Dev Diaries: Staying hydrated


Surviving is difficult, to say the very least. You want to make sure that all your basic needs are covered, with the most important of them being to satisfy your thirst. While collecting each and every green coconut you see is still useful, you may want to check some other ways of providing yourself with liquid.


Please, note that some of these ways are not available in the demo.

Water storages can be found in the area - they were carefully built by someone beforehand. They collect water when it's raining, so the faster you get to a water storage after a good rain, the less precious water will have time to evaporate from it. And don't forget to bring a couple of flasks with you!


Sometimes you have to take things in your own hands and start crafting. Wooden and clay rainwater collectors are something you can make yourself, so you won't have to wander dangerous territories in search of a water storage. They look nice and are able to collect 15 and 40 units of rain water, respectively.


When you improve your crafting skills enough, you may want to build a water distiller. Just pour some saltwater into it, light the fire and start waiting while saltwater will gradually evaporate and condense into freshwater. In the meantime, you may entertain yourself by watching the occasional water drop falling down from the pipe (no one will judge you for not doing something useful, that's one of the perks of living on a desert island).


Solar water distiller has the same mechanism, though it uses solar heat and doesn't require fuel. However it only works during the day and when it's located under the sun - the sunnier the weather, the higher the productivity.


There is also a nice thing called Palm juice collector that can be placed on a date palm and store up to 5 units of juice. Not really water, but will increase your water stat anyway.


Always keep track of your water stat - there are still plenty of other ways to die!
