📋 About This Mod
Updated for V3.
Now, stacks are 10 murky water per slot, so long as you have the Tarp mod in the Tools slot of the Dew Collector. Otherwise, you get one murky water per slot. It is possible to speed this up further with the new line in V1, but it is already fast enough.
What now happens in V1+ is that once the bar fills up in the Dew Collector (depending on the speed of the mod variant) with the Tarp mod/tool, you get 10 bottles of murky water. Cook in the campfire with a pot to get drinkable water.
Tip for Alpha 21+ only (this is a new block in this game update.)
I've kept the Alpha 21+ files for those that may still require them.
Please manually install this mode as per the INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS below. Do not use Vortex as that incorrectly reports an issue with my ModInfo, I use the new V2 format for A21. I don't use the ModInfo tags as that is the old V1 format. Most issues regarding this are due to people not following the INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS. Hopefully, Nexus will address the issue with Vortex using the old standard for this game - manual install does NOT have this issue.
Makes the dew collector twice as fast as the vanilla speed, as I find the vanilla speed on the slow side.
Instead of waiting at least 6 in-game hours, you now wait 3 in-game hours, and at most no longer than 5 in-game hours instead of 10.
These are the values defined as min and max hence it can vary between these for each bottle of water.
More Options - Pick ONE main file
(Added more options as requested - otherwise, my recommendation is to use 2X)
-Added 4X faster than vanilla. Wait times for water are between 90 minutes and 150 minutes in-game time.
-Added 10X faster than vanilla. Wait times for water is between 21 minutes and 60 minutes in-game time (New option)
INSTALL INSTRUCTION
Manually download the mod of your choice. Only pick one from Main Files.
Extract the folder within the zip named, e.g. 'zSMiThaYe-Twice_As_Fast_Dew' to this location: \Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\

Yes, this location is still supported in A21 as well as the user data folder via %AppData% or your custom-defined location.
IMPORTANT
This modlet will only work on newly placed dew collectors. It will be the same if you change and use one of the other variations.
