rufierto 0 Posted June 27, 2019 Me and a friend just switched to PVE and when we drink from water barrels with water, it makes the drinking sound but does not hydrate us at all. Anyone know what is going on there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer Keen 17 Posted June 28, 2019 Not tried drinking directly from them as I always just put my water skin in them which fills it up and drink from that. That way certainly works. Will test the other when I get home later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sydhart 163 Posted June 28, 2019 If the barrel is empty it will still make the sound just FYI. If you are in a desert biome the water barrels are almost useless and you'll need to set up a system of wells for hydration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in the desert. Edited to add: you are correct in that they no longer fill. I fill up barrels in a fresh water source. Sorry for any confusion.

Kummba 164 Posted July 2, 2019 Yeah, just unload a full shipbarrel from time to time. Or tame a cow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=MGC=Ranger 77 Posted July 2, 2019 Barrels wont fill in Desert (it doesnt rain), but they will hold water and retain water if you keep the lid closed. Leave the lid open and the water will dry up. back to the OP, maybe it was just a glitch? I have had no issues drinking out of barrels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
