ArtumisPrime Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm currently working on a base that has an exosuit exit to go and dig around in all the slime, polluted oxygen, etc. to my heart's content without worrying about germs or toxicity. However, it is really annoying to have dupes run around disinfecting every slime tile. Disabling them 1 by 1 sounds incredibly obnoxious. Seems like basic functionality. Why is this not a thing?

Nostas Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 that option would be great. otherwise use deodorizers, spam them there is lots of sand. dig up slime near walls, so that tile dont get infected every few cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolthulhu Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Because disinfection is a noob trap and you should just disable it globally, in the germ overlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtumisPrime Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Is it really? It's bad for things like outhouses too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outhouses will dirty dupes using them even if they're cleaned regularly. You still need a sink and a sink will handle all the germs it needs to. The outhouse itself is made of rock and so will never accumulate enough germs to require more than one hand washing after usage. There are some very rare cases where you may want dupes to disinfect buildings, but over 99% of automatic disinfection uses are a pure waste of time.

avc15 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 yup just disable disinfect globally. For the purpose of keeping dupes from getting sick, all you need is a couple wash basins exiting your bathroom, and a couple wash basins entering your food storage. That can be a sink coming into the kitchen or the great hall, whichever one your dupes retrieve food from at mealtime. You don't even need showers, except if you have a shortage of polluted water. Unless something changes there's very little benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only really should disinfect things like beds, mess tables, food containers, maybe oxygen diffusers/algae terrariums in case slimelung gets on them somehow. Most other stuff doesn`t matter. The outhouse gets the dupe germed anyway after each use. When emptied it drops polluted dirt full of germs as well. Anybody going in there should wash their hands after exiting so touching the dirty outhouse doesn`t make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avc15 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 hit 'i' for germ overlay, unselect "auto-disinfect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightinggale Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I would still like dupes to automatically disinfect certain areas. Rimworld has a "clean area" overlay where each cell can be turned on or off. Something like that would be nice to have here like if you start to mark cells for disinfect area, only the marked cells will be disinfected.
