Water Barrel Bug
Water Barrel Bug

This bug has to do with emptying the water from your pails
into the barrel itself.

I tested this out and even though I am no where near the actual barrel
I can right click on my pails in my pouches and do an "empty to" toe barrel
all you have to do is have the barrel selected and be a long ways away
from the barrel it will still let you empty into the barrel even if you are
no where close to it.

In reality you should have to be within 1 meter of the barrel in order to let you
empty into the barrel and not like 15m like I was doing when I tested this bug.
I was standing at the waters edge barely moving to fill my barrels up and that isn't
right.

If you want to duplicate it you can try this with any barrel or come try it with mine (Zone 699)
Fill up your 3 buckets with water at the river behind you.
stand at X: 249.86 Z: 40.06

Now the water barrel is over by the tent (X: 253.40 Z: 18.20) just target it and then
right click on one of your pails in your bag and say empty to and it will fill up the barrel with
water.

Really it should give you some kind of an error message and not fill the barrel and say
something like "You are too far away from the barrel try moving closer"
or something along those lines.

Can you please take a look at this issue please it shouldn't allow you to full your barrel when
you are like 15 m away from it.

Can you please look into this bug please?

Bellow are a couple screenshot showing this bug in action and how far away from the barrel
I was when I was successfully dumping water into the barrel and not being anywhere close to it

Can you put some better checking to see how close the person is to a barrel or not and
if they are greater than 1m away from a barrel then give some kind of error message
and not allow the barrel to be filled from that distance.

Thanks,

Not sure if this is a bug or not, as it's been around at least as long as I've been playing.

It also works the other way as well, you can fill a bucket/waterskin from the barrel as long as you are close enough to both see and select it.

yes this bug has been around a long time

and is one bug Id be happy not get fixed as it is very nice Quality of Life bug being able to
refill your waterskin from nearly anywhere in your tribe as long as you are able to click on the water barrel to select it.

Not exactly a bug, more of an oversight. I just never set up a distance checking function on this (and didn't really plan to honestly). Some things are left unrealistic to make game play easier.

I'll be working on simplifying some actions and controls after I'm done with creature / combat revisions and I'll revisit this then.

Thanks!

Note: Players are welcome to respond to bug reports. This is not, however a place for arguments. I will delete comments irrelevant to this report.

To make some things clear.

1) Technically this issue is not a bug as I did not implement a distance check on water barrels. As stated above, some things are left unrealistic to make game play easier. Using water barrels from a distance is not an exploit.

2) I am leaving this report here as I may revise this in the future as noted above.

3) Penning creatures was for a long while prohibited as trapping creatures in this manner was not an intentional part of the game. I've changed this stance to allow players to create zoos without exploiting creatures until I patch out the creature revisions I am working on.

Thanks and in the future please keep posts relevant to the bug report.
