Any water bottles better than others?
Just curious. I usually use a bleach bottle as my water bottle- both cause it is a bleach bottle and because I assume it carries more at the cost of weight, but I've never actually looked into if theres a 'best' water bottle!

I mean for capacity alone, the bleach bottle is the best. I usually just carry 3 normal blue water bottles because I am a purist.

A bleach bottle is completely exchangeable with two water bottles - they have the same water/weight efficiency.

The whiskey bottle is technically the most efficient bottle - it carries 12 units of water for 0.7 weight, in comparison to the water / bleach bottle which are 10 units of water for 0.8 (and the bleach bottle just twice the values).

Is that so? The wiki mentioned the whiskey bottle weighing more than the others, has that changed?

The wiki is incomplete.
The wiki says a full whiskey bottle of water weighs 1.4 KG, although that's wrong, ingame it weighs .7 KG. It holds 12 units.
A full regular bottle of water weighs .8 KG, it holds 10 units.
A full beer bottle of water weighs .4 KG, it holds 6 units.
A full wine bottle of water weighs 1 KG, it holds 12 units
A full bleach bottle of water weighs 1.6 KG, it holds 10 units.

Given this, whiskey bottles are the best in terms of water capacity. Bleach is the worst.
This all came from testing I just did less than an hour ago, so unless a mod is changing it (none of the mods I have enabled in that save say they do), then these are likely the most up to date metrics.

Very nice! Perfect for what I was wanting to know. ^^ I've been torn on running anything other than a bleach bottle since I run high thirst, even though its heavy it makes life much easier. Might look around for a whiskey bottle here soon.
