Is it normal for the Lite mode of this mod to include Water recovery system and Vac toilet?

That's awesome!
Thank you, Dubwise!

oh yeah i can add hydroponics to the WRS connectable list easy, if they have the fuel comp for water active, i actually forgot the option existed while setting up the WRS, there's lots going on

Or... just cheat!

Eliminate the hydroponics' water consumption altogether (or by the percentage of linked toilets) if a recycling facility is connected to both them and the toilets.

Just assume that the reclaimed water equals what is used by the hydroponics, minus a small amount 'for realism', and call it a day.

Thank you for your answer, Dubwise!

I certainly didn't mean to suggest simulating the full water cycle!
I agree that this would be ridiculously complicated - and is not even possible.

However, would this be feasible?
- The water consumption of hydroponics per day is known.
- The median(!) growing time of plants is known.
- The nutritional value of meals cooked with these plants is known.
- The nutritional value needed to fulfil each pawn's hunger per day is known.
- Finally, the number of bowl visits per day is known.

So, hydroponic water consumption and toilet usage are interconnected.

It should be possible to find a reasonable amount of water 'produced' with every toilet visit. An amount to offset the consumption by hydroponics without overshooting and therefore 'magically' creating more water than is consumed.
There is no need to keep track of the exact amount used at each stage.

Thank you for this mod. Whatever approach you take (if any), I will continue to enjoy using it.

There were problems after the update. I couldn't take a shower and the pawn pieces had a waiting bug.

the vac toilet doesn't use water, and showers and basins don't use water if you have the wrs, when it comes to everything else you just have to extract water from asteroids or the planet.

we cant do anything more than that since food isn't made with water, and adding water content tracking for every modded food item that exists plus adding water tracking to plant life cycle and a custom cooking system to track the water usage for a soup vs a burger is way out of the scope of this mod

Do hydroponics actually *consume* water (if this option is enabled)? I think they do.
If so, I believe a more efficient recycling system is needed.
Rather than ejecting waste into space, it should be collected and recycled to refill the water storage.

Of course, a certain amount of loss would be reasonable.
However, spaceships should be self-sufficient for a long time without needing to refill the water reserves.

Really cool update.

Nice update. Though throwing the waste out of the ship might be wasted fuel.

Would love water purification for 100% space base, as of now i cant find a way except going back planet side and hauling water to space

also, hot water post cooling might be appropriate for the hot water circuit, or maybe funnel it into a small steampowered power generator?

I have an idea, which I suspect requires c#, and as such is outside of my abilities

but
I would love if I could hook up the grav engine to to the water system and use it for cooling
I imagine doing this would:
1: speed up cooling post jump
2: disable the overheating event

is this feasible do you think?

I love the update!

Thank you so much for the update, the additions are amazing

@Otoya Ice, read the change notes

How does this work with a flying space ship now?
In fact how does something as thirst work since you can't have stored water on the ship to be refilled?

For some reason, sinks currently indicate that they should add to cleanliness, but detract from it instead.

The hidden pipes are failing.

是时候靠拉屎开飞船了

No problemo.

Thanks again for the update Dubwise!

@dan Thank you! I had deleted my configs to fix broken mods - I had forgotten it was a mod option!

@Caerbannog It is a mod option setting you can toggle in game in the mod options menu for the mod.

I wish I could figure out why my passive coolers no longer take water and went back to wood. I have no idea what mod broke it.

Ok, went to an asteroid in orbit and was still able to shower fine in my ship. False alarm based on Dub's wording hehe
Thanks again for the effort on the update.

This update is amazing, but by comparison, I prefer that patch for SOS2.It would be best if the anti-gravity core can provide a basic amount of water resources, say 100 liters, to meet the survival needs inside the spacecraft.

What a legend

You are an absolute legend!

An update and new content for the hygiene mod. Dubs truly is a god.

:( here i was living the life just digging wells and latrines in asteroids

Thank you!

I LOVE YOU DUBWISE

Awesome, thank you Dub

Thanks for all the hard work on this great mod!

Updated.

Water grid no longer generates in space
New ice grids generate on asteroids.
Added Cryogenic extraction node that needs to slowly heat up and melt the ice to pipe it, then if it loses power or breaks down it refreezes and has to heat up again.
Added 1000L single cell water storage tank.
Added Vac toilet which pipes to a sewage dump port to eject waste directly into space, requiring no water or sewage capacity.
Added Water recovery system which allows all connected showers and sinks to recover all the water used.
pawns shouldn't be able to do their business on the floor in a vacuum anymore, or use toilets or showers in a vacuum.

I believe you are thinking of ReGrowth that had bathing zones. It is in the process of being updated, so there is no need to add it to his mod.

Is there any chance you can add a 'bathing' zone. I have no idea what 1.5 mod gave this zone, but when playing in tribal times, starting technology for hygiene is any open water sources (marked by zone)

End conclusion- bathing zone should be in hygiene tab and available at animal tech level

Just checked to see if this mod was updated. Thank you so much for your amazing work on this wonderful mod!

I'd rather there just be an "upgraded" deep well that you put on the ship to draw water from ice than removing it totally. Or make it an option. Thanks for keeping your mods updated. Too used to playing with Hygiene now haha.

And also, thanks for creating and maintaining one of Rimworld's most essential mods over the years. They should really just add your mod to the base game, maybe the next DLC can just be called Industry or Infrastructure, and add all the pipe network mods.

Suggestions: Please remove water map from asteroids/orbital platforms so that water can't be pulled from space rock. Add a Transfer Contents feature to water storage devices similar to how Nutrient Paste Network or Chemfuel network Expanded mods allow you to transfer from one storage container to the other.

Secondary Suggestions: Add some kind of device similar to what Matt Damon's character from The Martian builds by burning rocket fuel in his oxygenator to create water. For balance it should burn chemfuel at a similar rate to a chemfuel generator (maybe a little bit less) and produce a fairly limited amount of water per day. Alternate options: Add ice asteroids (base game already has solid ice walls, but mining them currently produces no resources) that could be mined for ice chunks that could maybe be thrown into some kind of building with a hopper that melts the ice and adds it to connected network.

I would be fine with having to haul water back from the planet and needing to store it in space, and on the gravship.

@Drunken Eagle:
"... better to not introduce water-out-of-your-ass mechanics ..."
Well, actually, that's *exactly* how it works! ;)
In my previous contribution, I suggested sonic showers. This was a silly idea, at least as a single solution.

What we need is an actual water recycling system!
You know, recycling the waste liquids from your body. You could use the recycled water for hydroponics - I always use this mechanic - and yes, you could even drink it. (I don't use the thirst mechanic, though some might.)

This would give off serious 'Expanse' vibes and be awesome! :)

I love this mod and I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackle ship systems for odyssey. Thanks

been working on an update for the dlc

were gonna need one of those closed water filtration systems for odyssey

In my colony humans and animals do not drink, despite they sill need hygiene and to go to the toilet. So all in all they do not have thirst.

I don't think the bugs are worked out yet.

How does this work with the oddyssey's gravship?
