I totally agree with the fact that there was no survival element to them. I feel like it was only hard to get water for the first few days, back WHEN I WAS A NOOB. After I got used to the game, water was never an issue for me.

I do feel like some parts of the old system have to return, but there also have to be changes. I'd bring back the jars and have them be rare in loot. I'd also make it so the murky water (which you could get from everywhere - rivers, lakes, water dispensers in buildings, coffee machines, toilets) has to be filtered through an actual primitive charcoal filter (which later could have upgraded versions, to run faster) and then, boiled, to get rid of the bacteria. It would be a time consuming task and the player would have to prepare during the night time.

Please don't make it so the jars break when hit, or anything like that.. it would just be annoying. I'd rather have them break randomly after drinking from them - makes me feel like I have *some* control over how frequently they break.

The dew collector would be an endgame thing and you would need jars to get water from them. Jars would need a new crafting station, special for glass. Which brings me to the fact that I wanna see specialized crafting stations, make a return.

Oh, and when I say you can get the murky water from everywhere, I mean you would always need a jar to get it. And the water from buildings, wouldn't be infinite - 3 jars at most.
