Can i drink and eat at the base for free?

[GeileSockeAltF4]

Or do I have to buy every single drop of water to get hydrated at the base?

You have to buy everything, but food/water doesn't deteriorate when you're in the bunker.

Unless you sleep

Yup, gotta buy/loot/craft all of your food and water. Which is how it should be, in my opinion – it's a big part of the survival aspect of the game.

However, I do feel that water is kind of sparse in the game's loot economy, so for the most part, I end up buying all 3 water bottles off barman every time his inventory refreshes.

But overall, it's nice that there's some degree of challenge involved (until you enter the mid- to late-game stage, where you have more money and loot than you know what to do with).

Early in the game, you should buy all water and milk from the barman every morning. If you do not eat food that reduce your "thirst", this should be more than enough to get your through your day. You should also loot, or consume if you can not carry it, any water found in the raid. I love to take with me Coke, orange juice and energy drinks.

It's only constant in the early game. As you progress, you'll find that you have a water surplus. The real turning point is when you build your kitchen so you can convert dirty water into fresh water for cheap.

I have a supply of water and food to last me at least 4/5 in game days without having to buy/craft anymore. Then, I have thousands of pieces of scrap food which is used to craft food/water. It is only slightly difficult in the beginning to keep your food/water stocks up, but if you play smart in the early game, food and drink won't be an issue unless this is the very first game you have played that has survival mechanics. It's really not that hard.

I've been in the forest a lot trying to knock out some quests, usually can find 1 bottle of water in the north and south side buildings of the village, your mileage may vary depending on RNG.

[Mut389]

well everyday buy 2 dirty water and craft it into water, buy a milk, and a regular water, thats 3 drinks per day at the safehouse, plus whatever you find in the wastes. Also, find Igor, he usually has at least one drink or more. Also, dont drink 1% more than you have too. Just a waste of a resource. Once you start geting your carry weight up and better guns, drinks wont ever be an issue because you will be looting longer and looting more.

Will be nice if there was a rain harvesting setup at Igor house, so if is raining on the map it will drop one or two bottles of water... It will help to stock some resources plus will add even more excitement stressing you while hauling 20 kilos of water back to the bunker crossing the forest with the wolfs, boars, mutants, radioactive fires, and bandits on the way!!!!
