- update to version 0.30
- Gameplay
* Change: You can now build more than one desk in the ward. More nurses means a slightly faster throughput.
* Change: Patients would previously queue outside toilets even though there were free loos since it was dependant on number of people in the room. Now, as soon as a loo becomes free another patient enters the room to use it, even if there is a long queue for the sink). If there is a queue for the sinks there is a chance the patient will leave without washing their hands - but will not be happy about doing this.
* Added: The ability to control alien behaviour - sitting, knocking doors, only to be available through emergency or arrive like all other patients.
* Added: Winning fax opens automatically and pauses the game.
* Added: Option to automatically accept wage increase requests when they "time out".
* Added: A new option allows for your average build content for each type of room to be remembered, so will be added for each new room built later.
* Fix: Doctors should get stuck less often, and handymen should not crash the game as frequently.
* Fix: It was not possible to replace a surgeon when a patient was in the room.
* Fix: Patients would sometimes get stuck inside a room when they should have died.
