Water please

[Negligent Discharge]

Devs...let us get water from actual water sources please. It's pathetic you thought that made sense to take away in a SURVIVAL game.

You can make dew collectors easily from day 1.

You used to be able to fill jars of murky water from water sources like lakes and rivers and then boil them into clean water to drink.

Which means they went out of their way to remove something that makes sense in favor of "What if you just built a huge ass rain collector out of sticks and scrap iron?"

[Somnion]

they done took our jarbs!!!1!!

Hell, remember when you could loot the water barrels for murky water? The trolls pretending the 1.0 is the second coming of christ apparently don't

its not even a rain collector haha it collects dew. i guess collecting rainwater would b op. i tried getting water with a bucket from a lake and pour in my sink.. buut didnt figure out how to drink it and now i have a half meter tall "pile" of water on my kitchen floor and on the other side of the wall'? lol

Yeah, this is definitely a release build and totally not a beta build that they changed the graphics on.

I think I started played in... Alpha 5? and there is this wild development cycle where the game got better and better and then suddenly worse and less logical for no reason.

While it isn't something that makes a lot of sense logically, as a game mechanic the old glass jar system basically made water pointless as a resource. May as well have removed it entirely. Seriously, the comment about just spawning it in from creative mode is spot on. If that feels like cheating, just spawn it in as murky water instead of clean.

It's just bad design.
"Drinkable water" should be a depletable resource.
With rain collectors being the ultimate choice for survival.
Not sure why we're still debating this crap when the solution to it is just a simple line of code.

Theres a nuke in the store page trailer, lets just say the water is contaminated.

It is so insanely easy to get water....

[Trooper Bri]

It's been what, over 18 months since jars got deleted?

If you haven't found the workaround for that by now, maybe 7D2D isn't for you.

As opposed to rain water which has it's own water cycle separate from the contaminated water in the world, of course.

[Bloodmasked]

most of this game makes zero sense, pretty much a meme game

And water coolers xD I was just being silly.... But yeah electromagnetism can keep particles suspended in air until it interacts with water xD Just those damn water coolers.... And other things, gatekept by water purification helmet mod or collectors. Edit: Once you have helmet mod to drink water the dew water becomes crafting ingredient of course. Edit: I havent seen helmet mod in 1.0 yet, just A21.

The best part is the dew collector not collecting anything when it is raining because… magic I guess?

Also I like when you drink from a pond and your guys sounds like he is drowning himself. Although to be fair if he is too stupid to not smash the jars after finishing the water I guess that checks out.
