Hygiene unlocks at Haven level 4. A shower can meet it. A bathtub needs hot water, and hot water needs coal plus a boiler worker.
Bring-up order
- Confirm the Haven is actually level 4. A tub in a level 2 lodge does not create the need or satisfy it.
- Put at least one shower on a guest path if you need Hygiene covered today.
- Buy the coal mine at the rear black rock and assign a miner. See how to get coal.
- Buy a boiler from the shop, place it where you can see it, and assign a second traveler as the boiler worker.
- Confirm coal is being consumed and hot water is being produced.
- Place the bathtub on a path from the beds.
- Run one full visit before you buy a hot tub or a second boiler.
Players who buy the tub and boiler first sometimes have to remove them and start again at the mine. Do the mine first.
What each piece does
| Piece | Role |
|---|---|
| Shower | Hygiene without the coal chain. The right first bathroom. |
| Coal mine | Produces the fuel. |
| Boiler worker | Converts coal into hot water. Coal in a box does not heat a tub by itself. |
| Bathtub | Uses that hot water. Best hygiene once the chain is stable. |
| Hot tub | Same fuel rules, bought after one working bath loop. |
An April 2026 player short put the boiler at the supply stand for 600 coins. Check the live label.
If the bath stays cold
Check the miner, then the coal box, then the boiler assignment, then whether the tub is placed where guests can reach it. Wallpaper and a marble floor do not fix a missing worker.
Throttle the receptionist while you test. Auto-accept into a cold bathroom creates a wave of failed visits.
Layout
Keep the boiler out of the guest hallway and out of a sealed décor maze. Cluster showers and tubs near sleep rooms. Leave a walk to the rear rock, because Hygiene makes that trip routine. Stairs help that walk later. They should not consume the coins that hire the miner.
Before logout: miner assigned, boiler worker assigned, farms planted, acceptance no higher than a vacant host can serve.
