Settlement resources
Collect purified water for crafting supplies
Set aside settlement-produced purified water for recipes and healing before selling surplus.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect purified water for crafting supplies
Workshop inventory at a settlement with powered water purifiers, such as Sanctuary Hills.
Before you go
- Access to a settlement workshop with a valid water source.
- Powered purifiers appropriate to that source.
- Water production sufficient to create surplus beyond settlement demand.
Farming steps
- At Sanctuary Hills or another suitable settlement, inspect the resource panel for water production and demand.
- Build purifiers at the valid water source and connect them to sufficient generator power.
- Confirm the settlement panel reflects the water system before waiting for output.
- After production has had a chance to accumulate, open Workshop inventory and check for Purified Water.
- Withdraw enough water to cover your intended crafting or healing reserve.
- Store the reserved amount in a safe container or keep it with your character as needed.
- Sell only the amount left after the reserve is set aside.
- Collect from Workshop storage and confirm the amount actually available; production capacity is not the same as stored output.
- Recheck settlement demand if water stops appearing, since surplus depends on the settlement's conditions.
Repeat, collect and use
Check Workshop storage periodically and collect available surplus. The amount and timing are conditional, with no fixed yield promised.
Common mistakes
- Selling the entire supply before crafting can leave you without recipe ingredients; reserve what you need first.
- Assuming a purifier produces water without sufficient power or valid placement can waste building materials; verify the resource panel.
- Expecting a set collection interval or quantity can mislead planning; inspect inventory and adjust to actual output.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting when you have enough water for planned uses; sell or leave remaining surplus and revisit when your reserve runs low.
