The recreation buildings are hardly ever used

They seem to work just fine for me... Do you have enough downtime in the schedule so dupes can use them?

Hmmmm... 

In fact, at this very moment almost all of my dudes are near the base (all the tasks are not far away). I have 2 points in downtime. That should be enough as far as I'm concerned (it used to be). Another thing is that I use the mod for the extra mode in the schedule. Maybe it doesn't work correctly with other schedules. Thanks for letting me know! The problem is apparently on my side. 

When I figure out what the problem is, I'll post.

I'm not sure if 2 points will be enough for them to use multiple buildings.. I usually put 4 points after a couple of "starvation" notifications (dupes take too long to reach base and they either eat or pee before sleeping). I also noticed that morale bonuses don't stack so if a dupe uses a recreation building it can't be used again until the morale bonus "expires".

I hope you find what's causing it and let your dupes enjoy their recreation

The thing is that in Vanilla I used 3, maximum 4 downtime slots and it was always enough even in situations where the dude had to run half a map to the base. Now I find that by increasing the downtime to three slots, dudes manage to use recbuilding at the very end. In fact, they end up using recbuilding in the second sleep slot. And that's assuming that the mod gives them time to safely finish the last errand and return to base (the problem was not in the mod). That is, they start doing "their business" inside the base.

The base, meanwhile, has lighting, plastic floors and ladders. That is, travel time is reduced to a minimum. 

This is their usual way:

They perform all these actions in 3+ time slots. And I have a clear feeling that they used to do it faster.
