Great idea, great mod!

Can the water collected be used to water crops? if your in a region with no rain, and no ground water, but are nearby enough to the wetlands?

how i get the survive guide ?

@InsideOutlander thanks for your kind words! I've never tried setting up a kofi account (first I've heard of it honestly), but I do love coffee. If you want to send a little love my way I would appreciate it! I'll add a link in the description!

@paperkut808, thank you for taking the time to make the improvement! I appreciate your mindfulness and creativity. Do you have a kofi or anything like that? I wouldn't mind slipping you a few.

@InsideOutlander, I have added storage for water, shouldn't require an import, hopefully it does the trick. I was just thinking about how that was an issue as well.

I like this mod, but storage is a bit of a problem. Is there a way for you to mod it so the water jugs can be stored in the survival food barrel or in a separate barrel of their own?

@Dekent, I know it's been a while, but I looked into the tech tree issue you mentioned after it had happened to me as well. Turns out I had accidentally changed the requirement to lvl 1 instead of 0. Should be corrected now.

@donald.nintendo so I just dismantled both the water jug filling station and the water collection station, and neither one caused a crash. the only thing I can think of may be either load order or an import to ensure proper functioning of the mod (the standard bug fixing advice for all mod related problems lol). If you've already done both of those things and are still having issues, then I'm just as much at a loss as you are. I will go into FCS and look to see if there might be anything that could cause problems, but I tried to make this mod as simple as possible to avoid any kind of problems like the one you're facing now. Let me know if you've tried checking load order and importing and we can go from there.

@Dekent I started a new game with this mod and did not have a similar issue. Are you playing with mods that have unique starts? I know that @Stupendous Man has included blueprints for the survival tree throughout the game world at various traders in the event the tech tree doesn't show up (your particular issue apparently also seems to have occured enough w/ IW to warrant this addition into the mod). I didn't remove anything from the original mod, just added a category into "lets start to survive". I'll look into it and see if I can recreate it on my end just to double check.

@donald.nintendo, I'm going through my own playthrough with this mod, let me take a look and see what what happens when I dismantle them and get back to you on this

Have a problem with this mod, it seems to make the "lets start to survive" starting research for IW to require a normal research bench which sort of defeats the whole purpose of IW. Turning the mod off and I can research the "lets start..." with just IWs research object again.

i found a strange bug. if i dismatle the barrels, the game crashes. dunno why.

@Stupendous Man thank you! And thank you for the advice on how to begin modding!

@donald.nintendo I dig that idea, and I could make use of certain other parts of the IW mod for this. I've been working on another mod that has taken quite a bit of my focus, but this should be a simple enough addition to make.

Cool addon, like the idea.

awesome. this is a nice addition because it makes sense.
why would you not drink from a stream?

oh could you make another version that's slightly harder but adds some more realism?
you should boil water for a bit to make it safe to drink.

it should either be to make it give more food value by a point or two, or make it impossible to drink the water prior to boiling.

an explanation for why the water is better boiled in game could be that the bacteria are not deadly, but do take resources from the body thus lowering its quality.
