Drink Water

[rwh39407]

How do I drink water? I have placed the lake but I can not drink water

You can drink water by hovering with the mouse over the "circles" on the water and then holding F. You can only use the "water circles" once per day. I think

Thank you!

also right now the game completely respawns all the land tiles when you load the game. I had trouble getting beeswax and water so just log in and out 2 or 3 times and you should have plenty of resources. I also had the water issue at first.

And this is a problem. either resources a finite . naturally regrow in some cases, but logging out should not enable ressource respawn.

On the contrary, having a lake a disposal and not being able to gather more water is also a problem and can die quickly of thirst...

i like the game but the water only at the fishing spots thing is crazy to me, like i'm sitting here, at the edge of the lake , dying of thirst and i can't drink any of it ... WHAT?

I too had a great deal of difficulty gathering water. It seems like the lake side only allows you to get two water spots and then two days to respawn a water spot. Logging in/out is the only way to not die of thirst at this point. Hoping for more there. :)

They should have a system that enables gathering water even if then it needs wood to be boiled (for health reasons) before being drinkable.

Well that's great but how can we do that with a controller ?

I agree, that is complete nonsense

The berry cobbler is a more reliable source of water since it's 3 berries (one bush worth) and you can get quite a few made from a single log on the fire.

The lakeside swirls only give a single water every two days and the thirst meter goes down faster than that. Lakes themselves seem to be there for future content so what I did was place a couple of lakesides to make a pond closer to my cabin and let the meter drop more than I normally would in a treepuncher.

There is a well from the t3 bench but that only gave one water and by that point I'd run the demos content so didn't sleep and see if it was once per day.

Berry cobbler is not sustainable long term with how many berries it needs and how many you get. I don't know the regrowth timer on berry bushes, but i ran out of berries quickly enough to die of thirst. It also does not replenish enough water that you will end up thirsty every morning.

Water must be gatherable from the lake / rain and should be boiled as a trade off.
obviously it isa game in the making but they will have to think of long term sustainability of all resources.

A better source of water is the Mushroom Soup (3 mushrooms) however it is not sustainable like the cobbler. What I did to overcome the water issue was just get several lake sides and place them down on the map and collect as much water as possible, I managed to get close to 10 water from that, granted by that time I had already almost finished the content in the Demo. However, I agree, it is a bit annoying to deal with that constant thirst for a while in the game

you should be able to drink water at any spot around a water source. Doesn't make sense that you can't. Also doesn't make sense that you can do only once. Should be able to drink as much as I want.

I don't have a problem with getting water from the lake spots, I've seen worse game logic, but the main issue is that some things actually don't have a respawn mechanic atm unless people perform the relogging trick. The beehives is one example, but the water spots also won't respawn naturally if you consume them entirely by taking both water and fish from them. Hopefully the need to log in and out won't be necessary in the actual game.

[Mr. Fibble]

I noticed that if you fish first then the water option goes away, clearing it wasn't a problem with them coming back after 2 days/sleeps
