The hygiene meter kind of stinks

[Spyritdragon]

I understand the frustrating in hygiene as a mechanic, but I also feel like it adds a solid bit of immersion to the RP experience for me. Once you know where the showers are, they're honestly not too hard to get to, and I like the fact that I'll notice I've been in the engine room and nothing but the engine room for too long when my character gets stinky. Not necessarily even for encouraging RP but very simply because it makes me feel more immersed and like my character is a real person on a real space station.

I do think some expansion could definitely help make it more fun though. I love the idea of the freshly-laundered clothing buff keeping your hygiene crisper for longer (and maybe lasting a bit longer than it does now). It'd be a lot easier to get too if you could lock the laundry machines so you dont have to worry about your gear getting stolen.

Things like a handheld can of deodorant come to mind that you can keep in your backpack like a snack to postpone how long you'll have to take to get a proper wash sound cool. I do have to admit I'd be sad to have it become the same as food/drink where most of the station population just goes up to a vending machine 2-3 times a shift to wolf down two plates of fries the fastest humanly possible and moves on with their shift, but I also think it'd be nice to have a few more sinks that are accessible to the general public scattered around.
