  • Many new items added, including everything needed to distill water and cure poisoning.
  • Thirst has been added with more ways to create drinkable water.
  • Hunger now increases slower.

    • There’s two new environmental items for water distillation including:

      Stone Water Still
      Large Rock x3
      Sharpened Item
      String
      Pole-like
      Waterskin
      Fuel-like

      With this one, you have to pour unpurified water into it (right click), light it on fire, and wait until it burns out to grab the now distilled water.

      Solar Still
      Sheet of Glass (Tongs, Refined Sand x3, Limestone Powder, Furnace)
      Waterskin

      With a solar still, you have the pour unpurified water into it, then wait a couple hundred turns. This will only work during the day. After it’s done, you can grab the distilled water.

      You can also use a direct recipe method:

      A Purified Filled Waterskin
      Flask (Clay Blow Pipe, Refined Sand x2, Limestone Powder, Furnace)
      An Unpurified Filled Waterskin
      Campfire

      Using a flask, you can distill water directly using a campfire with an unpurified waterskin.

      There’s some other thirst-reducing foods as well including Snow, Pineapples, Nopal, and Coconuts.
