Sink is a Medicine Building that cleanses Duplicants of Germs. Duplicants will use a Sink when passing by in the direction of the arrow, similar to a Wash Basin. However, Sinks do not have to be filled and emptied by a Duplicant and have a liquid input and output for Pipes instead.

Germs are removed from the Duplicant at around 20,000 germs per second while in use. This happens even if the action bar doesn't complete, which can be abused.

Sink has a Set Direction setting that determines which direction/s Duplicants will wash their hands when passing by.

Water usage

The Sink uses 5 kg of Water per use and converts it to Polluted Water. Water consumed and produced may be slightly higher for unknown reasons.

Duplicants are cleaned of germs even if the input Water contains germs.

Trivia

• The Sink used to share its texture with the Wash Basin. Before being retextured, the Sink lowered Decor by 10 in a 2 tile radius.
