Like many survival horror games, Sons Of The Forest contains a thirst meter. It would help if you kept an eye on this meter to avoid dehydration, which is always easier said than done. The earlier game required you to gather rainwater. However, its sequel is considerably more straightforward.
How To Store Water?
Those who don’t want to be constrained to living close to a dependable water supply might construct water collectors. So that there is less of a problem with thirst, which makes it possible to store and transport water. One method is finding a turtle and using its shell to construct a collector.
There are several ways to obtain water in Sons of the Forest, including:
- Taking a drink from a lake, river, or pond.
- Making use of the Rain Catcher.
- Energy drinks are being consumed.
- Consuming foraged foods such as berries and yarrow.
- You’re drinking from your flask.
Turtles may be found on the island’s neighboring beach beaches and can be hunted with any weapon. Only giant turtle shells may, however, be created. Once the surface has been collected, it may be transformed into a water collector in the inventory. The collector may be put in just about any place and will automatically fill up with rain.
The second approach involves printing a flask in 3D. This is more challenging since the printer needs to be more veiled. When utilizing the GPS, players will see flickering green circles. The position of the 3D printer is indicated by one of these circles as being the cave’s entrance.
On the island’s west side, the cave is close to the ocean. The entry lies at the base of a hill, and the marker is next to an abandoned golf buggy covered in vines. Enter the cave, then down the passage until you reach the light. Go toward the morning in a secure location with various resources, such as the 3D printer. Next, use the printer to make a flask out of printer resin. The flask may be refilled from any freshwater source.

How To Drink The Stream Water?
The majority of players used to struggle with this section. In older releases, a bug prevented the drink prompt from appearing if you had anything in your hand. In a patch, this has now been resolved.
You may now drink from a pond or stream without holding a weapon or the GPS. Holding a craftable spear, however, the prompt is still absent. This is not a bug since the spear is used to catch fish. Although there are two distinct button prompts, this is the case for good reasons. While fishing, you should hold a spear close to a water source; if you want to drink from the stream, you should instantly holster the spear.
You’ve probably already said, “No, you can’t drink from the ocean,” to a query. If you try this, no prompt will appear.
Finally, remember that if you have previously located the 3D printer, you presumably already have a flask that has to be filled with water when you’re at the stream. Find those as quickly as you can if you still need to.
What Are The Other Ways To Hydrate?
You can always locate the closest water source now that you know how to use the GPS. Nevertheless, if you are far from a water source and on the verge of being completely dehydrated, you should be aware of all of your alternative choices. The following techniques should only be used if you are stranded and need access to a nearby pond or stream. It should be noted that drinking from a water source may fill your thirst meter by more than half.
Other strategies may be found via scavenging but come with specific warnings. Although uncommon, energy drinks and similar items can be discovered on abandoned campgrounds. Alcohol and energy foods, for instance, the selected offspring, and neither of these would quench your thirst. You cannot consume alcohol since it is used in Molotov cocktails, as snacks are made to increase your energy meters more than your food meters.
If you’re near the water, why not try berries or oysters? However, the effects of eating oysters, blueberries, mushrooms, and salmonberries on your meters are so minor that you may not even notice a change. Even for your hunger gauge, which is what most of these items are designed for, don’t depend too much on them. You may still gather them if you wish but don’t expect them to make much of a difference.
However, there is one exception: yarrow. While yarrow provides just a tiny amount to your meters, it is more effective than other berries and mushrooms at soothing thirst. Having yarrow in your inventory may help quench your thirst, but oysters or berries will suffice if you don’t have any. Drinking pure spring water is the simplest method to remain hydrated. Even if you consider additional possibilities, your options are still restricted.
