Water purification

[FishGuts4Lunch 66]

I know at some point drinking water from an open sorce, e.g. a stream or lake as opposed to a water bottle of well is going to mean having to use water purification tablets or risk getting ill. So my thought is, would it be possible to put water in a pot and boil it on a fire, let it cool and then pour it into a canteen or drink it directly and thus avoid the need to scavange for purification tablets or risk getting killed while drinking at a well? ;)

Already confirmed, Not sure about the boiling water, though I know it has already been suggested many of times.

Boiling water is in the Mod (i think!) so i would assume you will be able to do it in SA at some point.

As boiling water is one of the basics of survival anywhere, it'd be a gross oversight to not add the feature in game.

boiling water was a pain in the arse in the mod, I just collected cans of soda, and if I had no more room... just drink every can of soda I came across lol

Yes but if, as I suspect items of food and drink become more scarce in the future then boiling water would be a great asset!
