have edited all the rooms at the start to their minimum size. You can squeeze in quite a bit of rooms by editing down the rooms given to you at the start.
