## Description

Being in a suit with the helmet closed is a surefire way to have your hygiene drop, and hard suits are especially bad. Opening your helmet will slow your hygiene from getting worse and getting out of your suit will allow hygiene to naturally refresh over time. You can also construct a [shower](/wiki/shower) and supply it with water  to instantly refresh your hygiene to higher than default levels.


Hygiene has no direct effect on a character's attributes but will affect the [mood](/wiki/mood) of the characters once it drops too low.


## Notes

- Fully showering will give a bonus amount of hygiene past what you get from other forms of improving hygiene.
- Mood recovery is slower if hygiene is low.
