Water bottle overweight
Seriously? 5 weight for a water bottle while its 0.3 for a water skin. What the hell? A bottle of water should no way cost like that. even an iron pike is 10 weight

Balancing in this game is in desperate need of reworking. The weights on some items are just plain dumb. eg., saddle weighs 20, while a fabricator weighs 4?

Just one of the MANY examples of balancing issues.

It's not a bottle, it's a jar. Jars typically weigh more than bottles. I agree that 5 weight seems a bit much, but it's supposed to be far heavier than the water skin.

look at the image in game. its definitely a bottle. if its a jar it should not only be used once. it should be used for multiple times before emptying the jar. as of now the water issue is quite annoying yet it intrigued me.

I think it's more of the fact that it won't leak water, allowing you to fully restore it in times of need. I usually pack 3 skins and 1 jar with me. I don't even get to use the skins because they drain before I even need to drink. However, that emergency jar has saved me more times than I can count.

Was disappointed when I found out that it's a one-use only.
I mean, 120 stones, 60 Chittin/Keratin and a weight of 5 for just one sip?

Kind of messed up, if you ask me.

I liked how the behemoth gate weighs a staggering like.. 4 lbs, but if you DESTROY it, it puts around 100 lbs of materials in your bag.

I'm not saying the weight on said gate should be 100 lbs, because it'd be obnoxious to build anything, but I think a stack of arrows weighing more than a fabricator, or forge, or smithy is kind of funny.

you do remember that you made the bottle out of cement right? not glass or crystal

@[♥] Tiffany #Kawaii, it doesn't matter. the jar itself cost a ton to make and it is only 1 use only. which is extremely unrealistic because a 5kg of a water jar should be able to take a few sips. one is just honestly pathetic. when i go for groceries i always buy water bottles and water jars. 5 litre of water from TESCO ashbeck only weight around 2kg or less.

we dont need metal water bottles. just normal ones will be fine.

Exactly my thought as well

Go carry a water skin in real life and a water jug. Come back and tell us the jug should weigh less.
