Maybe it would embarrass someone like you. But I got my answer and that's all that matters to me. I was directed exactly to the location of the answer, without having to search for it myself. Mission accomplishe...

Originally posted by Vasti: I've been waiting years to be able to get creative with water in this game. And if you ever mess with water at all, it looks atrocious and you can never get it to do what water actually does. Holes in the middle of lakes. Water not flowing to its own level if you try to bucket it in. Don't you find that embarrassing?

Originally posted by cesa210: Then why thee yellow ones last forever (more like an hour or more) the same for red ones.

All three should be lasting 20 minutes. However, this is 20 minutes of time being in a loaded chunk- If you make a lootbag, immediately drive off into the sunset, and return an hour later, it likely still has somewhere around 19~ minutes of duration left to it even though an hour passed.

On horde night, though, you're sitting there the whole time keeping the bags loaded.

Bags can take damage and be destroyed.

On a normal game they last 20 minutes real life time. This is as intended.

Possible Fix for Restoring a Corrupted Save

Can you? Yes. Unfortunately I don't personally know how. Going to move your post to the modding subforum where it's more likely you'll receive a knowledgeable answer.

Giving benefit of the doubt, they bought the game on a sale recently and now that they've got some free time to play coming up, they're seeking information about the game before loading it up- Just in case it's refund worthy.

The OP's dealbreakers then become
1: If the game is a big grind that takes way too long- This is something the OP won't be able to find out in the 2hr refund window.
2: They prefer solo, but if the game is only playable in MP they're still willing to try it: then finding a good server is a time consuming task- They might not even find one that fits their needs before the 2h... Read more

Radiation zones currently only exist at the edge of the map to prevent you from reaching the map edge, iirc. And no, hazmat does not currently work, since the current point of the edge radiation is to prevent you from getting to the map edge.

I've heard talk of a coming radiation zone type biome, and I would guess hazmat will work then- But when it'll be implemented I have no idea.

Personally I love the game. It's not super slow progression, it's a decent pace. And it can absolutely be played solo. If you're interested in MP there's server and meeting room subforums on the right side when looking at the general discussions -->

I like that idea. Olly olly oxen free . It addresses the problem, while if one leaned on this mechanic habitually, they'd just be losing a lot of time before the next Blood Moon.

Originally posted by FT: Water in TheLongDark is super easy. You just collect bottles or snow and boil it to make potable water wherever you end up indoors if there's a stove/grill (most places have) or outdoors at a campfire if the weather isn't awful.

Water in Zomboid is super easy at first while electricity and water works (unless you crank difficulty or get super unlucky), and still pretty easy with a common pot and campfire.
Also very easy if you find a well...if that hasn't been nerfed.

TheForest's way of doing things is a bit frustrating and feels contrived/forced (rainwater I collect is fine but if it collects somewhere else it's suddenly "bad")?

Originally posted by FT: I think the main problems making some things super easy are that you can currently visit a single POI on your first day and walk away with 10+jars with some containing coffee and boiled water so thirst is instantly not an issue, and by day1-2 you can craft a forge to make infinite jars for infinite glue/tape.

Those issues are instantly solved by making jars non-craftable and making EmptyJars+BoiledWater non-lootable, and maybe making murky water a little rarer in loot if needed.
Boom. No infinite jars, no pile of easy drinks from a single POI.

Find a single jar of any liquid, drink it-> infinite water ala the above. No infinite jars needed- Just a single jar, a water source, and a way to cl... Read more

In A20, A single jar, 5 stone, and 1 wood lets you craft boiled water next to any water source, and the materials can be sourced almost anywhere in any biome- and water sources are pretty common in A20 too. Sacrifice an inventory slot to carry a pot if you're enforcing the cooking pot requirement.

That almost sounds like something, you would expect as a survival-mechanic in a survival-game.
