Water drinking mechanics improvement

[meganoth]

whats a problem to heavilly slow down water boiling and reduce economy value of water?

In previous alphas with glass jars people simply crafted 500 glass jars, filled them with one swoop at a lake and boiled them. It doesn't matter if it takes a minute or an hour to boil, after that you have more water than you can ever use. If it wasn't fast enough, they built just more fireplaces and boiled in parallel.

These devs removed empty jar mechanic to make water hard and then added dew collector which makes water non issue - devs clearly dont know what they want

My personal experience playing the game is that water is an issue at first and you need to do some questing to make it a non-issue. And that is exactly what the developers wanted. "You clearly" formed an opinion on insufficient information.

The devs wanted glass jars gone.  They are gone.  Seems they know what they want.  Water is not an issue for veteran players, but for new players it is.  And you now have to use workstations to get the water instead of just filling hundreds of jars in a second.  You certainly can't get that many jars of water anywhere near as quickly as you could in the past.  That is also what they were going for.  Now, I agree that water is too easy to get still, but I don't really care.  I'm happy to have jars gone as they just wasted space.

by that logic, we can say exact same with other game stuff, for example wheel item which can be removed because takes space ))

If they want it gone, sure.  It's their game.
