[Green]

im trying every which way to drink water from a friggin river but you just cant? any suggestions or reasons why i cant drink from a river? is the game just broken when it comes to drinking? i googled the problem and it came up as far back as 2015 so this seems not good.

You can only drink from small ponds and pools i guess, not from rivers or the ocean.

It's likely connected to the ocean. You guys don't seem to understand that drinking from the ocean wouldn't really hydrate you. Too salty.

no

I thought most rivers stem off from the ocean? And i dont think drinking ocean water is the best idea without cleansing it first!

Rivers flow into the ocean, not the other way around. Not to mention several larger pools of water that aren't connected to anything aren't drinkable.]

The devs just seemed to make up an arbritrary rule for what players can drink from and can't.

Still not asking. You probably shouldn't be spamming, you'll end up getting banned.

What bothers me the most with water is that there are several water flows that come out of rock formations (or mini cliff) and make mini waterfalls and rock bassins but you cannot interact in any way with them. It's disappointing and frustrating as IRL this kind of water source is actually the best to find, water pours out fresh and already filtered.

What will really grind you is when you have the cooking pot in your hand and you can't fill that up with water from a river / lake eigther, altho when its pissing down it fill's in a min or 2 as long as you have it in your hand......lmao,
