AlexandraRussia Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hello, I had this idea, here is our hero or heroine drowning snow, and purify the water. To drink. But that if there are natural sources in the game that will be in caves where the anomalies did not touch them, and such sources would have medicinal properties, such sources are crystal clear, and to find them one would have to drop the old.

OptimusCrime Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I like the idea of potential cave like streams/small waterfalls that could potentially not be frozen. But i've never heard of water that has medicinal properties, so not sure how that would tie in properly? Like I get crystal clear water, but what do you mean by 'medicinal properties'? Water contains no antibiotics, doesn't function as a painkiller, and boiling water in effect is the exact same as like 'crystal clear' water. I like the idea of natural water sources, although I don't know where they would be located best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirmagnos Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Springs could be an interesting idea. However, considering that water made out of snow should be clean enough for drinking as is, it would only change accessibility to water, not need for purification. Water system could use a lot of rework, with different water sources or various purity available to player. Like springs could provide sufficient amount of water, but could come with rather significant chance of getting wet and take time to collect. Snow would require melting and it would take a lot of snow to produce sufficient amount of water. Sea water could be used to make salt for preserving meats. River water, while easily accessible, would require additional purification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_robinson Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 It also seems odd that you can't get fresh (non-potable) water from lakes when ice fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Welcome to the forums @OptimusCrime Dirty water from ice fishing holes (on lakes) are a frequent request. The only medicinal water I can think of are briny hot springs which work wonders on sore muscles and joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @cekivi Oh that would be unreal, it would save me a lot of painkillers if I could treat say a sprained ankle/wrist in hot springs haha!

That would also be something neat. We have a lot of natural hot spring spas near in the area where I live in New Zealand. They are wonderful, as you say, for resting weary muscles. And you can sit in them up to your neck, warming up in sub zero temperatures and never get cold. Until you have to get out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Neat @andrew_robinson Never had a chance to go to hot springs myself. I've driven by hot springs in Jasper National Park but the line to get in was way to long for me to bother when there was awesome hiking to be done!
