Gutters filling water bottles.

[amlaborde@windstream.net 94]

When ever it rains in the game and you are desperately looking for a little pond to fill your water bottle, instead you come across a small town and you think "Oh no!"

Well, if you look closely at the gutters on some of the houses while it is raining, you will see a stream of water pouring out of them. Why not simply give the player the option to fill his bottle from this source? Seems reasonable no? It would be a total act of desperation, due to gutters being full of dirt, grime, and all kinds of nasty things. There would be a chance of becoming sick with something when you do so... Lets say that when you fill the bottle, a subtext pops up saying "Your water bottle is now filled with Tainted Water" thus tainting the bottle itself forcing you to dispose of it and look for another one.

Oooh, I like it! Have ma beans!

Not bad.

Better than drinking the stagnant, dirty water from a pond.

It could be a good addition if dirty water is used as a vector for diseases.

I approve as long as you're not drinking directly out of a gutter. I imagine you wouldn't feel well after that. B)

It depends if its clean or not, natural clean water wont cause you to get ill however, if you drink from a dirty gutter then yes you probably would get sick or something.

Maybe even leave a bottle(or a wider pot for better results) out in the rain, while you sit nearby in some cover?

Clean water, no need to even boil it to make it safely drinkable. (Not all gutters are clean, y'kno?)

What about a 50/50 chance that it's clean or not? Adds some excitement to the game.

Also it would be a huge act of desperation to drink from it. Like, "I have no choice!"

Bird turd flavoured water? What else besides dysentery will you find in gutters?

Nice idea but very dangerous.

[aksuduud 64]

From my experience gutters are always absolutely full of leaves and gunk.

OP Updated with extension of the idea.

Should be possible to pour out water of the bottle.

*Fills bottle from gutter, bad water*

*pours out*

*rinse and repeat*

If you are in a desperate situation where this is the only water you can find... How will you rinse it out when the bad water was all you can find? You would also need soap probably.

It was a joke, don't ruin the fun :<

[Razmataz (DayZ) 5]

Sounds like a first world problem to me. Imho the water should be fine every time .

i'd like enabled the option to boil water on the fireplace, especially with all those diseases coming with SA

That would make sense. Also the ability to carderise your wounds.
