How to I get clean water into my canteen?

[Hon_Kale]

Just wondering if i missed a mechanic with the update.

Great question I was wondering the same thing. Also, how long does water in the pot need to boil to be clean?

I just waited until the lid pops.

I refilled my water flask with the rain collector. You can get clean water from boiling water or from the rain collectors. Remember to click the cog wheel to start boiling the water or else you will be standing there all day with nothing happening, hope this helps.

Anyone know if the flask and pot leaks have been corrected?

Oh duh. I've never used the rain collector. Thanks dude.

Unless things have changed since I last played and they added more mechanics, I always just filled my canteen up at streams and rivers. It never made me sick or anything.

Things have changed, all water is dirty now. You can fill your canteen from the turtle shell water collector or from the pot. To get water from the pot you have to choose "clean water" from the recipe list. Once boiled, you can drink it from the pot, save it in there for later or fill your canteen.

Mine aren't leaking but then again I never had that bug before the update so I'm probably not the right guy to answer that question.

FUn fact, the rain collectors freeze in the winter, even if inside next to 4 fires.

Seems like an oversight tbh

yeah, that is the one downside to the rain collectors. If they are placed indoors with a fireplace in the house they shouldn't freeze, hopefully they address this. At least if you are by a stream you can still just boil that water as needed in wintertime.

For sure, I built a lil winter home on a river specifically because of that

Yeah but it won't allow using the canteen on the pot after it cooked? The option is not showing up.

No idea, I have multiple pots so I basically have one on a fire, one in my inventory, and one on a shelf. You can hold a full pot of clean water in your inventory.

Edit: the Canteen is kinda useless since the hydration nerf imo. You only get 2 drinks from it and it only takes u to half full, drinking from the pot seems to give u 3 drinks, each drink refilling half your hydration, but I only briefly messed with it last night for like 20 min
