Water farming

[Laika]

Is there a decent way to get water? I have 2 water filtration machines and it still produces water super slow. I don't really feel like making an aquarium/alien containment tank full of bladder fish is terribly efficient either. Food wise, I am set. I have 2 alien containment tanks filled with fish and and a huge farm. But water right now is just going soo slow.

use salt and common shell to get water
build more filtration machine
equipp a still suit

yeah the devs apparently listened to the "tedium, desparation, aggravation, and chair sitting = fun" people. best thing is to subsist on marblemelons until you can get the stilsuit. then you just have more of the opposite problem.

Easy there. i have a chair, does right fine for me. i watch the gastropods gas the sand shark of the day that chased me into my base. nothin like a gastropod watchin the house :)

yeah i used to do that. then i found out that sitting in a chair's the only way to halt water and food meter droppage. now it's the only reason i have them. well, until i get the stilsuit, that is.

Grab some bladderfish they can be turned directly into 12oz waters. You can find these guys everywhere around shelter reef.

is there a way to position the chair onto the front of the cyclops so you can sit while driving?

Yeah I have the still suit but it's only so so. It does mean way less water I have to actually produce but still not ideal. Actually, mainly, it is the amount of water you have to consume period. Ridiculously high.

Considering the in-game speed of night and day cycles, I'd say it's about right. It's not terribly cumbersome to get a 12 oz pick me up every time you get back to base.

Until you get the stillsuit you could build yourself another water filtration - with 3, and the salt they produce that you can turn into more water if you need, that should be plenty.

Chair is OP. Nerf chair.

yeah but that would require at least 4 apiece of titanium and quartz or 10 titanium, a lube bottle, and a fruit to power it.

I only use one water machine, as i need some salt, but not for water. The melons do a good job if you use 3 plant pods (2x2) per base. If I use some bioreactors, i take the internal grow plate (4x4) and it never is low on melons. Only problem might be, if your knife broke, but atm. there is a bug where you get a 0% knife which works for ever.

Koosh hydrates you. I have a base there, in the Koosh Zone, with alien containment full of peepers. So food and water are not a concern to me unless I'm out exploring.

How are 2 filtration machines and a stillsuit not enough?

Having the stillsuit alone should cover most of your water needs - I normally end up with cabinets full of water from the filtration machines if I bother equipping the stillsuit (but I think the armoured suit is far more useful).

In my latest playthrough, I'm finding that one filtration machine combined with one 4x4 planter of marblemellon and lantern fruit is more than enough, and I still have excess water bottles to carry with me in the Cyclops for the long expeditions to the depths.

yeah..planter will completely fulfill your need for water.....if you dont like planting..just collect salt to make water...drinking recycled water sounds awful for someone....that is your choice...
