did they remove glass jars?

how the hell can we efficiently craft water

[Pizzarugi]

They wanted to make earlygame survival more difficult, so they removed glass jars. It was too easy to scrounge up a few and never have to worry about dehydration ever again before the first week.

I recommend scouring for toilets, vending machines, doing quests and buying from trader to help shore up the water you need. Additionally, if you can find the materials, you can build dew collectors to generate 1-3 water a day.

they just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the game up completely ._.

This change needs to be reverted this isn't Stranded Deep!!! This is a zombie survival game WTF

The main way of getting water now is building Dew Collectors. Automatic fresh water collectors.
The water filter you need to make them can be, most reliably, gotten from traders. Doing the first tier of quests from them can net you two of them as a reward, though personally I'd recommend taking the bike instead as by that point you can likely just buy one with the dukes you made getting there.

Personally I found this video useful in explaining the rest of the mechanics behind them.

garbage. they took some immersion from the game. eh but we make dew x.x still one of the biggest rules of any apocalypse is to reuse everything you can. glass jars included. im disappointed.

Agreed. Even if the excuse is, "bUt AlL tHe JaRs ArE BrOkEn", my response would be, "you expect me to believe that, in today's throw-away, plastic-flooded society, I can't find even _one_ intact plastic water bottle or milk jug?

I can understand that, it's too bad they removed the easily attainable water source like that without telling anyone. Just seems counterproductive to eliminate a core mechanic that's been in since day 1 imo.

except... they did tell everyone. In advance. AND for that very same exact reason: It was too easily attainable. Could it have been balanced better, given how many recipes use water? Sure. But one can also argue that when, after a day of looting, water no longer becomes an issue, that it too has eliminated a core mechanic. Thirst.

Yeah, super realistic... Why not then let us fill the cook pot with water and boil it to make safe water? I see everyone talking in threads about dew collectors being such an easy steady source, but then why bother making the change to just gate the ability to drink?

I've had less issues hiking on the AT with procuring water for myself then I am having in a survival situation where I can somehow make concrete and steel walls without any issue. Or even making cobblestone walls in any desired shape without needing to worry about structurally supporting them.... But the ability to use old cans to boil water in, reuse glass jars or some new way to boil water in the pot and then decent it into reusable plastic bottles breaks immersion? Seriously...

It's actually awesome that they removed glass jars - they were nothing but an annoyance. All the devs have done is cut out the middle man between having water and needing water. Build a couple of Dew Collectors and you never have to worry about water again. Dew Collectors gather clean water and you can use clean water to craft glue. It's a little bit difficult before you get your first Dew Collector up and running, but even then, run a few quests and you'll be fine. You then have plenty of water for crafting and drinking, and don't have to worry about carting empty glass jars around to fill, then store, then empty then store, then sort and take and fill etc. etc. Clean water can now be used to make glue.

You can move them. Just like the rest of your 'appliances'.
