The Forever Winter

The Forever Winter

Thinking about getting it... Question about the water mechanic.
I feel your eyes rolling at this lol. I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but i can't seem to find a definitive answer about how long the water lasts when full? How long it would take to get the water to max? Am i able to walk away for a week or more and be fine? (I have a relatively busy schedule and I'm unable to log in every day, but i might get a few days off every month)

I saw that someone said it was easy to find. But does easy to find also mean it depletes fast? Or is it what someone else said, "See you once every 80 days!"?

To me, i don't mind losing everything and starting over. I played eve online for the last 18ish years, I'll get over it lol. But I don't really want to purchase a game if I can't take a break for a week or two, maybe a month?

Anyway, thanks for the help and any information you provide! :)

Yeah, that doesn't sound bad at all. I assume in a few hours you could get a couple days or more worth of water.

Thank you for the clarification! That makes it easier for me to pick it up.

So you planning to play this game forever without taking breaks to play something else or something?

And then you take a break from a game after 200 hours of playtime and you lose everything.

It’s sweat of you to try to comfort water mechanics. Very wholesome!

Oh yeas, game forcing you to log in to not lose anything is HARDCORE.
Not actual gameplay, or skills, just the fact you need to log in every X days makes game better and HARDCORE.

in 3.5 hours I found 2 water barrels outside of the quests. It is NOT easy to build up water in this. It's really a terrible mechanic if you have a life and a full time job.
