UPDATES - Since this video was published the Dew Collector now costs £2250 from the Trader and Dew Collectors now generate heat on the activity map to contribute to your overall heat map which can ultimately cause Screamers to spawn - so having a lot of Dew Collectors can generate a lot of heat and mean more Screamer Scout Zombies. (Sorry! I'm just the messenger!)

The removal of Jars in the game was in my opinion a rather stupid less immersive move by the no fun pimps.

[MothproofKT]

My friend and I just came back to this game after neither of us playing for a couple of years.

Absolutely floored by the fact they’ve removed jars. It made it far more realistic in terms of survival methods! Scavenging for containers, melting jars of snow to make water etc, it makes no sense they’ve gotten rid of this.

Thank you for sharing the tips. I literally found a purifier mod tonight so we will make use of it!
Will check out some more of your videos to see what other nonsense we’ve missed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Played A21 with my bud for the first time tonight. We abhorred the removal of the mason jars and the ridiculous changes to the perk system. However, being able to shoot through doors L4D style was perfect cool, and the addition of new POIs was a welcoming sight. A mixed bag of an update for me.

My problem is that they overkilled it because of a symptom of having access to lots of water. That being infinite stamina. People were just chugging water whenever stamina was low to no detriment to never have stamina issues. In response they nuked water collecting. I can easily think of 2 more lore accurate solutions without nuking the collecting. First, over hydration. You drink too much water, you get sick and throw up losing food as well. There is a reason the gallon of milk challenge is dangerous, and water is no exception. Your stomach is only so big. (Would also add overeating in a similar fashion) Second, make boiled water still run a risk of dysentery, but much lower. Boiling water is great but it doesn't make it completely safe, so make it still risky, or if you really want to make it hell, give water an infection chance, making you push for mineral water more. With just that you fixed the issue while still have lots of water.

New player to 7dtd and base building games, 7dtd was on sale on Steam for like £5 and I watch a lot of Neebs Gaming and their playthroughs so it kinda got me thinking about playing a game I don't normally go for (usually FPS, RPG, 4X).

Anyway I got it, fired it up and get into it, all was going okay, did some looting, spawned a distance away from the nearest trader so hunkered down near a lake in the Forest biome (Skeeters Place for those that know), Day 2 I looted some more houses got some mod for armour and a decent spear and a toilet pistol with some ammo, all good.

Started building a horde base with wood then upgrading to cobblestone. All was going well.

I didn't realise water goes down real quick in this game, found some murky water in POI's but not enough to survive for an amount of time so the next couple days I was wandering around aimlessly while dehydrated to the point where it was no stamina, couldn't run, couldn't harvest or do much, so went to Diersville I believe, cleared a few houses, got just enough murky water to boil on the fire and up my Stamina for the horde.

The first horde went well, considering it's my first time. The water problem however, didn't go away... until I googled A21 Water, and lo and behold this great guide popped up.

Now, do you remember in the 2nd paragraph I found some armor mod, that mod was a water purifier mod and I had it installed in my helmet... THE. ENTIRE. TIME.

FML, not to mention I was near quite possibly the biggest lake in Navesgane and just a literal skip and a jump outside my front door was a small pool of water that I could not only swim in, but gorge myself on as much water as I need.

spawned in shitty location, closest trader was 2.5km away and did NOT have the water purifier, prostituted myself to stay hydrated until I found cooking pot. Thanks for vitamins tip, I did not know that

[HydraEncrypto]

maybe they could replace the water filter attachment with a charcoal filter/straw/bottle of which you must replace the charcoal tablets every so often... adds realism to the game... oh yeah and bring back the empty jars and bottles... ruins the immersion without them

[gutterbilly]

I wouldn't have known about being able to drink from natural sources with that mod without this video. It didn't give me a prompt until I did it for the first time...lol

[Fluffi_Bunni]

The dew collector works underground as well as long as there's 5 blocks of space above it or a floor with a hole in the middle above it.

[dogfacemarc]

I am still laughing, "Well then you might have the worse luck in the game". Sometimes I do feel that way. Great video. Thank You.

[azurethegamerkobold]

Except the filters are like 2.2k dukes for one... unless your doing 3-4 quests in the first day you probably wont have the dukes to get a filter. The new system isn't good over all and i'm probably going to mod it out as soon as i can. But i'm giving it a go for 1 play through before i decide to do that. I just don't see the point, of this change... not only is it LESS real, but its not a fun change either.

[jamesmonroe-yolh]

Instead of using standard water picking the red or yellow flowers and make golden rod tea or red tea to maximize your water

[ajess]

Brought my friends back into the game after a year... played for 11 hours last night... they hate the mason jars removal and the skill overhaul.... meanwhile I'm just trying to enjoy the update

[darenabryant]

So wait... you think they're going to patch out the water filter helmet attachment because it's doing what it always did?

If they DO patch that so it doesn't work anymore, then I might quit playing the game. It'll be obvious at that point that the goal isn't to make a game... which by my definition at least is 'something you do for fun'... and more to make some vision of annoyance for those masochistic, hardcore+ types who love to suffer as entertainment.

[herveh]

Thanks for the video :) Wondering if there is a way to collect murky water from a lake to purify it in the fire coze i can't find/craft any jar ?

[reverendzombie]

I have a cooking pot campfire and thanks to your video I still don't know how to clean my murky water.

[MrEtatyomies]

1st and 2nd map... didn't find any lakes, bond or even murky water.. 3rd map going and looking better... so I can say.. I hit the most unluckiest start ever.. not even towns or cities... only 1 or 2 POI's
near 2.5km area

[MrPasetchnik]

Created a new game with 33% loot. Already died 3 times from dehydration and starving XD.

Thanks for the advise about drinkin from water sources.
drink from river + charred meat + Dysentery = survival )

[TylerTheFabricator]

I like alpha 21 but I got a forge ready to make bottles and I’m sad now
