Fluid Storage

Simple mod that diversifies fluid storage, giving each container a purpose. This mod is a spiritual successor to More Fluid Storage by Angry Static.

Waterskin
Liquid in this item counts for 75% of their normal encumbrance.

Canteen
Capacity raised to 128 drams
Liquid in this item counts for 90% of their normal encumbrance.

Camel Bladder
Capacity raised to 256 drams
When worn, liquid in this item counts for 25% of their normal encumbrance.

Clay Jug
Capacity raised to 1024 drams

Jugs (and all subcategory of jugs) are now specialized for long term liquid storage at a base or outpost. Grab a few when you are in red rock!

Catch Basin
Capacity raised to 8192
Its a massive tub, why could this only hold 64 drams?

Use 'not nailed down' and recoilers or spawn one in with your console if you want one in your base.


Jerrycan
Capacity of 512 drams
When held in hand, liquid in this item counts for 50% of their normal encumbrance.
Added to loot tables, you can almost always find one at Mafeo's shop or anywhere waterskins are sold.

Rules are the same as a camel bladder but the item cant be worn on your back. Saying "when worn" for when its held in your hand felt weird

Kleine Bottle
Capacity of 8192 drams
Item, and contained liquid weigh nothing.
Added to loot tables, you will find them semi-uncommonly late-game.

Be very careful of normality effects or find yourself stuck in place by hundreds of pounds of water.

The game lacks any means of efficient large scale liquid transport and storage. It intends for you to first convert water into precious metals or other trade goods but this is not possible with liquids such as honey, blood, oil, and other useful stuff.

Flexible Container Effect
Transporting water has a number of issues beyond weight. Water held in a rigid container will slosh around and compromise balance. Flexible containers like a waterskin mitigate this like a car's crumple zone, making liquids 'lighter'.

Camel Bladders and Jerrycans
These pieces of equipment are specialized for liquid transport. It is much easier to hike 50 miles with water on your back than it is in your arms, trust me. From a gameplay angle they take up valuable equipment slots, so 32 drams was downright awful.

Jugs and the Catch Basin
What is the purpose of a jug if it cannot hold more fluid than a waterskin 1/5th of its weight? What have humans used jugs for since the neolitic period?

Keep a catch basin in your main base, and recoil jugs over to an outpost to keep topped off on oil, cider, and honey while exploring.

The Kleine Bottle
I don't know if this item is realistically useful, nor is it realistic period. From my gameplay testing it killed me literally every time I forgor about normality gas and got effectively rooted in place. Still I wanted an glittertech bottle and the only way to go is extradimensional storage.

I am open to adding any user suggestions. I will add a tinkering mod to water containers that raises capacity, and potentially add the 'flexible container effect' of the waterskin to the camel bladder for when it isnt equipped.
