Dying of thirst in front of a river hahaha
So this game doesnt let you collect water from the huge river to force you to get water from little contaminated ponds and pools. Hahaha♥♥♥♥♥♥design for "difficulty".

Stick + cloth = Torch
Torch + booze = Longer burning torch.

You can drink in any water source (excepted ocean), it's just a problem of hitbox, sometime you have to move a lot to find the good position to be able to drink.

Wild water is contaminated and will remove you a small amount of HP. Go on a beach, find turtle and kill it to craft a (several) water collector in your base, rain water is pure.

You can also combine rabbit skin and rope to carry some water with you.

Well, if this were a realistic survival game, you would be able to drink your own urine. ;)

Doesnt work. I did google it before giving up.

Also the water thing is not a hitbox problem. I ran along the entire shore south-north and nada. Anyway it is EA I will come back in 5 years when it is "maybe" done :p

Well, for several thousand players it works. Ever thought of that it's you who does something wrong?

Dying In forest because of a lack of water is a master piece.

But yes, keep blaming the unfinished game for your own lack of knowledge

Thank you for you useless post. Feeling better about yourself? Probably not. That self-esteem is way low for you to ever be able to compensate. Carry on.

But he's not wrong :/
But that center river there is connected to the ocean :/
But I still don't know if one can drink from the river coming from the snow :/
But one cannot drink his own urine :/

This is a great game and I cannot wait to see so much polish in the future ^^

Dying in this game of hunger or thirst requires a huge amount of mastery and skill. Respect to OP.

Im still wondering how do you manage to die of thirst or hunger? Because food and ponds are EVERYWHERE

You totally miss the point. You failed the IQ test. Good luck with life. You will need it...

I did not even wanted to get to the point. Bye.

Devs should definitely make you able to fill up your pot with water from any water source available.

Complain enough and they will ahear.

Speaking of failed IQ test, isn't that 'river' connected to the ocean? in other words; salt water? :steamfacepalm:

That isn't how rivers work, champ. Rivers flow into the ocean, not the other way around. A river at its source and for the vast majority of its length will be fresh water.

Apparently in Australia the ocean flows upstream.

Ahhh, I thought it connected to the ocean at both sides and that is was sea level. That's what it looked like at a recollection of the map; I haven't actually been around the whole thing yet.
