Why do the developers hate the water glasses yet hold on to them
I always thought it was stupid that they disappeared when you used water for cooking stuff. Now you dont even get them from drinking the water???
Is the water magically hanging around my backpack like I'm a waterbender or something? Wtf is the logic behind that

No its clearly in a jar when it's in your backpack. Once you drink it the water is inside your tummy.

I always found empty jars to be minimally useful. Removing them does take away that extra watering option from the early game, but so far it hasn't been an issue. One time on day 1 or 2 I had to choose the 10 water quest reward because I ran out, but otherwise there was always enough dirty water while looting. By the end of the first week I had made more than enough dukes to get water filters for the collectors. And I haven't even built them because I still have water from looting and boiling.

No, the water is in jars. Just like the gasoline is in gas cans and acid is in acid jugs and stew is in bowls and candy is in wrappers. It is simply not represented anywhere but in your inventory. It is an abstraction. But you definitely should still continue to assume that there are jars.

You can imagine that after you drink you put the empty jar in a special slot of your backpack and it waits there until you find some murky water in a toilet and then you pull out the jar and fill it up and it shows up in your regular inventory full of murky water. Or when you remove water from your dew collector you are pulling out your empty jar and filling it with drinkable blue water.

There are just no animations for those actions. They happen "off camera". Its the same exact way you have been playing with gasoline and acid and stew and anything else that comes in a package which, after you use it, you don't see the empty packaging any longer.

The same place empty gas cans go after filling up your motorcycle.

Pressed up against your pancreas.

It doesn't make any sense though. Why would there be glass in bottles anyway?
The developers could put in effort to have actual containers with a certain amount of volume that you can use, making those rare and a very useful item to have, but instead we still have magic water containers that appear and disappear into thin air, 10 years after EA release and another update that changes the way you level/unlock stuff for the 312387th time

You didn't ask where the jar was, you asked where the water was. I suppose I didn't answer your initial question, No, you don't get them after drinking.

They say, as they play test an experimental version of the game to collect data for the developers.

Which is a terrible system for something that is a key part of survival in a survival game that has been in development for 10 years

Good riddance to glass jars and tin cans. So happy you don't have to deal with them in loot anymore. Wondering what happens to the jar when you use the water? Holy moly people, it's a game!

Why are glass jars a KEY part of the game. Explain it to me like I am five.

jars are still gonna be a thing in the mod I play so I don;t care. There is a reason why I do not play vanilla..choices like these from the devs is one of them.

Yes, a survival game where your life depends on water (and fuel in a way), with no game system that simulates even the simplest of things, storage.
