Water Secretion


Water Secretion is a passive Biomod that provides a passive source of water. It is unlocked by successfully scanning a Water Slug with a Bioscanner. Water Secretion is similar to the Dermal Garden biomod, but it provides passive water instead of food.

Utility

Water Secretion constantly filters water while the player does other tasks. Every 3.5 minutes one Filtered Water Packet will be placed in the player's inventory. Each water packet provides +5 water. The water packets merge into one item and show the value of the total accumulated water. This is capped at +30 water per packet. If a player is currently holding a packet that is at the capped +30 water, no new packets will generate until the capped packet is either consumed or leaves the player's inventory by some other means.

• The player does not need to be underwater for the water packet to spawn.
• Water Secretion can effectively halve the rate of dehydration, as in the time that it takes to produce each packet (+5 water), the player dehydrates by 10 (-10 water).
• The effects of Water Secretion are very similar to the Water Retention biomod, which doubles the amount of thirst recovered from drinking water.
