[GP] Guybrush Threepwood 626 Posted April 14, 2019 They do fill up over time when it rains, as long as they are open (barrels). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted April 14, 2019 Not sure if atlas has a Dew count for a slight increase every day, like Ark does. Otherwise it'd have to rain or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GP] Guybrush Threepwood 626 Posted April 14, 2019 Well barrels never filled over time unless it rained. I was originally in tropical region before wipe. But as for reservoirs I never used one so can't say anything about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitex 5 Posted April 14, 2019 Barrels filled over time in desert and other non-rain zones when no players near it ( offline or in another sector) it works even on ptr. Now it is broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savra 8 Posted April 14, 2019 Water Resavoirs fills up over time (last stand pre wipe and PTR) if they changed it - it is very bad vor dessert islands or islands without rain in ~24-48h. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BetoDS 6 Posted April 14, 2019 any official word on this? Having no water in desert really sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiily Mint 3 Posted April 14, 2019 Water is definitely a problem in the desert, we are on a island with no water and no rain...so no cooking, no growing, no dyes, never mind water to drink. Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talono 434 Posted April 15, 2019 Water barrels are broken. Before the patch they refilled when no player was close, now they dont refill any longer. Hopefully devs will repair that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forb Hidden 134 Posted April 15, 2019 Yesterday i had to fill up my stone-water-reservoirs by hand. Tooked three jars, a shovel and a lot of time. We also got a desert-island and this was the only way we could grow some wheat. The devs definitely hafe to take an eye on this. -implying some personal fountain? -implying several small freshwater-spots? -repair the stone barrels? -let it rain (not so often, because it's desert, but sometimes a little shower...?) At least: please fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talono 434 Posted April 15, 2019 I work with a shovel at the moment, of course the weapon switch and waste of time to dig is annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted April 15, 2019 24 water jars, 2 shovels and an ostrich = my water gatering solution until this gets fixed. It's actualy not too bad 10-15 mins for a 3/4 filled barrel. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uaf 47 Posted April 15, 2019 AFAIK, the water filling up over time was the bug, which was fixed in the latest PTR patches.. (Remember seeing something related to this, that they would no longer fill when in stasis) Not sure they will patch this as it was a bug to begin with  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't mind traveling to get water like any other resource, but pouring a jug of water into a single barrel 30 times is too much. (if it doesn't bug out and refuse to fill) If they sorted water transportation a little better I'll be happy to deal with it. "Water for sale, Get your fresh water here!" Edit: and sort out the resevour while we're at it, having the same capacity as a jug is dumb. Edited April 15, 2019 by Jack Shandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uaf 47 Posted April 15, 2019 Don't argue with the messenger  Just told you what I remembered from the PTR patch notes. I think they were added in the discord channel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uaf 47 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Ah no, could be mistaken. Found only this "Water Barrels now correctly gain water when unstasising, if the grid has experienced rain in that time" So it might have been something they changed during that time that was broken. Probably the lack of rain in desert areas was not registering with the barrels  Edited April 15, 2019 by uaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
photek 66 Posted April 15, 2019 there is rain in temperate areas  no rain in desert like areas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDO 361 Posted April 15, 2019 they need to do soemthing as a lot of players are set up in desert regions and will want to grow crops are they really expecting us to dig and fill water skins and jugs to make dyes / crops / cook ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
