Boiling Salt Water....

[Crazyglueit]

For the life of me I can seem to get Clean water using my bucket and fire. I don't have a Water Bottle but I still cant get the coconuts to fill with water either.

When I place the Salt Water Bucket full on the fire for some time, I'm only able to drink it straight from the bucket and I still get sick. What am I missing? Any help appreciated.

You must build a water collector or a water still. Just cooking the water doesn't work any more.

I am using the water still. Is it longer with the update? I have waited over 2-3 min with it on the water still and nothing happens.

Yes, the water still is very slow. I think it makes about three servings of water in an in-game day. One water still won't be sufficient as a fresh water source.

The water collector is faster, but it requires some work to do and an additional container...

What? :D

Ok, here's the full text:

The Water Still is easier to build and to maintain, but slow. Amongst others it requires one bucket and a piece of tarp. It slowly collects condensed water over the day - shown by drop symbols - without your intervention. You can refill a coconut (one serving) or an empty water bottle (four servings) by holding it in your hand, looking at the Water Still and keeping E pressed.

The Water Collector is more effective, but also a bit more complicated. It is driven by fire and requires two containers, one of which has to be a bucket. You will have to fill the bucket with sea water (take it into your hand and go underwater) and hang it directly over the fire, i.e. put it to the lower part of the construction. A second bucket for the upper part, where the condensed fresh water is being collected, is handy, but you can also use an empty coconut there. To refill an empty coconut from the upper bucket, take the bucket away from the Water Collector and put it to the ground. You can also drink from the bucket directly (left-click while holding it).

Thanks for the reply! I will give a try. I think my problem may have been putting the coconut in the upper part instead of trying to fill it directly.

Sorry for the confusion, recently purchased this and figuring out boiling water has been tricky heh.
