I'm curious what this means for the current strategy which is to just go to a body of water like a pond or ditch and fill up empty jars with murky water to then boil into drinkable water -- is that not going to be possible in A21?
Good water is waaaay too easy to collect, craft & store. To me the starting water crisis lasts until day 3 then you are literally swimming in water.
Oh. Dew, not rain. Yeh okay I'm fine with that. Good call whoever decided to say dew and not rain... Good call indeed.
This is great news... not only about the dew collector, but mainly about the water scarcity rebalance.
Actually, they were thinking about this when...
Let's think about that for a second. Between a rain collector and tractor, which one in the context of 7DTD is more useful? There is nothing in the game right now that would make a drivable tractor useful, other than it's another vehicle choice (albeit a slow one at that, so pretty pointless). It is absolutely not worth the devs time to make that thing drivable. A rain (and as confirmed by Roland, actually a dew) collector is 100% more viable and actually makes sense to have in the game.
No longer possible. You can drink straight from a river or lake but you won’t be able to fill up a stack of empty bottles. There are no longer any empty bottles in A21. Bottles only exist as long as there is a liquid contained in them. They simply represent one unit of that liquid and not a literal bottle any longer.
It is a passive station. It just does it’s thing once you place it and the interface is only to collect water from it. It isn’t a crafting station and it doesn’t unlock new recipes. But when you have three set up it makes your base look cool and you always feel happy opening it and removing pure water.
Nope. You can’t craft empty jars, find empty jars, or wind up with empty jars. Go craft up 1000s while
I don’t know. I hope so. I think they should only work outside. Putting the plant property on them to force them to have open sky above them would be a great idea if it isn’t already implemented. I could never bring myself to build one inside and go against the theme. Plus they are humongous. They look awesome on the exterior of your base.
Thanks for all your responses. A follow up question to this -- Does this also mean you can no longer "craft" bottles of murky water either? (since empty jars are going away)
Correct that we cannot craft nor collect murky water. Glue now uses pure water in its recipe. For your production needs you would probably want a dew collector farm of at least a dozen collectors.
I definitely feel it’s an improvement. Before, you would often find enough pure water in cabinets and water tanks to keep your hydration up without consequence. Now, it’s only murk anytime you have a chance to find water. When your hydration slips below 50%, suddenly you start considering slurping on some murk to trade a bit of health to avoid stamina loss.
So how will this be now with crafting glue? Do you still need murky water? And if yes that would kinda suck tbh cuz in the later game stage you kinda want to mass produce murky water since you need later ALOT of glue/duc tape. Since you cannot craft glas jars anymore to fill them up is there a way to get murky water easy or are we left alone with collecting murky water while looting?It is a passive station.

it’s still A20….
