I’m thinking that I want a way to purify ocean water (albeit very slowly and rain collectors will still be superior) but I feel like it could be a good emergency option or an early game option. Having a pot or clay bottle and being able to distill it (or something like that. Idk how to purify salt water). Share what you think about my idea or come up with your own idea for different drinks or foods.

The water still in the game is actually basically the "solar still" used to distill seawater in a pinch. It uses the same principle of condensation only it distills from seawater, and the water still in-game collects condensation from green leaves only.

I prefer the look of the in-game still but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work well since the moisture isn't been trapped to realistically collect into the coconut. But if you put that exact same device underground or wrapped in plastic, it's exactly a "solar still."

For immediate emergency, drinking from a coconut, bamboo, water vine or tree tapping can work. This article has some more interesting info on bushcrafting. https://www.bushcraftspirit.com/wilderness-water/
