Thirsty while it's raining?

[fowlerd 17]

If i'm dying of thirst or at least very red in the thirst bar, shouldn't i be able to drink some of the rain whether it be straight from the sky or filling a water bottle. I know if I was dying of dehydration i'd be standing straight up with my tongue out trying to gulp down that precious water.

Good idea, would it work with the engine is my question. Guess it couldn't be that difficult to do.

I'm guessing there is a command saying toggle_weather_effect_rain_01 or something similar to that in which case you would just need to activate the drink water command, and maybe take twice as long to get to full thirst.

Instead of going back to full thirst it should just stop you from dying of dehydration, if your flashing red you'll stay flashing but wont ever start losing BP

I do endurance sports, and I can tell you from experience, you cannot drink much directly from falling rain.

Filling a canteen, from rainfall, without a device to catch it, would take forever.

I think the rain is supposed to be radiated or infected or something stupid if I remember? Maybe not.
