			{{Stationpedia\|Over time satisfying [[Thirst]] and [[Hunger]] of Stationeers will cause them to need to relieve themselves. the [[ODA]] recommends that Stationeers set up a [[Modern Toilet]] within their base after landing, requiring an atmosphere and [[Water]] to operate. This will output [[Polluted Water]] which can be recycled using a [[Water Purifier]] and then used for other purposes, such as [[Ingame_Guides_-_Growing_Food\|farming]] or [[Ingame_Guides_-_Thirst_and_Hydration\|drinking]].}}

	Separate from [[Hygiene]], '''Sanitation''' is a game mechanic which while currently having no impact is likely to introduce a medium-to-long-term need for a livable atmosphere on higher difficulties, while introducing an opportunity to substantially reduce water consumption rate by recovering consumed water.

Separate from [[Hygiene]], '''Sanitation''' is a game mechanic which while currently having no impact is likely to introduce a medium-to-long-term need for a livable atmosphere on higher difficulties, while introducing an opportunity to substantially reduce water consumption rate by recovering consumed water.

It's completely absent on Easy difficulty, and proxies off both [[Hunger]] mechanic for buildup rate as well as its own Sanitation rate multiplier. This makes it indirectly dependent on [[Mood]], with mood levels below 25% increasing sanitation demands by 10%.

Sanitation needs increase by 5%/hour, multiplied by hunger rate (after mood and offline metabolism multipliers) and sanitation rate. This need can be reset in a [[Toilet]] by consuming some water (which is converted into Polluted Water), with recovered water being multiplied by the sanitation rate multiplier.

On normal difficulty settings (100% hunger / sanitation rates) and assuming no mood penalties, the sanitation bar takes 20 hours to fill (60 in-game days), recovering 21 L of polluted water in the process (1.05L/hour, 0.35 L/day).

On Stationeer difficulty settings (150% hunger / 125% sanitation rates) and low mood penalties, the sanitation bar takes 9.69 hours to fill (29.09 in-game days), recovering 26.25 L of polluted water (2.707 L/hour, 0.90234375 L/day).
