O2Noob69420 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm building my base with nasty toilet water separate from the other polluted water so I don't have to worry about germs. I just checked on my water situation and there were some germs inside the "clean" polluted water. Is there a list of items that output germ filled polluted water? (I know lavatories do but I thought carbon skimmers and sinks output germ free water). Thanks in advance. Side Note: Do Hydrogen generators require germ free water?

Yoma_Nosme Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Did you use the water sieve and ran your skimmer with the filtered water? Water sieve makes water from ph2o but don't removes germs. Do you mean electrolyzer with hydrogen generator? Electrolyzer can run on germy water but they output oxygen with food poison germs. But don't worry. That's no problem. Food poisoning in air is not contagious and will die off pretty fast Btw. You can even water your plants with germy water. If your bristle berries have food poison on them they get removed when cooked. Same goes for any food. Mushbars as well. Just remember to uncheck uncooked bristle berries or other foods in the consumables tab on the top right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2Noob69420 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Im not making it back to clean water yet. I was told that polluted water only gets food poisoning from lavatories so I keep my bathroom water separate from the rest of my water. But when I checked in what should be germ free polluted water it had small amounts of food poisioning so Im thinking one of my buildings is outputting germy water and I don't know which one it is D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash70 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just remove the germs using a tepidizer then push it into a water sieve and get 40 degrees pure water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2Noob69420 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Im to early game for that yet and I tried this on my other colony and it went to hell. It seems a lot easier to keep them separate but I don't know which buildings produce germs and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMaybe Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 You can see germ sources in the germ overlay. A likely cause of contamination is a germy duplicant moving your clean water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2Noob69420 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 This is my whole water setup. Even after having a wash station right there and removing the scrubber from the loop it still pops up with germs. Is it just polluted water creates germs now or what. All that I have connected are sinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're sinks were going into the 'clean' ph20 then that's the most likely culprit. As others have mentioned, fp germs have almost no impact as long as you cook any food that used it.

Santhor Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yup thats your problem, you've connected your sinks, duplicants wash off their germs and thereby polluting the sinks water. Sinks, Washbasins and Lavatories all produce polluted germy water (wash basins in a bottle but its germy too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoma_Nosme Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's off topic. But i would suggest that you build the pipes as insulated! You are using water sieve to get water. Long story short. Your water is 30-40°C warm and runs through your base. It will heat it up in no time if it hasn't yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
