Water for Tarr Control

Ponds and springs in the Far, Far Range; use the VacPack water tank near a Tarr outbreak.

Before you go

Locate a pond or spring and vacuum water into the VacPack tank.
Keep the water supply available while exploring or moving among slime groups.
When Tarr appear, aim the water stream at them to destroy them before they reach more slimes.
Check the surrounding area for additional Tarr and clear those threats as well.
Avoid vacuuming Tarr plorts into a ranch corral; clear the area before collecting ordinary plorts.
Refill the tank at the next water source before continuing to another risky area.

Refill before a long trip through areas with dense slime groups rather than waiting until an outbreak begins.
Leave nonessential inventory space open if you plan to collect water and nearby plorts during the same outing.

Repeatable whenever you refill at a water source; each tankful is consumed when used, so refill between outbreaks.

Leaving without the Water Tank upgrade: collect water only after unlocking the VacPack capacity for it.
Trying to collect plorts while Tarr remain nearby: clear the threat first so it cannot spread.
Assuming one tankful covers every encounter: refill at ponds or springs as needed.

Stop the collection or ranching activity until nearby Tarr are gone; resume once the area is clear and refill before moving on.
