Everyone can craft a purifier from the first minute, and few do, because of the empty propane tank. On day one that tank comes out of a road barrel or not at all. The cloth and frags are pocket change by comparison.
Here the unfolded calculator tells the truth, which is rare for a looted part. The tank really is a craft: once it is learned at a Level 2 workbench, it costs frags and a little scrap, which brings the whole purifier to 115 metal fragments. That is the day a coastal base stops hoping for barrels.
Before then, think about where a looted tank goes. Flame turrets eat tanks in pairs and can wait for the Level 2 craft; your drinking water cannot. And the purifier only works over a camp fire, so build the fire where you want the water before you place it.
