FOOL's New Containers
Water Container Efficiency
Hey! I usually take the High Thirst trait when I start up a new save, and I got curious about the efficiency of using some of these containers compared to what the vanilla game allows. After taking a look in the files, I decided to throw together a list of how well everything from New Containers carries water for a survivor on the go.

Meanwhile, something like a vanilla Saucepan of Water is better at carrying water to-go than even the best water container the mod has to offer

It looks like nothing here is quite as efficient as a repurposed bottle of bourbon! Even the military canteen, which struck me as a bit odd. Do you think there's any chance you'll reconsider changing the ratios around? I really do love the bits of life around Kentucky this mod adds, but I can never really use any of the beverage containers long term, save for maybe the tubs when I'm moving water from place to place.

Finally someone raises an extremely valid point! The ratios in the mod are almost unusable

How come this didn't got any message/reply? It's a extremely important point.
Water to Weight Ratio is the foundation to apply usability for any beverage container, like the encumbrance reduction is for backpacks! I hope the reconsider these poins. If not, I hope someone see this and make a mod tweaking that.

Assuming the pop bottle is 2 litres (unless the USA typically has a different size) you could work out how much water each holds. The half gallon jug is nowhere near a half gallon.
