Hospital signs use a red cross on white, a Geneva Convention violation

Fixed

Issue description

The red cross is a protected symbol used by the International Committee of the Red Cross, it is protected under international law in all contexts and uses.

Use of it in a video game is a minor issue, I doubt anybody is confusing the in-game hospital with one ran by the ICRC, but contributes to watering down it's use during war time that can lead people to incorrectly assume a red cross just means medical rather than the ICRC.

other developers have also been caught out; https://www.pcgamer.com/how-the-prison-architect-developers-broke-the-geneva-conventions/

Expected behavior

An alternative symbol such as a green cross should be used

Reproduction steps

  1. build a hospital
  2. observe

Game version

0.4.12e

It's an illegality with the models rather than a bug so a save file makes no sense.On 22 Dec 2022 06:36, kenny @.***> wrote:
