How to get Murky Water?

[RLeeErmey]

I'm right next to ditches and water sources .. won't let me fill an existing container and boil it?

[Malkuth]

No more empty glasses. You have to find murky water in POIs now. Than boil. Than find more Murky water Glasses.

you can buy off trader too. One of my least favorite things so far in game.

Oh they have a new water collector you can build also, that gives 1 glass a day or some silly thing.

I'm standing in a lake full of water... sigh

[fwoggu]

Geez that's terrible.

[RLeeErmey]

Not even rainwater that sheds off roofs.. no antibiotics of any kind at all early game either.

The Dew Collectors move slow as molasses. Actually punishes you for having longer play time days.

[RLeeErmey]

If you can even find a water filter. I've only found one at a trader for 1500 so far.

It's almost like they want this to be a survival game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why even have thirst, if it's never going to be a problem, like in A20? At that point you might as well remove thirst instead, much easier.

What's that have to do with the devs forgetting to tie the DewCollector output to real-time instead of days-passed?
The text you're responding to is pointing out a mistake in the code.
If you don't like someone's opinion on the game's changes, you should probably quote them critiquing the game's changes instead of quoting someone mentioning a potential bug.

For example, trees and crops growth is tied to real-time (I think 3hours?) so changing day-speed doesn't speed or slow their growth. Similarly, the character's hunger/thirst/stamina is tied to real-time and not day-speed. This keeps hunger/crops tied together and balanced regardless of your day-speed settings.
There IS the side-benefit of this hiccup allowing players to "tune" the DewCollector output by speeding/slowing day-speed to increase/decrease water output (then adjust hordenight frequency to rebalance the dayspeed tweaks)...but I don't know if that's intentional.

You are the most unpleasant, aggressive, combative person I've met on this forum.

in any case it is ABSURD to think we can't fill a container of water ourselves from sources or bend over and drink

You can bend over and drink.

You just need to be empty handed and looking directly down at the water.

thank you!! I knew there had to be a way.

take an award.

Still not being able to fill a container is infuriating. How would anyone in reality survive without a water flask or something to take with them during their travels?

[RLeeErmey]

Maybe a canteen (a single one only) should be allowed to have or craft. Like many other games out there. It just is realistic.

You're welcome and thanks for the award; wasn't necessary but is appreciated.

Just be mindful of the damage you can take from drinking that way and the dysentery. If you're going to get most of your water day to day from the lake, be sure to invest your found/made water into goldenrod tea.

Its just for desperation times.. I mean I'm dying of thirst and water is right there .. I'm infected concussion abrasion and no stamina to fight or loot .. you get into those situations early game and no way to get water. So being able to drink from a source is needed.
