If you build a barrel on a roof over an existing sink, you can plumb the sink in if you have a pipe wrench. I've done this at Cortman Medical - plumbed in the sink in the kitchen and also the upstairs bathroom like this.

you could also bucket that "wild" water up to your barrel on the second floor, so you will get clean water from the sink

That ending shot reminds me of a dream I had as a kid that sticks out in my mind, being stuck upstairs unable to leave because a horde of zombies is just chilling downstairs & for some reason the weapon I chose to arm myself with was an electric flyswatter.

Water is overrated True men drink mayonnaise

Tainted pond water wont kill you, if you drink it directly. The game kinda still does not treat it as dangerous for some reason, although filling it in a bottle will probably make someone sick. PrivateLime lately played a character and constantly drinking "funny water" without ever getting to see the "sick"-moodle.

I've never lived long enough to have to drink tainted water

For up-to-date concerns: If the water dispenser runs out of water, it will automatically refer its next water storage that is placed adjacently a-floor above itself. Shortly, this 9x9 Rain collector method still works!

Maybe a fair thing to mention to new players (the one you skillfully left out) would be the little detail/fact that for making stairs and barrel water collectors you need a carpentry level of a whooping SEVEN. Plumbing takes some skill too if i remember correctly. So new players trying this will basically go like "wtf.. i can't do that" not knowing they need some skills to actually get there. simply put : just boiling the water : no skill required, takes 10 seconds plumbing and making water collectors : carpentry level 7, tons of wood, garbage bags and nails + hammer, saw, axe, wrench... see what i mean? maybe fair to mention that one way is simple and the other is well.. not so much? and wouldn't having the low attention span be affected more by doing the more complex method? lol

Pro-tips are back! Collect rain water or use rivers or ponds for unlimited water! Waow! Next up: how to LIVE in Project Zomboid - don't die!

...Only if you want to live like an animal. Rain barrel on a roof (or even out a second floor window 1 tile adjacent) above a sink, plumb with the pipe wrench, this filters it safe to drink. Multiple barrels can be plumbed. The fishing stores usually have the good barrels to loot if you lack the carpentry skills. There are some metal barrels that hold 800 in LV. The barrels will fill in the rain, but can be filled with buckets and pots from a tainted source and the sink filters it. Pro tip: Snow doesn't add to your rain barrels, so be prepared for winter with extra water storage.

thank you for being so straight forwarded

for your information, rain water is toxic, so if you just plumb it you get a nice supply of ................ tainted water, you have to build a filter with gravel (grey floor in the garage entry of a house) sand (yellow floor at the entry of a house or in the sidewalk and a plastic bottle, once you have the filter you install one filter in each sink and THEN you have drinkable water

another hard watch Spoodle! Keep up the work

You can also drink from puddles during rain, and you won't get sick. Laplaplaplaplaplap.

This works even on buildings that are already there and that have a concrete roof and pre-existing sinks. The only requeriment for this to work is that the sink (either built by yourself or already there) has to be in "inside" space. Worked on the second floor of the Muldraugh's north warehouse and putting barrels on the top floor.

he man i really love your videos, keep up the good work

That bottom floor in the outro threw me for a loop, das hilarious.

For the pond water, you actually don't even need lemongrass, resting for a bit will cure you of sickness (I've been told that filling it into a container is fatal tho)

"now in the world of project zomboid, water is pretty nice to have"

If you have big containers, you can fill the water manually from the water source, and pour it in the water container

i put a ton of barrels ontop of the school in Riverside above the upstairs bathrooms, so ive got like 10 sinks and 20+ toilets to work with

Drinking tainted water (at least straight from river/lake) won't be fatal, this was afaik made so MP doesn't end in bad situations (Such as somehow an Entire City or town Sinks end destroyed/lost and thus no ability to actually get safe water in large amounts anymore) due to impolite or excessive player looting everything even if Nailed/Bolted to a solid surface.

People been saying you can do preexisting sinks with concrete roofs. Has anyone tried the sinks that have a regular rooftop over that doesn't go up a full level? example: The fire station in rosewood has a sink off of the main vehicle bay with a regular roof over it that appears to only go up half a floor.

