Nope. The acid rain problem with trap-type funnels is much simpler, because you can just replace the contents of the tank under the funnel. You can’t do it with clean water tanks, because they can only store clean water. With generic liquids, the tank’s contents could be replaced with acid water, like with regular funnels.
From what I heard, acid rain is planned to return - it got cut out due to weather becoming a local thing, not because it was bad.
Yeah, I thought about a separate car part out of water purifier+funnel. It would be kinda weird to cover your entire roof in water purifiers, though. It should be one purifier and many funnels.
There could also be car funnels that only work when the car also has a purifier. But it would look bad to have funnels that can only produce water when it can be purified.
There could also be a dirty water tank as a separate part, but then the water would require a separate faucet flag and part, just for the dirty water. This would probably be the least ugly one on the outside, but it would cause problems with water cannons later on (water and clean water would have to be different types of ammo).
As for retroactive - I don’t actually know how hard it would be to implement. It could be trivial, it could be problematic. Implementing it would benefit solars (they’d start working independently from the reality bubble), so it is generally a good idea - if it can be done easily.
It’s not that it’s undoable or anything, it’s just that implementing it right now could cause more problems than implementing it a bit later on.
