villagers and water?

[IIIHelixIII]

So I had two villagers and a waterskin i found. So they were fine until the waterskin broke and i added a third villager. Now I have the water icon in the corner of the screen. How do I give them water?! lol i have buckets of water but its not fixing the issue. Any help is appreciated!

The bucket should work if you place it in the food supply. If you don't have a food supply, you must place a bucket or waterskin in the chest of each house where the NPC lives.

The occupant of a house does not share with his neighbors.

There is a building for food chest. Food Hut.
If they still dont use it then place in house chest as suggested or in barrel next to water well.
Once they drink their water the emptied bucket is placed back into the resources shed chest where you take from and fill at well place into food hut chest.
All items show a detail below it when highlighted resources or Food.

Are you sure? Normally, the well-worker should fill empty buckets stored in the barrel. But villagers beeing able to drink from water-buckets stored in that barrel, would be a huge exception to all other buildings.

Only when all other storage chests are full.
I find it seems to also register in that barrel .
I've placed full buckets water even in the kitchen chest and cook uses them.
I could be wrong though with the villagers using them however from barrell next to well .

Do you have a well? you do not mention if you have.
Buckets need to be filled before they can be used by your villagers for water so you need a well where you can filled them yourself (you need to carry the empty buckets) or employ a villagers to work there in which case the empty buckets need to go into the resource storage or the barrel at the well.
If you have a food storage, put filled buckets in there.
If not put them in your villager's houses.

The kitchen can use full water-buckets for some recipes. Also, it can use roasted meat stored there to make meat-pie. But your villagers shouldn't be able to eat this roasted meat from the kitchens chest. You'll have to put it in the Food-Storage or a Houses chest.
I think, for the well it's the same. Empty buckets stored in the wells barrel can be filled by this well. But the well can't do anything with already filled buckets.

If you don't have a well, you can fill the bucket / waterskin your self at any water source, river, lack, stream...

Good to know, never had the need so far. Thanks.
