how to boil water?

[Yuvi]

someone?

[xXSniperXx360noscopeSkillaaaz]

fill the pot in a pond or in a rain collector (build with turtle shell) and put it on the fire by pressing "e" after equipping the pot via the inventory (leftclick on the pot). Then drink water as soon as it is boiled. by pressing "E" again and retrieve the pot afterwards.

thankyou :D :D

I was wondering, is there a way to store your boiled water instead of drinking it?

[Najash]

I guess right now the only option to kind of store water, is if you build the water collector.

I built 3 of them so I don't run out of water.. :D

Ah - found this in another discussion from one of the dev's:

"You can drink straight from the basin or alternatively craft a Waterskin with 2 deer pelts and a rope, which you can fill there for a carryable drink of freshwater. (You can also fill it at ponds, with the dirty water taking health when you drink it)"

yes 2 deer skin+1 rope makes a water rope (water pouch)

Yup. Found it out already :-)

How many skins can we hold? I crafted 2 but only one showed up.

How do you actually get water in the pot????

[Dee]

open inventory, left click on the pot to hold it in your hands, then walk into a water source (ie: a pond) and look for the 'fill' icon, then click and the pot fills with water. then take the pot to a fire and click C to boil the water, wait for it to show the consume/drink icon, then press E to drink.

Thank you Dee, I must be trying to fill it in the wrong water, like the sea or something because I walk into the water and nothing comes up and then if I can too far I start to swim and the pot disappears. I will try again at a different water source and see how I go.

You sometimes have to go deep into the water source. I used this one pond and I've got to walk into it before I see it (and sometimes it just appears and goes away so you may need to look straight ahead instead of looking down or something).

Also, if you add water to the pot, save your game and reload the water won't be in the pot. Otherwise, you can keep it in the pot in your inventory and just cook it when you need it.

The water collector is actually the best way to do it if you're operating out of a base. I've got three set up so I have enough each day. :)

If you're desperate though, pond water will hurt you but not kill you.

oh yeah, and something i just found out too, if you leave the pot on your fireplace, when you log out, it wont be there when ya get back and you have to go hunt down another one, so make sure to pick it up to your inventory before you log out.

wheres a pot and wheres a turtle? cant find any can anybody help

[LoneGunman]

@Dee, Yeah same thing happens to food. Basically: use it or lose it. :)

@philcollings, I found one by one of the tents on a beach. Along with the rebreather. Turtles are usually on the beach but they vary (sometimes I find them on one beach, other times they're on another). Seem to reset each morning.
