Water is heavy. It is scarce in the desert.

Make it a limited resource for sure and impossible to get in the desert biome, the burning biome etc. It is the most important thing in survival. But removing the ability to fill containers from legit sources, from rainstorms, drains etc. is a little over the top.

How about just add a weight factor to it? Make it difficult so you can only carry so much around? A canteen for example.

If they added a weight limit then they would have to add weight limits to everything else, and if making it that you can only carry a certain amount of jars, then it would restrict the amounts of other stuff you can carry meaning you will have to work harder at getting things like resources.

Just wait for the stable version to come out. Man, the complaining is so loud it's just impossible for the devs to leave it be and not to pay any attention.


Or possible? Ah, we'll see...

Oh my.. how naive you are.

[Yooka]

I like this idea. And they could add weight limits to everything else, but to everything else, it would be negligible/barely noticeable.

Also, if they want to stress the importance of water, make the meter go down faster.

Problem is though what is the weight of say a engine you got from a car compared to weight of a jar of water, so you could in theory still end up with tons of jars in no time.

Not talking about adding weight to everything.. just to water. Just some fictional limit you can physically carry. a VOLUME of water ..

Why have a weight limit for one item but not others, that would be inconsistent and make no sense.

You can suspend your belief you can carry all the stuff in a backpack but you can't suspend your belief that you can only carry x amount of water?

They could've just taken away the ability to create an infinite pool with a bucket of water. Then lowered the stack amount on empty, murky, and filled jars and made it so you can only fill up maybe 2 or 3 at a time from any source. This takes up more time to fill up large stacks and eats away at your inventory space. This is better than carrying a one stack of 125 empty jars and filling it up in fell swoop.

When you start adding weight limits but only add it to one item, would that not cause more confusion for new players ?

They can just make them not stack. Hows that then?

Doesn`t solve the issue of players having infinite amounts of water early game.

Example

Let`s say they limit the stack of glass jars to three like the cooking pot, and i have collected a good stack of bones.

Scenario

Oh i have all these bones but only three jars, i am screwed. Oh wait i can craft a bucket dig a hole and fill it with water for infinite water resource, now i can turn all my bones into glue all in the first day.

So it`s not has simple has just limiting glass jars there are other factors to take into account also.

They have a dew collector if you are struggle that much just through 4 down and youll never need water again or get the poo water and boil it all they did was make it to where you arent drinking "pure" water or smoothies from every POI because at that point the game doesnt have a drink mechanic

[Gnasty Gnorc]

It’s not hard to get water at all. Even in those biomes. Just loot buildings lol.
