They work pretty similarly to power conduits, except they transport water. These are what connect all the components of your pipe system together.
water filtration (like a septic tank or sewage outlet)įor more detailed information, read on! RimWorld Pipes. To put it simply, a good plumbing system needs: RimWorld Plumbing Different buildings that can be used in plumbing systems. The smart toilet and power shower both provide mood buffs when colonists use them, but are expensive and require further research than the others. The later builds do require a pipe system, but will pipe away and pipe back water automatically, making it easier on your workload.Īll builds connected to a pipe system may occasionally become clogged and require a colonist to go and unclog it. Once in a while your colonists will have to manually unload fecal sludge from the latrine and fill the water tub with water from the nearest source by hand. The latrine and water tub do not require a pipe system and function manually. At the top are the most basic and at the bottom, the most advanced (with the exception of the bathtub and basin). Pictured are the different structures you can build to fulfill colonist needs. Later ones will require research, and the very latest ones are so luxury that they actually provide a mood buff when used (outside of the normal mood buffs like “clean”). To remedy this, you can make increasingly effective buildables that will fulfill these needs. This is not ideal, as you cannot pick where water sources are on your map (also groundwater can be contaminated, something we’ll visit later in this guide), and your colonists get a mood debuff from going to the bathroom in the open. In the early game, colonists will fulfill these needs by bathing in the nearest water source, such as a lake or a river, and going to the bathroom out in the open. There is also an optional “Thirst” need that can be enabled in the mod settings, however this need can be fulfilled at any water source, which you will already have to fulfill your colonists’ hygiene needs anyway. This means your colonists will have to periodically use the bathroom and wash themselves, respectively. With this mod comes new needs, mainly Bladder and Hygiene. This guide won’t be teaching you how to troubleshoot any bugs or create addon content or anything like that. The goal of this guide is to get you started with Dubs Bad Hygiene and teach you how to set up the various systems at play. So I decided to whip together this guide to getting started, plus a little extra information on some of the cool things the mod adds.īefore we start I’d like to clarify something. For some the task of setting up all the plumbing may seem a little daunting, but once you know everything’s purpose it’s not difficult at all. When I first got Dub’s Bad Hygiene I had a lot of trouble finding resources on it.
