Maternity Ward spawn-rate hotfix + Anesthesiologist XP floor adjustment
- Fixed a spawn-rate bug introduced in v4.8.0 that caused Premature Labour and Postpartum Haemorrhage cases to spawn at approximately 4× their intended frequency on busy servers — both illnesses are Severity 5 events and were never meant to be farmable rotations.
- Anesthesiologist bay XP floor raised: Anesthesiologist now earns a minimum of 200 XP/hr even on servers with fewer than 8 active players (was 165 XP/hr floor, mirroring the earlier Surgeon floor fix in v4.6.2).
- Maternity Ward entrance pathing corrected — a collision mesh error was preventing players from entering the ward from the east corridor on some server instances.
- Minor: Updated the in-game role description for Midwife to reflect the correct Level 30 unlock requirement (was showing Level 25 erroneously).
Community reaction
The spawn-rate hotfix was expected. After v4.8.0 launched, content creators immediately noticed both Maternity Ward illnesses dropping far too often — one streamer counted 11 Premature Labour cases in a 30-minute session, which is clearly outside intended rarity for a Severity 5 event. The corrected spawn rate makes those cases genuinely rare emergencies again. The Anesthesiologist floor raise is a quieter but meaningful quality-of-life improvement for players who grind that role on mid-size servers.
