Any way to purify badwater?

[LordChaos]

For my Ironclan playthrough, I decided to play on a map with 90% badwater in the hopes that i'd be able to purify it and have about mostly clean water. I want flowing clean water from previous badwater sources so hopefully that is possible.

nope, purification isn't available at all.

Thats a huge shame. I chose that map for the pure idea to purify badwater

Hopefully it gets added in, or someone makes a mod for it. I'd like to have this in the game too.

The mechanical pumps can pull out specifically badwater from a mixed pool. The concentration of badwater would lower over time as long as more isn't added.
But it does have to be mixed water. Pure badwater is just pure badwater.

Yeah sadly Im talking about pure badwater

You can turn it into explosives and essence, which is another useful resource with multiple uses. Can't turn it into pure water though.

build 3 large pools, one with the mixed water, one use mechanical pumps to fill with bad water one to fill with pure water.

direct excess badwater off the map.

you can get mostly pure water on the map, but you cannot get a badwater source to supply pure water.

It would make sense that the Centrifuge would product Extract with Water as an additional byproduct. Maybe make that an Ironteeth only recipe.

If there was some puddle that had badwater, then prevent it from being filled again so it dries up from droughts OR flood it with normal water... So like a flush.
If talking about source blocks, then cover it with one of the two buildings. I suggest making an aqueduct to funnel the flow of the map... Or if already close to edge of map but flowing the wrong way, redirect it with levees (preferably during droughts so no illnesses).

So I stumbled on this by accident, but I might have purified badwater. I had 8 badwater pumps in a 2x15 slough that was one block deep when I noticed the end was turning green. there are no fresh water that feeds into the pool so its not mixed.

In a sense, you don't want to completely purify badwater because you still do need it as a resource (and normal water sources can BECOME badwater during badtides)

This is a screenshot I took.

I get ya. I also started a game with no water expecting to be able to collect rainwater and drill down into the water table to create wells. I also started without trees expecting to be able to use plant fibre to build structures. I also spent hours and hours looking for where to build and train up my military to fight off enemies that might come. THen I spent hours looking for where I can build flying machines. Terrible game design, amirite

I read this thinking the devs added the ability to collect rainwater until I read the rest.

that could be a nice new beaver faction. one that survives and thrives even in badwater, through purification and contamination resistance
