Water Skins

[jhulett]

They leak way to fast and why can't they be filled at rivers and streams?

[Zarhan]

they can be, you stand near/in it and put it on your hotbar and hit the key. you will drink from it and fill it at the same time.

[AlexIce]

because they can. step in water boom Fill it

[Cix77]

you can fill them at rivers/lakes, just walk into knee-deep water and use them

[ImminentSoldier]

then make a jar.

Huh? I never had problems filling them at rivers.

True, they may leak a bit fast, but you'll get a proper jar later that doesn't. So it's just to make you feel like having to start with crappy stuff.

Since I usually stick around beaches in the beginning and avoid running, I actually never needed them except for making dyes.

my opinion they are not worth it, too much resource, 2 skins are enough till it rains again, unless you run like crazy and drain your food/water

if he can't fill a water skin, he probably doesn't know what cementing paste is :D

I suppose its a matter of opinion wether the water skins leak too much or not. But you -can- refill them at any river, lake and ocean.

Just be sure to stand in the right spot: put the waterskin on your hotbar and slowly approach the water. When you're close enough, the hotbar key will brighten and if you press it then, you'll fill your waterskin and replenish your hydration.

You can also fill the waterskin at a tap if you put it in its inventory. :)

EDIT: If you go too far into the water, you won't be able to fill it, yes. Seems there's a sweet spot for this.

Was the OP expecting the water skins/bottles to refill on their own? I think the current system is fine for the most part with the only exception being that I wish we could refill the water skins/jars when we are swimming and not just standing in shallow water.

I personally feel the water jar is way too expensive in cementing paste. Hell that's about as much cementing paste as some metal construction pieces. In my opinion, I think the cementing paste cost needs to drop or metal jars need to carry multple swigs of water for a person to drink.

Thanks I have tried many times to fill it in the rivers and I guess I am doing it wrong. But I still feel they leak to fast

[pigincorp]

Why couldn't of you just looked at the wiki before making an assumption?

This. By the time my character needs water waterskins are already empty from leaks. They are useful only as tool that enables you to replenish water in shallow water instead of having to swim.

[jhulett]

That is a nether weird thing, why do you have to swim to drink? It makes sense that you can fill the water skin while swimming as you are swimming and most likely would need both arms to do so. but why can't you drink when standing in water? not a big deal just odd I think