Maybe its a mod I have on as I haven't tested in Vanilla PZ yet, but putting the pond water in the rain water barrel auto purifies it. So if you need that pond water but have no lemon grass, use buckets to haul the pond water to the rain water barrels and you got yourself some clean water

Would you have the option to take pond water and put it into the rain barrels that are connected to the sink?

This is revolutionary 😱

I think that this could be very useful

I drank pond water yesterday and my character didn't get the sickness Icon, he was really thirsty so must have had a good drink (He got eaten yesterday though so...). I'm wondering if you can develop iron gut naturally?

The ultimate lifehack we all needed, but not the one we deserved >:]

DUDE the house you are in at thee end is the house im living lol

Also collect water coolers as that gives you even more water on back up

Can anyone help, ive done everything exactly i just cant plumb the sink with my wrench

The last 20 seconds!

I usually run weak stomach, will this change things?

Is it still viable? I did the same exact thing but the sink still has tainted water tooltips.

You can safely drink water from ponds/lakes/rivers as long as you're not low on HP. But remember not to drink it from a bottle or any kind of canister, just drink it directly

Does the order of plumbing sink have to be first sink them barrels? I build barrels above, then I put in a sink but I'm not getting the plumb option.

is there a way to pump lake water to a sink?

Water concerns are a joke in this build, they need to remove it from sinks and subs in all houses and give the option to manually plug and fill tubs or else.

0:12 how old is that clip?? it doesnt work like that for ages anymore. You need sources left and right and not in a square formation

I come here because my game has already started with the water supply cut off. *pain*

There should be more than enough waterbottles to last you a good while even with high thirst ylur bottle doesnt run out terribly fast

Cant place the sink ont a Crate :(( And if i just put it on the wall it doesnt work.

someone pls tell me how tf i pick up a sink it dont work the way he showed

Build your base right next to the river. Voila.

Pretty sure just sipping straight from a lake won't kill you

Just pour the pond water into the rain collector

Never died by drinking tainted water, i did die however by eating poisonous mushrooms. Apparently i made a wrong assumption that food nutriest trait would let me identify what food is save to eat, now i know better.

In the past builds, you can only plumb the sink if you build the rain barrels adjacent to the sink tile, (1 floor above, of course). Did they change it so that you can build right on top of the sink now?

There's a trait for that

you can drink tainted water without having to eat any grass, just not too much

cant you just fill containers with tainted water from a lake and pour it into the rain barrel that is connected to the sink? then you can drink from the sink and it will be safe

“Probably”

what kidn of crate is that

What about wells?

Is building 9 barrels that useful? From my experience only one barrel get connected via plumbing.

drop a lighted campfire in middle of the river and all water is boiled now

or you could just find a well

IM HERE

Or just grab a old bucket and fill with pond water then fill the rain collector 😅

How do you build a barrel? It is not in my crafting list.

Make sure to grab water coolers from office buildings for the overflow. 250 water storage isn't anything to sneeze at.

It hasn’t rained in a month and my car broke down in the middle of the forest. I’m cooked.

Eat grass? If I knew what that was I wouldn't play PZ!

It'd be nice if we could dig a well😏

in my house i use metal barrels to colect rain, just use a mod to craft them and install it like a normal wood barrel and done each one have the 2 times more that normal barrels and i even make my base in the gas station near the north direction of the river, i turn that dusty place in a mega base without build anything just moving furniture here and there

0:50 "we dont have magic shenanigans" ........... barrel on roof = clean water from sink that isnt even connected by pipes Oo Physics!

I've been playing this for hundreds of hours, and I'm just now learning that you can plumb sinks while holding a pipe wrench. I am not a smart man lol

I thought drinking tainted water kills you but it doesn't. You get nauseous and then sick. I think in summer or during heavy exercise or overheating you might need to drink more water and then it might be a problem, but otherwise you're fine. Better to have clean water though, obviously.

It’s not even that hard to get water

Meat reveal?!?

0:20:I'm sorry what?What on earth is the point of collecting rainwater then if its also contaminated?Might aswell use river water if that's the case XD. That's so freaking stupid rainwater is supposed to be CLEAN not contaminated wtf. Edit:Nvm didn't comment before I watched the entire video XD. So rainwater magically becomes clean if it goes through barrels into a sink:Got it XD

So i want to say that Rain water is deadlier than river water as long as you don't drink a lot of river water (deadly dose : about 20 units refreshes daily) you should be safe
