Water stills drying up
Hi, does anyone else have the same problem, of water stills that were full when you save and quit, are empty when you load back in? This happens in multiplayer

I assume from the turtle shell-made water collectors? Yes, water evaporates even in singleplayer.

Which is, if anything, sounds quite realistic to me, to be honest.

I get that evaporation is realistic, but my problem is with stills drying up from full when you quit the game, to the next time you load in. That is not cool

Water doesn't evaporate? What? My water catchers do not go dry every time I exit the game but they do after several game days without rain.

You do realize water wouldnt evaporate in a cave. Lack of sun. Lack of viable heat source that will get the water at the temperature required for evaporation.


Water does indeed evaporate in the game. INfact I can tell the rate water evaporates in the game.

Water will evaporate out of the water collectors at a rate of 1 level per day.

1 level equaling one drink. Meaning water evaporates the equavalent of 1 drink out of the collectors per day.

It wont in caves because there is no light source to explain the evaporation. I.e the sunlight cant reach inside caves. So the programming in the game does not take away water in caves to simulate evaporation has occured.


your name is wizdom a play off wisdom.


Might be a good idea to know what your talking about before you speak.

Unless you like being ironic.

Or just change your name.

Water does not evaporate, if you don't quit the game and don't drink out of the water collector, it stays the exact same level, again great imagination and no facts. (maybe its diff on single player but the OP specified on MP, speaking of experience and i only play MP, that's how it is).
I wasn't referring to the lack of sun, but for the OP post that specified it was on MP simply the fact that in caves when you quit and reload, water is still there unlike on the surface when you quit and reload the water is gone so i doubt it evaporated when off game coz it didn't and btw i was giving an answer to the OP referring for Multiplayer not singleplayer as he stated.

why does my name should reflect what im talking about, coz i know what im talking about and you simply judged and tryed to twist my words simply coz i didnt specified it was on MP really? i didnt feel like doing so but maybe i should have and you wouldnt have feel the need to judge on my name when you have no idea why i have this name. seriously you have no idea.

must be fun to be a know it all but guess what, mistake are humans i forgive you.

Thanx, couldn't find other posts that had the same, mentioning the bug, thus my post.
Have 300hrs on multiplayer, but it was never this noticeable before. Nog a real game breaker, but irritating as hell when you have nearly 20 water stills over the island, and all dry once you load in.
But non the less, my mate and I still enjoy the game, got 100% achievements, legitimately, no cheats. Now we're busy with the artifact, but sometimes the attacks are low in numbers and far apart.
Is there an average normal, for attacks when placing the artifact? And does location play a role, of the type/heat of attacks?
Sorry, now this got away from original post. My bad

its the same on multiplayer dude. Notice i didnt specify single player. Im not talking about single player im talking about the game.

Its in the programming for multiplayer and single player.


Im stating nothing but facts.



He is expereincing a bug. It shouldnt be happening when he is not even playing. so yes its not evaporation thats the problem Hes experience a different bug all together.


But there is evaporation in both single player and multiplayer.
