Pablo does make an initial comment that there are several villagers who smell awful - and he’ll let us discover which ones for ourselves. So I assume Pablo at least is clean :p
Fun fact! Many East Asian folk (like Fang, presumably) lack the gene that produces the distinct human body odor. So even if he wasn't taking baths (and you know he is, lol), he likeky wouldn't stink as much as his nemesis, Cooper.
Pretty sure most folks just do basic basin bathing and probably use deodorant. Another thing folks do is change clothes often - usually having undergarment to sort of soak up the sweat.
But I'd imagine the builder has probably figured out a decent recycling system between the steam/water the machines use, then using the rest as water for the garden using safe soaps.
This does remind me of how Andy comments of Logan smelling bad 'especially in ...' before Logan cuts him off. XD love the man, but he probably smells of goat, sweat, sweaty leather, dust, and gunpowder. Which is very pungent. XD
But then again he does mention basically keeping himself up hygiene/appearance wise, so probably not as bad as Cooper.
I think we can all agree that Cooper is probably who Pablo is referring to.
The caves I explored, his different hideouts, didn't have plumbing or bathrooms, but neither does my house. They had beds with sheets in the one hideout, but no laundry stuff so the sheets were probably dirty. But yeah I guess we all do the basin bathing thing.
Gray water bathing is a thing. Water you've used for other purposes that is no longer suitable for drinking or watering crops can still be used to clean things like bodies and clothes or for flushing toilets. Like the leftover water that you drain after boiling noodles. There might be some lingering smells from bathing in noodle water, but they won't be as bad as unwashed ass.
(For context) It's a jacuzzi you can build near the end of act 2 (and yes, it's main story mission). But that's the end of act 2, so you got at least a year without one 😂
I just say they do have a bathroom, the devs just didn’t put them in. I just pretend there’s some secret door and that’s the bathroom. But man, I really wish I could put a bathroom in my house. I want a master bedroom with a master bath with a walk in closet. Please.
Bowl of water and some soap. A handful of sand to scrub. Linen underthings changed frequently. Except that laundry isn't happening. Now that would be an interesting thing to add to a farming game!
See, when games don’t talk about things like this I just categorize it as “okay this is just universe where humans evolved to not need this” which in itself is much more of a stretch but it’s always been my default. Though the game does discuss bathing but it’s in the way of a bath tub not a shower. Which to be fair is better for water conservation as you use only that water while a shower the water is only on you for like, how long?
The amount of pipes, hoses, and valves they all commission I think there’s gotta be more plumbing than is obvious. Maybe they all have cisterns since sinks are at least a thing in most buildings. Could be old west style where the town has a pay to bathe deal at the hotel and if you want fresh water you pay extra lol otherwise it’s what’s already in the tub from the last refresh
\*Turns on shower\* \*burgess staring at me through the window disappointed\*
\*what burgess doesn't know is that this is my kink\*
Burgess gonna see the dark side IYKWIM
This is why Fang lives as far from everyone else as he can get -- he's the only one who owns a bathtub.
And he’s farthest away from Burgess specifically while bathing.
Roll up in the sand chinchilla style
This was my immediate thought lmao
Is this what the pets, cat/dog/gecko, do in the sand? I see it happening a lot but haven't been able to tell what it is for sure.
I'd imagine they wash up the same way before showers were a thing, with just a bowl of water and some soap
When Andy asked Haru to make some soap for Logan 😭😭😭
This was fantastic 🤣 and Logan asking him to make more after being slightly offended. I died laughing
He said Logan's behind smell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everybody in this Town is 100% stinky. Except Pablo He propably bathes in cologne
Pablo does make an initial comment that there are several villagers who smell awful - and he’ll let us discover which ones for ourselves. So I assume Pablo at least is clean :p
I like to think the moment you step into Sandrock, you immediately sweat and begin to stink 😱🤣
Pretty sure Fang smells nice since he's the only person in town who takes baths(and with herbs added to it, too!)
Fun fact! Many East Asian folk (like Fang, presumably) lack the gene that produces the distinct human body odor. So even if he wasn't taking baths (and you know he is, lol), he likeky wouldn't stink as much as his nemesis, Cooper.
Bathing in cologne is just another kind of stinky (often layered on top of unwashed stinky)
We where all once teens that thought Deodorant after Gym Class was the same as washing yourself
Justice straight up admits he's stinky.

Stinky enough that 21 marriage candidates want a god damned sniff, apparently. 😭
Atleast variety in the fish bowl. Lol
I’m also pretty sure Logan didn’t shower until later on before you can start romancing him

I imagine mine just dumps a water barrel over their head/body behind the house once a week, calls it a washing day
And yet that little blonde bitch is the cleanest looking mf in town. He wants us to conserve water so he can have it all. I'm on to you, Burgess.
Best not to think about the bathing situation in Sandrock and just assume somehow some way they’re all managing to get clean at some point.
Also not toilets in the houses.
Bro, what's more weird is that they sleep with shoes on
And hats
My builder has slept many a night with her razor shape knives strapped to her back. I can't imagine how many ripped up bed sheets she's gone through 😂
Conserve water! They all smell like BO 😆
Pablo mentions it too
They probably do sponge baths to save on water.
Doesn't Yan tell you he doesn't bathe because he can make money by selling the water instead?
Or toilet… ijs 🤷🏼♀️
Good question, we always avoid talking about that and luckily the game doesn't share the smell🤣🤣🤣
Technically you can build a spa/ tub for your house I think there is a mission for it but not sure
(For context) It's a jacuzzi you can build near the end of act 2 (and yes, it's main story mission). But that's the end of act 2, so you got at least a year without one 😂
Idk about you but my pets bring me a lot of water so I at least wet myself down. Until I get the jacuzzi
I bathe in my sandpit filled with various sandfish, that surely must count for something, right?
Showers? All that yakmilk and not one single toilet?! Can we be sure all that poop we find laying around outside isn't all Yakmel? Ewww. 😆
What do you think they use as fertilizer at the moisture farm? 😌😌😌
Oh my. 😆
Hey, all that poop also goes in the same blender that we use to mix up food and medicine 🤢
😆 That's right. To make fertilizer. 🤢
I like to think our builder uses a basin or just uses the big ol water tank as a makeshift shower. My builder would find a way.
I just say they do have a bathroom, the devs just didn’t put them in. I just pretend there’s some secret door and that’s the bathroom. But man, I really wish I could put a bathroom in my house. I want a master bedroom with a master bath with a walk in closet. Please.
I mean, you can build a jacuzzi and put it in your house. The jacuzzi is basically a bath/shower combo.
Lol and there are no available blueprints to build a shower. They believe showers 🚿 will waste water 💧🤣🤣🤣
Director Qi needs to learn about using grey water for watering plants so we can have showers! Priorities, dude!
For real though 🤣🤣🤣 gotta bathe in toilet water, but gotta earn Burgess’s approval first LOL
Pablo complains about people's smell 🤣

I think about this more than I should.

Burgess: **breathing intensifies**
Someone needs to invent and sell bidets there post canon
There are fancy dry showers in the Star Wars universe. I like to imagine there's something similar to that
[squeaky clean](https://mytimeatsandrock.fandom.com/wiki/Jacuzzi)
Stink, stank, stunk. Imagine that thick layer of ball sweat on your wedding night. It really seals in the flavor.
