How to drink water in Solarpunk

Thirst can become a real problem in Solarpunk if you ignore it for too long. Running becomes impossible, gathering resources takes longer and even simple tasks start to feel like a chore.

At first it doesn't seem like finding water should be a problem. You can't just drink from ponds. Instead, you need to create a rain collectorand we'll show you the process below so you can quench your thirst and continue your exploration!

How to build a rain collector for drinking water in Solarpunk

To get drinking water, you need to build a rain collectorwhich becomes available very early in the game. In fact, you will be prompted to do so during the tutorial. But before you can make a rain collector, you need one Research table. If you haven't created it yet, get the following materials:

• 8x Firewood (Obtained by chopping down trees with an axe)

• 1x Cloth (Obtained via harvesting cotton plants)

Once you have the materials, you can create the research table. It's one of the most useful stations in early game as it also gives you access to important recipes like the map and the bed, and in this case, the Rain Collector!

After placing the research table, interact with it and select the rain collector to start the research. Once that's done, you can go to your crafting table and build it with:

• 6x wood

• 8x stones

• 6x sticks

All of these materials are easy to find early in the game. You can break rocks with your pickaxe to collect rocks, and you'll often see some lying on the ground. Sticks are equally common and are usually scattered.

Once you have your rain collector, the next step is to place it somewhere it can actually do its job. The best place to place the rain catcher is outdoors, where it can catch rain without anything blocking it.
