A water bottle is an essential water containing item in Project Zomboid.

Usage

A water bottle will automatically satiate the player's thirst, so long as it's in the players main inventory (i.e. not in a bag).

The empty bottle is the resulting product after consuming/emptying a bottle of bourbon (or water).

The bourbon bottle is slightly better than a standard water bottle, weighing 0.7 when full and holding 12.5 units of water, in comparison to a standard bottle's 0.8 weight and 10 unit capacity

Refilling

The contents will gradually deplete, therefore requiring to be refilled. A water bottle can be filled so long as it isn't full. To refill a water bottle, either:

1. Right-click a water containing item in the player' inventory (e.g. cooking pot with water) and left-click "Pour into" > "Water Bottle".
2. Right-click a water source (i.e. sink, well, rain collector, etc.) and left-click "Fill" > "Water Bottle".

Water from rivers or rain collector barrels will be tainted, causing the player to become sick.

After a random number of days, the waterworks will shut off, requiring the player to survive on scavenged water or what is left in cisterns and house systems.

Crafting

The empty bottle can be used as a component in crafting.
