PC Water Jars / Bottles?

[Roland]

Oh, lol. It was a merge; as you posted, I assumed it was merged by you. I just found the target thread a little odd (one of the least interesting ones tbh) so I had to comment something

Not me. Some of us feel more passionately about merging than others. I'm one of the others...

Anyway, enough about moderating. I'm curious about this new idea that could end in litigation. It must be more amazing than any of the dozen or so YOU put forward. Don't get me wrong. You had some good ideas, but nothing I was going to take you to Judge Judy over....

Honestly have no clue about the whole dumping ideas on devs. But if a moderator says I'm good to go then let it flow.

My idea (not sure how viable on the programming side) would be to treat water jars as an item that either degrades with time or use making them go poof after the allotment is over like 1-3 uses of water you put in them since immersively speaking a glass jar would break over time with all the stuff we're making our characters do. Maybe adding a "water jar pouch" style bag under the armor that holds 3 jars giving you the option to carry golden rod, red tea and coffee or whatever else. Making jars a lil rarer maybe after this. But pls no craftable jars.... as for the dew collector I feel that it should require jars put into them to function pouring the water into the jars rather than just magically creating jars. A "water reservoir" in a later tier of dew collector would be pretty nice to so you have a ready batch of water. For the jars even just making them break after use or time (either 3 in game days or 3 crafted uses such as putting something to drink in them) would work but not sure how tough that would be to program into the game. This in my opinion would fix the whole issue of jars going poof after 1 use and the scarcity of jars even if the rarity was bumped a little since you could collect what you find with either lucky looter or in the vending machines and stack em in a box somewhere. At some point that box would be packed and there would be no need for crafting them but if you add crafting jars back there would be no worry at all to begin with about the water requirement at all.

That all being said if the devs said no jars. Then no jars. The idea is out there now if a modder wants to pick it up or if the devs for some reason do bring back jars in the future.

 Sorry for digging up the rotted horse to beat it again.

I still get a chuckle out of my dead horse gif.

Fun Pimps! BRINGF US BACK OUR GLASS JARS!!! That change is horribly unpopular. It wastes too much time in the beginning not to have access to a simple resource like environmental water. We should at least have the option. Is there a petition yet? Give your loyal fans of the game what we want! Our water jars!

I'm a loyal fan and I don't want them back. 

In any case, they have made it clear jars aren't returning.  You can use a mod if you really want them.  That's really your only option besides just learning to use the dew collectors.
