Water Bucket... uses?

[Iron Phoenix - Victim]

So... attempted to use the water bucket to put out a fire... nope. I imagine it is used to hold water. Yep. It does. I can drink from it or spill it, but not use it to fill other containers and not to put out fires. Yay? Any other uses?

You should be able to use it to put out fires, in addition to that you can use it to water the garden as well.

Btw you still cant use the waterbucket to collect rain as it unspawns. The server would thank you if we can replace dozends of pet bottles or cans for water collecting with a bucket.

That's why we have water collectors, we will not add additional items to be present on the server at this point as it ruins server stability.

Fill it with water, stand nearby, open inventory, and right click empty bottles.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Edit: Fill then place on ground

That's exactly my point. One bucket would replace dozens of items. Watercollectors are not cost efficient, if you have the parts you make them but cans and bottles are abundant so you place alot of them.
I have two bottle next to every plant to store water for dry times, 1 bucket would do for the whole garden. Could even have a bucket that does not need animal skin, just a simple open one.
But its no big deal its fine for me as it is, game is stable i just place hundreds of bottles

Can't you also fill the bucket with gasoline in a pinch?

I did expect to be able to put out my camp fire with it, but that option did not appear when I had the bucket in hand. Using the same process, I was able to put out the fire with a canteen. Edit: Yes, the bucket had been filled from the nearby well...

I have not yet created a garden plot to test out farming (and watering). So, I cannot comment on that function.

I've not attempted to use a water bucket to hold fuel. Not sure I'd be able to fuel the car in any case. Nor have I used a gas canister to hold water... though I know it works as some squad mates have done so. I've not tried to put out a fire with a water filled gas can either... or one full of gas ^_^.
