I’m standing in shallow water with a plastic bottle how do I fill it up? I really need a drink.
Press ‘g’ then the game will ask for a container. You can just press enter without picking a container and it will ask if you want to drink with your hands. So you can drink and fill the bottle for latter.
Edit: Also, if you stand next the deep water you can use ‘e’ too drink from it. Deep water has a lower chance of making you sick.
I tried pressing ‘g’ and nothing happens.
Oh, sorry, ‘g’ doesn’t work, use ‘e’.
Cool thanks for that the help instructions also say ‘g’ 
Yeah, the tutorial also still says ‘g’ (or ‘,’).
Just died but I lasted a bit longer once I managed to drink some water. Started a pretty big forest fire as I was chased by a wolf, think I died of blood loss from an earlier battle with a zombie. Perhaps a cause of death screen would be useful at the end.
Use “@” key to check for status ailments like bleeding, poisoned etc so that you react quicker and maybe save your ass to live another day.
Yeah, I would say if you haven’t tried the tutorial yet (unless it’s borked and I am unaware of it), it goes through basic interaction commands so they’re …actually basic instead of hard to guess at. Helped me a lot.
It probably was bleed-out, and in the future, you can go to your knife in inventory and (a)pply it, and pick 4 for cauterizing. Not a fun option, but a survivable one heh.
Yeah, I would not recommend the tutorial. I don’t think that thing has been updated since, well, at least since DDA started, maybe earlier than that too.
