I still miss cans! "Can" we make this discussion about cans now? See what I did there? 😉

Maybe I wrong but I thought a bucket didn't allow you to put water in a pot and boil it? Or are you referencing RL vs Game? Sorry a bit confused.

Bang For Your Bucket mod. It allows water gathering without needing jars. I've been using it pretty much ever since jars were removed.
 
Oh, yeah. Used it too.

I know we can mod almost anything, but the list grows looooooong, and I ain't got the time.

I meant I was home 18 days ago and downloaded the mods I could find, and started a game and day 5 it was time to head out.

Ya, my problem, but it wasn't that way. Really for me A19 or 20 the game was mostly fine. You know what they say, you never forget your first.

BTW anyone try the game in steam deck? I am tempted.

I must've missed those conversations.... I think I've seen one proposal for gathering water without jars and it wasn't a terrible idea. I don't recall seeing people shooting it down.

Actually, I guess there were two, since I made one myself.

A lot of those aren't very recent since most topics about jars are a couple of years old now. I am not saying everyone shoots down those ideas, but they do seem to get quickly buried and the focus remains on "I want empty jars." Anyhow, like I said, if people could move beyond empty jars and consider options that let you get water from a water source without needing a bunch of empty jars floating around, I'd probably be fine with it. I've supported a variety of different suggestions people have made for options not including empty jars. But they just get buried.

This topic has been less like that, but it is also mostly filled with regulars. The serious complainers don't seem to really be posting in this thread. Maybe because it's about not wanting jars instead of wanting them.

There is zero need or use for them. Not having them isn't any more or less immersion breaking than not having bowls for your stew, or plates for for your steak and and potato meal.

They juat represent servings of water, clean or otherwise.

Eh that doesn’t really work because in previous versions your jar would be consumed when you made the dishes… now you put your water in with its imaginary receptacle and it gets consumed. Like how does the dew collector even work? It’s built like a rain collector since it has that stupid tarp on the top and then it collects water… in jars? Where do they come from? And you can’t even say it’s not jars because you take the murky water and boil it. So it just all makes less sense now. Like you could take stew and put it into a jar and practically drink it after cooking it in your pot

What is this fixation on them? And why not cans or a canteen or thermos?

We used to have cans that you could fill with water. And my idea for remedying jars was have them be rare and have them be among several receptacles but you would mainly collect your water in a bottle that you could outfit with a filter or use with the campfire to boil the water or place down to collect water or fill it up at a water source. You know… like how people do when they’re staying out in the woods? I would have jars and filled jars not be stackable. Have them break if you get hit or fall, have plastic bottles that degrade over time, same with cans that rust. Also jars would be rare because after everyone has scavenged everything and things got bombed jars would probably be among the first things to break. Hell even give them durability too since they might be cracked and broken sometimes

And for people that say it would be inventory clutter or it could even possibly be too much for the game to keep track of then I remind them that we used to have guns and tools and the minibike with individual parts with individual qualities and individual durabilities (why the got rid of this I never)

Gotcha.... personally, I'd be perfectly happy with a system that allowed you to gather water even if it was without jars. I just haven't heard one yet that I thought would be better. But I'm keeping an open mind about it.
