I agree there is a problem with water. In A20 whenever I went looting, I almost always got something to drink during whole day of looting. Now, having loot set to 200%, day to 120 real-life minutes and daylight set to 22 hours, I almost always find no drinks and no food. Fortunatelly I play with 2-3 friends and they went questing, so we have 3 water machines after 5 days, but I always end up coming back for the night starving and dehydrated. Combine it with broken farming in A21 and it just sucks...

Murky water is now the common drink in drops. All other drinks have been changed to uncommon or rare drops.
Same thing with food. Canned food, charred meat, cornmeal, and sham sandwiches are all common / uncommon food drops. Process foods like blueberry pies, meat stew, hobo stew, and sham chowder are rare drops.
It's not a problem with water, as it is more of a change in philosophy. You can't just rely on finding drinks and food in POIs as you loot them or perform quests, you need to prepare ahead of time and bring with you food and drink, or purchase from the traders / vending machines.
Changing the loot abundance to 200% won't affect the odds of finding higher quality drinks or food, just increases what you find.

I'm staving the smoothies.
Pure Mineral Water. LOTS of it.
60 water, cure dysentry, 15% digestion. (makes the food last longer)
I've got 4 collectors going, Have 90 PMW, 88 clear water, forget on stinkwater.
Almost time to do a batch of glue (125)
Yeah, first few days are tense, but once you get 2 collectors going, you won't die of thirst.
3 and 4 let to start stockpiling.
(make red tea asap though, that little extra water is good, but the digestion bonus is better)
(and pray that RNG gives you the mineral water book)
