[quote=“wad67, post:20, topic:4790”]Easier than making the water purifier is to gather up a shitload of rocks, build a fireplace and then simply boil all of your water.
It’s really easy if you have 2 jerry cans.[/quote]
I just don’t have the patience to keep repeating a crafting recipe and selecting the container.

hotkey the container(to something really easy, like “-”, then all you have to do is hold it down until you’re done.
The only time I ever used funnels was when I set the city size to 9 and zombie multiplier to 50. Couldn’t make any significant headway into the town until half the 356 year was over.
One big problem I found with masses of funnels was the sheer amount of work I had to do to empty all the funnels. The amount of clicks and key presses to take the water out and reset the funnel was just insane when you get up to 8 or more. One had to use every bit of water as I’ve found out early on that there’s a chance it might not rain for an exceedingly long time.
If you encounter the same problem, here’s a piece of code that will speed it right on up:
{
“type” : “recipe”,
“result”: “water”,
“category”: “CC_DRINK”,
“skill_used”: “cooking”,
“difficulty”: 0,
“time”: 0,
“reversible”: false,
“autolearn”: true,
“components”: [
[
[ “water”, 1 ]
]
]
}
What this essentially does is move water without picking up waterskins. Because the game has a 2 tile radius around the character for crafting materials and all liquids produced in crafting will prompt the user for a container, all you need to do to empty a container full of rain water is to have an empty container yourself and use this recipe. There’s no need to go through all the motions of picking up each individual waterskin, unloading it, and then dropping it back down. It does however do this one unit of water at a time, but then again that’s where craft until unable becomes incredibly handy.
Ah, I’ve read a crapton of complaints about funnels, but I’ve never had any problems with them myself. I just keep a few steel jerrycans of water around in my base, and when they run low, I toss them outside and slap a funnel on them and then in a few days I check them again and I have a full jerrycan of water.
The only problem that I’ve had is that sometimes when you have more than one down, some problems can occur. Sometimes for me, only one of them fills (sometimes partially) while the rest of them stay empty during a full-out thunderstorm, or none of them fill at all. Try putting one down out away from your base, in a field, away from any trees or buildings. It should work just fine.
