Pesteiter got a reaction from blindcoder in Dirty Water and Saltwater - get sick by drinking from the toilet / rain barrel, collect water from rivers
i still dont get the SALTwater part. like Aldrayit said:
the water is seriously dirty. maybe there are dead bodys or zombies in the water you dont know about. if it is not a river but a lake it is even worse.
you maybe can filter the water but are you sure that you get everything out by using a selfmade filtersystem? without any hospitals around you should boil lake/river water no matter how clean it looks.
that said i dont think a distillery is overkill. you dont have to make new clean water every day and can focus on other thinks. (depents on how you store the water) if you are not the only survivor you will need quite a lot of water. 2-8l/day per person only for drinking (hard work in summer or sickness).
idea:
because distilled water has the best water quality you can get, we could use it to make a bottle of disinfectant. if you use normal boild water it still could have small traces of dirt in it.
distilled water + bleach = bottle of disinfectant.
or if you want a new ingame item it would be
distilled water + bleach = bottle of dakin’s solution.
a new ingame item would be perfekt because the bleach disinfectant will damage the wound a bit. every use could cost you 1-3 hp and you can not store it for a long time. lets say a 3-7 days.
dakin’s solution:

long post make short:
i do think a distillery is a good think and it should stay but saltwater just does not make any sense.
you could call it mudwater. (if this is a word in english)
