Arqade Asked on March 22, 2021
Basically, I’ve noticed a few times a duplicant going by a wash basin and not washing their hands. That can be the case, obviously, if the basin is out of order — but I’ve seen it happen on other occasions.
Is this maybe a known bug (since the game’s still in early access), or are there certain reasons why a duplicant might not wash their hands?
What are all the reasons why a duplicant might go by a basin and not wash their hands?
Most likely the cause is that some other dupe is already using the sink/wash-basin. You should put in one sink per every toilet and set them all to be used only on one direction. That should solve your problem.

I found that if the toilet is to the right, and the basin is right next to it to the left, they just ignore the basin completely. So I solved it two ways: one is to put the toilet to the left, and the basin to the right, or to have some space between the two.

I know this is a bit of an older thread, but I just had this problem, and I was trying for a while to get my dupe to wash his hands when passing by the wash basin. I tried making it bi-directional, I tried "Move to" several times, and nothing. I was just about to restart the game when I noticed something, the basin tubes on the side - where you can see the blue (clean) and green (dirty) water, they were empty.
Should look like this:
But instead looked like this:
So clicking on the properties of the basin, I looked at the "Contents" and found this:
"Contents None"
I then realized that I had a priority of 5 on the basins, so they hadn't added water to them. I upped it to 9, and immediately someone went and got water, now I see this:
And then my dupe immediately washed his hands as he passed by the basin. It didn't say it needed any materials (much like a research station says it's waiting on water or dirt, or an oxydizer waits on algae) so I didn't realize they were dry.
Hope that helps.
