You're right, d3vilsangel04, I came off overly negative. I'm sorry. Let's improve things.You know u really don't need to be rude. If you dont want to do it then DON'T. its not like im saying "if u dont use this exploit something horrible will happen" lol and yes it is unrealistic but so is crash landing on a dry dusty planet with monsters and u actually survive! lol I don't expect it to be realistic just like the rest of the game isn't completely realistic...i didnt post it to start a fight so just drop it. There is no reason to take this way out of proportion. But i put it up there for the people that, like me, suck at this kind of stuff but still like the mod pack and want to play it. Without this exploit there is no way i could play i would die a billion times, trying to get into some of the ME stuff and not even noticing that im dehydrated then its too late to even try and find a way to make water, i wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else but food and water. This pack is very hard for me and the etching acid into water makes it playable (but still hard).
I do recommend for people to avoid any exploits. At the very least, it makes your screenshots and accomplishments more meaningful when you can do it "legitimately."
This is a fantastic thread for picking up tips and (non-exploitive) tricks. If you're getting stumped somewhere, the community is generally going to ensure you can progress to the point that you no longer "suck at this kind of stuff."
Using SFM as an example: its "Steve's Factory Manager", and its a rather complex and extremely powerful logistical mod. In this case it will allow you to move water, bottle it and store it. See youtube videos on it, you'll be impressed (once you get over the learning curve)[DOUBLEPOST=1408461194][/DOUBLEPOST]
Assume I know nothing about modding. Why do some fluids pick up themselves (water) when bottled, whereas others (etching acid) produce a default (of water)? Would the problem be solved by a modder adding a "bottle of etching acid" object?Etching acid being drinkable is an exploit. It is also one I can't fix. So, you are breaking the intention of the pack, but I can't stop you.
And Direwolf. 50k new people watching my pack. No pressure.
