View source for Dirty

Becoming {{Status|Dirty}} is one of the primary dangers of early ''Mush'' games, as the agents of [[Mush]] are guaranteed to become ''Dirty'' while performing their shroomy deeds. This naturally puts suspicion on anybody caught with less-than-perfect hygiene. [[Characters|Crew members]] will be expected to report exactly how and why they've become ''Dirty'', and are advised to avoid it in any ways possible. Certain crew members are even expected to ''never'' be dirty due to the clean nature of their roles.

== Measures against Dirtiness ==

Holding the {{Item|Stainproof Apron}} will protect you from most actions that can make you {{Status|Dirty}}. (see [[#Causes of Dirtiness|below]] for a specific list)

To remove the {{Status|Dirty}} status from your character, take a {{Equipment|Shower}} in either of the {{Room|dorms}}. If both showers have been dismantled, an '''emergency shower''' will be available in the {{Room|Refectory}}, which can only be used once a day.

Showering takes '''2''' {{AP}} in regular showers, or '''3''' {{AP}} in the emergency Refectory shower. Holding either {{Item|Soap}} (or {{Item|Super Soaper}}) reduces the cost by 1 {{AP}}. The Super Soaper will also remove 1 {{Status|Spore}} from your body when you shower.

== Adverse effects of being Dirty ==

{{Character|Finola}} loses 1 {{Morale}} for every cycle she spends {{Status|Dirty}} due to her {{Trait|Germaphobe}} trait, meaning that she should avoid being dirty at all cost.

=== Prohibited actions ===

Due to the dangers of the {{Character|Mush}}, the NERON AI prohibits {{Status|Dirty}} crew members from accessing a number of consoles. While dirty, you will not be able to perform the following actions:

* Working on [[Research]].
* Working on [[NERON Projects]].
* [[Astrophysics#Analyzing_Planets|Analyzing]] planets. ''(You can scan for planets, just not analyze them.)''
* Working on the [[Communications]] Console.
* [[Gardening#Actions|Grafting]] plants. ''(When trying to graft a fruit onto a plant, the plant must not be thirsty, dried out or sick, and the person doing it must not be dirty. If any of these things is the case, the plant will die and you will lose the fruit.)''

=== Permitted actions ===

Against NERON's better judgement you '''will''', however, be able to perform the following feats while {{Status|Dirty}}:

* Repairing the [[PILGRED Reactor]]
* Moving the ship using the [[Navigation]] Terminal
* Accessing the [[BIOS Terminal]] and changing NERON's settings
* Doing the thing
