Showers and Sinks

[Nyota Mwuaji]

why cant i assign showers and sinks to specific duplicants like you can the toilets and beds?

I don't know why, but mostly it doesn't matter. You can use door access controls to create a private restroom per dupe if you want.

Why do you want to restrict access to sinks?

A sink isn't a building dupes seek out to wash their hands (unlike a bed or lavatory) but a quasi checkpoint where dupes wash their hands if they happen to walk past.

was just trying to make personalized bathrooms for each dupe is all, but without being able to assign showers and such, they don't use the one in "their" bathroom

I have found that if a personalized bathroom is made they mostly use their own showers/sinks if you assign them a toilet because they have to use the sink and are right next to the shower.

I did assign a toilet, yet they keep using random showers. I suppose it doesnt matter in the long run though. I just wish you could

You can always force dupes to use showers by locking them in the bathroom by using automation:

Proximity sensor detects a dupe entering the bathroom and after dupe uses lavatory for 7s the room gets locked and dupe's only choice is to take shower. It stays locked for next 18s. Dupe finishes showering and doors open.
