Water Gathering

Description
This mod requires the awesome mod Interactive World by author Stupendous Man to function properly. Link here if you dont have it :

So I love IW, it is integral to my gameplay. One thing that I always in my playthroughs is to build in places where water was nearby. It allowed me to put up fishing poles and nets and feel IMMERSED, but I always wondered why I couldn't gather water for... water things. Yes you have the rain harvest barrel, but it doesn't rain in certain arid regions. But that little stream right there should work, right?

What this mod aims to do is make water harvesting its own workstation (yes it works like a well, so place where you want, but for the sake of IMMERSION maybe try to place it by, idk, a river or something) that is in the tech tree provided by IW. This leads to the second part of what this mod does.

I like mods like consumable liquids that give you the option to "drink" your liquid foods. I mean, you're characters are in a desert, but nobody drinks anything? No. Unacceptable.

This mod will also make water barrels into water jugs! That you can "drink"! One barrel = 4 jugs. They won't raise your hunger bar incredulous amounts (half of what dried meat does), but it seems like a something that could be useful in a campsite in a desert.

These two features are unlocked by researching "Lets start to survive" in the IW tech tree I know the workbenches aren't spectacular (they're barrels) but its the best I could do for the time being.

Can the water collected be used to water crops? if your in a region with no rain, and no ground water, but are nearby enough to the wetlands?

@InsideOutlander thanks for your kind words! I've never tried setting up a kofi account (first I've heard of it honestly), but I do love coffee. If you want to send a little love my way I would appreciate it! I'll add a link in the description!

@paperkut808, thank you for taking the time to make the improvement! I appreciate your mindfulness and creativity. Do you have a kofi or anything like that? I wouldn't mind slipping you a few.

@InsideOutlander, I have added storage for water, shouldn't require an import, hopefully it does the trick. I was just thinking about how that was an issue as well.

I like this mod, but storage is a bit of a problem. Is there a way for you to mod it so the water jugs can be stored in the survival food barrel or in a separate barrel of their own?

@Dekent, I know it's been a while, but I looked into the tech tree issue you mentioned after it had happened to me as well. Turns out I had accidentally changed the requirement to lvl 1 instead of 0. Should be corrected now.

@donald.nintendo so I just dismantled both the water jug filling station and the water collection station, and neither one caused a crash. the only thing I can think of may be either load order or an import to ensure proper functioning of the mod (the standard bug fixing advice for all mod related problems lol). If you've already done both of those things and are still having issues, then I'm just as much at a loss as you are. I will go into FCS and look to see if there might be anything that could cause problems, but I tried to make this mod as simple as possible to avoid any kind of problems like the one you're facing now. Let me know if you've tried checking load order and importing and we can go from there.

@Dekent I started a new game with this mod and did not have a similar issue. Are you playing with mods that have unique starts? I know that @Stupendous Man has included blueprints for the survival tree throughout the game world at various traders in the event the tech tree doesn't show up (your particular issue apparently also seems to have occured enough w/ IW to warrant this addition into the mod). I didn't remove anything from the original mod, just added a category into "lets start to survive". I'll look into it and see if I can recreate it on my end just to double check.
