I've been thinking about it lately, and I would like to add a restroom to my Zone Mortalis board. I don't remember seeing any references to how people...go in the grim dark future though. Any suggestions?

Mostly fairly basic - but consider who its intended for and their needs - the Imperium will almost certianly do the bare minimumm unless its for high ranking people - from what I haev read about military privies - they are usually very basic.. It also provides a useful punishment.

The Ork version- the Drops has been covered quite a bit in the lore - its a fairly dangerous place as thats where squigs both come from and ofen live, some of them get big with lots of teeth...

I imagine its just a vent or suction thing or toilet that just sucks the waste and stuff out into space. Can't see them storing urine and poo in the ship, that would take up room that would be better served by caches of weapons and missiles.

For marines their suits are their toilets anyway.

for everyone else its probably a trough everything gets collected and recycled back into food.

who says the imperium isnt green.

Don't they recycle urine on the ISS? I guess they would have to weigh the size of processing equiptment vs. Storage of the bulk goods.

Single ply toilet paper.

Doorless stalls, so that none may escape the unflinching gaze of the Emperor.

Gothic hand dryers.

Terminator torsos and Ultramarine logos.

Ooh! Rather than toilet paper you could have little copies of The Infantryman's Uplifting Primer

I will never look at these the same way again.

I am genuinely remorseful.

May the emperor forgive me.

Surprisingly, the Imperium is very big on environmentalism. They recycle pretty much everything that could be recycled. This most likely includes Human waste products.
Wouldn't want to spoil your hive world's pristine toxic wastes, now would we?

I picture stalls like you have in the US: with a pretty big gap between the door and the frame (haven't seen that anywhere else in the world), expect there's always someone watching through there to see if nothing heretical is going on in there.

It's all one-ply non-water soluble paper (no flushing). You get one sheet per visit.

more like 5 sheets per year

the emperors resources are sacred make the most out of every precious ply.

Look, y'all are massively overthinking this. The bathrooms in 40k are exactly like they are now, and you do your business exactly the same way. The only difference is that before you can use them, you have to receive approval from an Adept of the Officio Medicae confirming your need to use the restroom, undergo interrogation by an Administratum-attached Inquisitor to ensure that the act of using the restroom is not a devotion to Nurgle or any other form of heresy, receive your restroom assignment, in triplicate, from another Officio Medicae Adept, presenting one copy to the Estate Imperium for official record keeping, maintaining one copy for your own records, and presenting the final copy to the Imperial Guardsman defending the assigned restroom from the Xenos threat. The whole thing is extremely efficient, generally taking less than six solar months.

You own personal copy handily is printed on a one ply unflushable sheet!

If you do this don't forget to add the catachan face huggers. They do so like warm damp places, and looking a lot like face flannels just adds to the grim dark excitement.

For a Guardsman the toilet is in his trousers. Generally 5 secs within deployment to an active combat zone. Add heretic Astartes for additional bowel movement.
