A Water Collector provides a passive clean-water reserve at camp that you can collect and use to refill travel containers after rain.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
An exposed spot at your base where the Water Collector can gather rain.
Set up a Water Collector where rain can reach it, then make it part of your return-to-base routine. The collector gathers rainwater for clean water; it does not provide a guaranteed refill on demand, so keep a waterskin or old pot available to take the stored water with you. This is a camp supply loop for maintaining a reserve between trips, rather than a way to obtain water while away from base.
A waterskin or old pot if you want to carry collected water.
Gather a Turtle Shell and four sticks for the collector.
Build the Water Collector at camp in a spot exposed to rain.
Leave it in place while you continue normal surface or base activities.
When you return after rain, check the collector for gathered water.
Use a waterskin or old pot to collect water for travel, if you have one.
Keep the filled container with your cave supplies and drink from it when needed.
Check the collector again on later returns and take any gathered water before setting out.
Farming tips
Place the collector where you can check it during regular returns to camp.
Refill your travel container from collected rainwater before leaving, rather than counting on finding water en route.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the check-and-collect loop whenever rain has gathered water. Collection depends on rain, so this is a renewable camp reserve but not an immediate or guaranteed refill.
Common mistakes
Leaving camp without checking the collector: inspect it before a trip and carry water when available.
Expecting the collector to fill without rain: keep another water plan for dry periods or travel.
Building it where you cannot easily access it: choose a reachable exposed place at camp.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting when your travel container is full or you have enough water for the planned trip; check again after returning and after further rain.
