Characteristics
Overview
A large jerry can for all kinds of water. Holds up to 5000ml. Careful not to throw it all away!
Carry it whenever you will be away from fresh water for a while. Its own text gives it 5000 ml, and you drink straight from it, so a long roam or an evening at a monument does not end with a walk to the river.
Farmers like it too. A water bucket is cheaper, but the jug holds more and lives in a hotbar slot like any tool. Fill it at a water barrel or a river, water the planters, refill. The catch is getting one. Nobody can craft or research it, so the jug you carry is one you looted or traded for, and losing it on a roam means waiting for the next to turn up.
Tip
Fill it at a river before you leave for the coast, not from the waves. The sea gives you salt water, which hurts instead of helping, and the jug holds enough of it to spoil a whole trip. If that happens, pour it out and refill somewhere fresh.
Say you head to a desert monument with a med kit and a gun. A full jug in the hotbar means you never break off a fight to go looking for a lake.
Recycling
At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
