It is unlocked by successfully scanning a [Water Slug](Water_Slug) with a [Bioscanner](Bioscanner). Water Secretion is similar to the [Dermal Garden](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](Filtered_Water_Packet) will be placed in the player's inventory; water packets each provide +5 water. The water packets merge into one item and show the value of the total accumulated water. The player does not need to be underwater for the water packet to spawn.+Water Secretion constantly filters water while the player does other tasks. Every 3.5 minutes one [Filtered Water Packet](Filtered_Water_Packet) will be placed in the player's inventory. Water packets each provide +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](Water_Retention) biomod, which doubles the amount of thirst recovered from drinking water.
