Water Dispenser: LET ME FILL IT WITH CLEAN WATER!

[Insidiousness]

This would give the water dispenser a good use in my base
Boil the water in a cooking put, fill up the water dispenser = Drink from it and fill water bottles from it for expeditions.

Yep! +1

I miss the infinite water dispensers haha. But that is a good idea also finding unused large water dispenser bottles in storage areas would be a cool feature.

I fully support this! That way, Water Dispensers could become an on-demand piece of furniture (Like with BBQs), and are a better option than having a gazillion of Water Bottles stored at somewhere.

 

After all, I assume those bottles only hold about 1 Lt of water. While bottles like THESE:

 

 

Usually hold about 20 Lt, which is far better.

 

And if we were to either build or loot one of these:

 

 

We could probably store them far more efficiently.

In that case, I also want this:

On a more serious note, the biggest problem with these might be resealing them. If you leave them unsealed, the water will contaminate.

Took me way to long to realized this was about hard drives.

I give this a super-support. Water coolers should run off of a different line of "rules" as compared to tapwater or drinking from a barrel. There's certainly enough offices in the game as-is that sport the coolers to make the investment in the feature valuable.

That's a serious concern, indeed.

 

IMHO, we should be able two options.

 

1- To find the CAPS for it.

 

Namely, these suckers:

 

They're usually sold in hardware stores and the like, and you can usually find one or two in the Janitor's Closet of any office with a water dispenser.

 

 

2- To create makeshift ones.

 

A Plastic Bag and some Duct Tape or ever Adhesive Tape and VOILA! Sealed, but there's always a risk that the water will go bad when using these makeshift ones.

 

When it comes to using them, we should be able to have two recipes for ''Full Water Container''; one with the real caps and one with the makeshift ones.,

 

But, before putting them in the Dispenser, we would have to open it with a mechanic similar to opening a can, as those caps are usually a one-time-only.

 

This would not only give some usage to those useless Plastic Bags, but would also give us a reason to loot office buildings. After all, does anyone ever bothers in checking those places? We all know all you'll find in there is just writing material....

Since the game allows us to store water on cooking pots and mugs with no contamination risk i think non sealed water thing is safe for consumption.

Btw +1 on the idea great idea

[Demonic_Kat]

I just want to know how he got that thing into his base. -.-

[ShuiYin]

He is using the IWBUMS version where moving furnitures are a possibility

Maybe i should be playing that version...

I can really see an abandoned truck holding a bunch of these.

Plus, they will come in extra handy when your party of NPCs is thirsty!
