Will the Unity version have water buckets?

[angriff]

I remember being able to haul water to make fountains and pools in the JAVA game. WIll the unity game have that capability in survival or only in Creative mode?

Also the cage doors and prison bars were great will this be in the Unity Version?

now i can't say for ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN cuz i ain't the dev, but, yes. the goal was to give unity all the same functionality as java, and then a whole lot more. so i'd say we will absolutely have a means to move water around sometime soon. as for those EXACT doors and bars, i'm less certain, but it seems likely, and there are also plans to let us make our own doors, and the bars are definitely pretty easy to make right now with cylinders.

I also hope for some water transportation. as it is now the trough and the watering can are quite useless. I wonder about the glass bottle what is this for?

what about some kind of pumping system?
like put a special object in the water, connect it with some kind of pipes to a pump object in the base and then obtain water from the pump. 40 thirst units per 3 seconds would be a sufficent pumping speed.

Red has definitely said water storage and carrying will be included at some point. Water will be needed for crops to grow and the water barrel will eventually be able to hold water that we put in it. He was less certain if rain would fill it, and I'm not sure about the watering trough and if animals will need water as well, which I would think would be included at some point, but might be a while before that happens. Maybe with husbandry.

Yes, water buckets are still on our to-do list ;)

Yes, probably they will be added with one of the next updates ^^

The watering can handling is basically already implemented, but there is no water requirement for plants yet, that's why the watering can is disable atm ^^

The glass bottle will act as a water container, like the canteen or waterskin ^^ But unfortunately it's not fully ready yet...

There had been some considerations about that in the past, but probably it will still take some time until this gets implemented... first we have to get the new version ready so it can finally replace the Java version ^^

If the animals in the wild needed water how would that work? Some are very far from water and if someday we have ocean water (salt water) they could not drink that.

Maybe use the feed trough instead for the care of animals. Animals needing water sounds complex.
-
One game I played you could use a rope to bring animals back to your homestead.
Maybe once you did something like that they would no longer be animals in the wild and now would require care like water, feed, grooming and health care. Just a thought.

Yeah, good points. Animals needing water hasn't really been discussed before. It just dawned on me as I was writing that post. It could be that animals in the wild are just assumed to go get water when they need it, and we just need it as part of caring for our animals. Would give the water trough some use.

Or it could just be ignored all together. Definitely nothing to put on the list any time soon.

Hope the Draw Bridge gets put back in. I really liked that in my castles

[ArcticuKitsu]

Hoping to also see the return of the draw bridge, and it's various variations. Or that gadget which allows you to make garage doors and gates.

Being able to pump water and recreate famous fountains would be a wonderful if not game changing.

would be "a plus" for sure !
but... "game changing" is too much BIG word for that...
