## Description

#### REQUIRES [https://sotf-mods.com/mods/brutechiefton/uicoordinator](https://sotf-mods.com/mods/brutechiefton/uicoordinator)

 What to expect[#](#md-requires-httpssotf-modscommodsbrutechieftonuicoordinator-what-to)

#### Filling a flask or pot from a clean source will give you clean water. Drinking from a clean source will not make you sick, it will actually clear some sickness (just like clean/boiled water).

 Doing the same at a dirty water source will still give you dirty water and make you sick as normal.

_Note: Only the water sources on the surface have been mapped.

 The mod works by querying against the water graph to find the nearest node. An unmapped water source will therefore use the nearest one, which may or may not not make sense.

 If this bothers you, please use the in-game editor (F7, add last target) to add a node and program it as desired.

 Caves and their water sources are currently unmapped._

 Details[#](#md-filling-a-flask-or-pot-from-a-clean-source-will-give-you-clean-w)

The mod comes with a water graph that I drew by hand. I marked all the rivers and streams as clean, and every stagnant pool/pond as dirty.

 Each new save's water graph will be loaded from this canonical graph. You can see and edit the water graph by pressing F7.

 Changes made will be saved when you save your game. Different saves can have different graphs.

 To overwrite the default water graph, press export.
 To reload the default, press reload.

 Dedicated server graphs cannot be edited at this time.
