Dirt

Dirt is the major source of danger in. It makes players who touch it dirty, leaving them vulnerable to become a cocoon upon a second contact with it. Important to note that a character playing solo can touch the dirt up to three times before becoming a cocoon. Dirty players can become clean again by using the shower or if another player throws a bucket of water on them, although recovering from the cocoon state is only possible with a shower or by placing the cocoon in the recycler.

Although aliens are the source of dirt, grabbing a stunned alien will not make the player dirty. Dirt may also come from abandoned food and from unpowered and unpopulated rooms.
