Setting Up Rainwater Collection and Bamboo Pump Water
Rainwater Collector
Place a Rainwater Collector outdoors. It gathers water over time from rain. Once it has collected water, you can fill a Leather Flask or a bucket from it. Use this as a passive source so you do not have to haul water manually.
Bamboo Pump
Place a Bamboo Pump to move water. It works alongside your cauldron and collector setup to keep water flowing to where you need it. Route its output toward a Campfire Cauldron or Copper Cauldron so purification happens automatically as water arrives.
Full Base Loop
1. Rainwater Collector gathers raw water.
2. Bamboo Pump moves it to a Campfire Cauldron or Copper Cauldron.
3. The cauldron purifies it into Purified Water.
4. Fill your Leather Flask (or higher tier) from the cauldron.
5. Store extra as a Purified Water Bucket.
Travel Prep
Before leaving base, fill your flask at the cauldron. Bring a Purified Water Bucket for emergencies. If you find another player's cauldron or your own outpost, refill there. This loop keeps you hydrated without drinking untreated water.
