suddenly i found myself unable to craft any recipe that contains water in it’s required components, while previously in the same game i could do it just fine. Even if i have water in different containers from different sources, the game does not recognize any of it (marked with red, as missing). Yet i can still drink it unpurified from said containers…

Where are you storing the water? Have you been keeping it in a minifridge? Also, keep in mind that clean water and water are considered seperate things for the purposes of crafting.

it’s stored everywhere around me, in my inventory too. Game just does not see it when trying to craft anything.
