Not sure why a wood burning stove would need to be powered. With that said, the cement mixer should require petrol to use, I added petrol to all mixer's recipes to satisfy my immersion.
hey I'm just chiming in unnecessarily, please carry on scrolling.
maybe just make that as a mod champ. seems like a lot of steps for something thats not necessary, even in real life you just have to boil the water from a natural source to kill bacteria and a filter to remove dirt and other small particles and creatures.
The stove in the game isn't a wood burning one. I was talking about what was already there.
The difference between you and Riamus is that (YOU) are trolling, (HE) is providing his take/opinion on something.
In the zombie apocalypse, things are so desperate we have to garnish before plating up...
If the glue, as before, was prepared from dirty water, then I would have no objections. But alas, from version 1.0, clean water is needed to make it.
Why are they needed? In the first 10 days of the game this will be useful, but then we will only get bones from the chicken coop and something tells me that in too small quantities.
What kind of dump do you live in? All my life I drank water from streams and wells and seemed to be alive.
I think, glue and paint shouldn't require clean water. They should have allowed us to make them just from murky water in 1.0.
They really aren't. Unless unlocked with no magazines, you will probably not really need them. Eggs are usually only used in the very early game except by people who like making pies. Meat is used, but I can get enough meat without a chicken coop without really trying. I don't normally even go hunting and have more meat than I know what to do with in a very short time in the game. Feathers are about the only thing that could be useful after the early game, and then only for people making arrows. But I don't mind having it in the game.
Wells are fine. They are underground and naturally filtered. Though, depending where you live, the minerals in them can be too much to be very safe. Streams aren't really that safe to drink from, though people do it often. The faster the water flows, the safer it is (generally speaking). And springs are usually the safest because the water is coming up from underground. But you will definitely get a lot more bacteria and stuff in stream water, which can and does lead to health issues in people. Just as in this game, you can get by without getting sick if you drink it, but you can also drink it once and end up sick. And that's when you're in a location with relatively clean water. Not everywhere in the world has "clean" surface water. Even in the US, there are places where you definitely shouldn't drink it.
My guess (only a guess) is that since they'd have to make duplicate recipes to allow different ingredients, they chose to use clean water instead of murky water for that exact reason... "it would be silly to not also be able to craft glue and paint from clean water." Since there are already 2 recipes (campfire and chem station), if they wanted to also allow murky water, you'd need to double that to 4 recipes. That is kind of excessive for a single item. Certainly possible, but I'm guessing they didn't want to do that.
If my memory serves me correctly, dirty water was changed to clean in version 1.0. The cans were removed and a dew collector was added. And since after installing the filter you lost dirty water, the recipe with dirty water became ineffective.
Meat in the late game is also not very necessary. I haven't used it since the middle of the game. Rotten meat is used instead. The only time I use meat is to run around the wasteland at night, holding it in my pocket, so that it doesn’t get boring.
If we talk about the USA, then I would not risk drinking from the Potomac, but I would absolutely safely drink from the Yukon. If we talk about bacteria, there are a huge number of them, but not so many pathogenic ones. And the main problem in water in our world is not bacteria, but chemical impurities.
I was thinking this
That's because you always had the water filter mod on your helmet... Just kidding!
Yes, that likely is the reason. The crafting system really needs support for alternate inputs.
Don't worry, TFP can chew chewing gum and shoot the shotgun at the same time!I think that TFP should leave leave cooking the way it is... Campfires are fine and we don't need anything else to cook with.
I also think that making glue and paint from clean water fine and doesn't need to change.
What TFP should really focus on is work on things like the chicken coop, the sandbox options, the bandits and the story mode... We don't need minor changes to cooking and water and jars every time there's a new update. It's fine the way it is so lets move on to important stuff.
Almost forgot... And add the new pig model... Please!!!
It reminds me of a classic scene from the movie "They Live": I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ■■■... and I'm all out of bubblegum.Don't worry, TFP can chew chewing gum and shoot the shotgun at the same time!
