How to Get Boiled Water in Once Human

Learn how to get boiled drinking water in Once Human. Discover methods for purifying water, collecting rainwater, and setting up water pumps for survival.

In the harsh world of Once Human getting clean water is crucial for survival. The Stardust pollution has contaminated most water sources making them unsafe to drink. But there are ways to purify water and stay hydrated.

This guide will show you how to get boiled water and set up water collection systems in Once Human.

How to Get Boiled Water in Once Human

The easiest way to get safe drinking water is to boil dirty water. Here’s how:

1. Find a water source like a stream or pond.
2. Stand in shallow water until you see the “Collect Dirty Water” prompt.
3. Gather dirty water bottles.
4. Head to your base and use a Stove to boil the water.

To craft a Stove you’ll need to unlock the Cooking 101 Memetic in the Logistics tab. This requires Ciphers and Energy Links.

Once you have a Stove select the Boiled Water recipe. It takes 3 bottles of dirty water and 2 seconds to make one bottle of clean water.

Boiled water gives +20 Hydration when consumed. Don’t carry too much dirty water as it has weight.

Building a Rain Water Collection System in Once Human

Another way to get water is by building a Rainwater Collection System. To do this:

1. Unlock the Water Gathering Skill Memetic under Logistics.
2. Craft a Water Bucket using these materials:

Material	Quantity	How to Get
Log	50	Chop trees
Adhesive	5	Explore or disassemble items
Metal Scraps	15	Explore or disassemble items

3. Build a Rainwater Collection System with:

Material	Quantity	How to Get
Log	30	Chop trees
Shabby Fabric	15	Explore or disassemble items
Rubber	5	Explore or disassemble items

Place the Rainwater Collection System in your base. It will gather dirty water when it rains.

Connect it to a Water Bucket with a pipe for more storage. Make sure the collection system is above the bucket for proper water flow.

Setting Up Water Pumps in Once Human

For a steady water supply set up Water Pumps. There are two types:

Large Water Pump

• Draws water from the ground
• Needs 10 watts of electricity
• Can collect crude oil from oil fields

To craft a Large Water Pump you’ll need:

Material	Quantity	How to Get
Steel Ingot	25	Smelt Iron Ore in a Furnace
Carbon Fiber Fabric	20	Explore or disassemble items
Refined Parts	20	Explore or disassemble items
Standard Parts	20	Explore or disassemble items
Electronic Accessory	20	Explore or disassemble items

Small Water Pump

• Moves water upwards through pipes
• Uses 1 watt of electricity

To make a Small Water Pump gather:

Material	Quantity	How to Get
Steel Ingot	30	Smelt Iron Ore in a Furnace
Refined Parts	10	Explore or disassemble items
Electronic Accessory	2	Explore or disassemble items

Place the Large Water Pump on the ground and connect it to power. Use Small Water Pumps to move water upwards. Connect pipes to lead water into Water Buckets for storage.

Remember all collected water is still dirty. Boil it before drinking!
