x4550 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 There should be a limit on how many showers dupes can take per day (1 or 2 max). Given the opportunity, they will shower every time they set foot in polluted water or become "grimy" (which takes less than a minute... and even happens while they sleep...?)

BlueLance Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Its a very roundabout way but you could set your system up to allow only enough water into the pipes for all of your dupes and once its emptied then that is the shower period done, and once it is night have the pipes fill up again. I seen a thread that only used power for things during the night which could be implemented. You could use this to fill the pipes at night. I will post it when I find it for you. This is the thread I mentioned, if it works out well enough the pump will only fill the pipes at night!

brummbar7 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Seconded. Just have a simple UI for the shower. Default is 'unlimited', or the player can specify perhaps 1-5 daily showers per dupe. 3 hours ago, BlueLance said: Its a very roundabout way but you could set your system up to... That's all well and good in this early-access-moment, but the game plan long term shouldn't require players to learn every goofy gimmick imaginable to do basic stuff. The player shouldn't have to have a dedicated dupe that just acts as a living timer.

LeadfootSlim Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If the massage tables have a setting, there's no reason not to do the same for the showers. I do like the idea of playing the stingy landlord and just shutting off the water, though...

BlueLance Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I totally agree with you as that is difficult for a player to do especially for something basic like that. To be honest if you are stingy with your pumps etc you can get away with using water etc with less pumps, many people underestimate how much water those dam things can soak up.

I had a full-on locked shower room and manually did shower time every night for ~5 cycles, but that got old.

Kasuha Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Heh. I came up with an idea for automatic doser/timer. It makes controlled doses of one kind of water using the other kind of water as blocking medium. It looks like this: Polluted water is circulating in the right part, controlled by the valve. The middle bottom pipe is collector, when it gets full the water starts going through the middle upper pipe and blocks out the polluted water, releasing the stored water on the way. When done, polluted water will again block the output.

Nidhoggur Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Well, instead of taking up 34 tiles, this system could take up 1 or 2 if Klei actually makes a timer device for this.

It's absurd how long showers take. If there was a grimy-ness scale (0-100%) then you could set showers like massage tables.
