Balancing flasks

[KolKaras]

The tegu flask weights too much - or the bamboo one not enough. 1 full tegu flask with 40 liquid weights 3kg, but 3 bamboo flasks weight also 3kg with 45 liquid.

The tegu flask should be an upgrade - not a downgrade...

This is most likely because a bamboo flask is made of bamboo))), and a tegu flask is made of tegu skin and clay. And clay is heavier than bamboo.

I never got the clay part of the tegu flask. Its seems more like a game mechanic than a thing you would do to carry water. Leather flasks were flexible & not made w/ clay - to the best on my knowledge. (I suspect some used cleaned animal bladders inside the leather.)

Tegu is currently better - tegu weights 0.7 kg (2.7 filled) and bamboo is 1 kg (1.75 filled).
Each point of water is 0.05 kg.
I suppose you calculated full tegu vs empty bamboo :P

I do agree though that flasks are unbalanced - water should be 1kg per liter. Either our char needs only 0.5 liter of water per day or water should weights like 0.2 kg per point of water (== 5 thirst). Also barrels should be able to carry much more water than flasks. Barrel storing less water (30 units == 1.5 kg weight) than tegu flask seems a bit funny :)
Stationary barrels should be able to hold like 100 units of water to be worth constructing.

I completely agree.

When you have 4 tegu flasks water becomes irrelevant. I rarely collect much water now. On an upgraded ship there's always fresh water from rains. And i don't like the fact it never rains on Copper Island. I only wish manta and alligator skin be used for something extra. They have nice skins and i have manta ray wallets. I found that belts, wallets and shoes are made from manta ray skin too. Also would be happy to see jaguar skin used for cape/cloak production.

I agree I don't like the idea an entire class of animals skins only have ONE item you can make from it. Hopefully the devs will get creative and add things like being able to decorate your house with rabbit hides, or as a component for different kinds of armor. As it is now basically you can make a bag with the Alligator hide and Hunters Armor with the Rabbit hide. Maybe make some Alligator Armor, or Rabbit Hide furniture. There's so many things they could do to make the game more robust and content filled. Hopefully they will if they want the longevity instead of just a one and done game. If it weren't for the base building feature I would have moved on long ago. And the Ray hide you only need one fresh hide to make one of the Stormbreaker upgrades.
