📋 About This Mod
IMMERSIVE WATER PURIFICATION Update: Added new meshes for the radiation removal stations. Crafting of clean water can now be done at the radiation removal stations. Added water buckets to all pumps and purifiers, no more pumping water into the dirt. Water purification stations can now be used to fill empty water bottles with clean water. (and regular pumps fill bottles with dirty water). Cleaned things up a bit. Added Wasteland Workshop dlc water pump.
Special thanks to FLipdeezy for letting me use his meshes and for almost all of the changes that were made in this update. If you like the water cleaning stations but don't want all the other HC stuff, check out Flipdeezy's water purification stations.
Special thanks to mmdestiny for the letting me merge his Waterpump with Buckets mod into this one.
Immersive Water Purification is a complete overhaul of radiated drinking water in Fallout 4. The goal of this mod is to make obtaining clean water more of a challenge, both for you and for your settlements. In the early game, clean water will be more difficult to craft and settlements will struggle to produce clean drinking water for themselves. You can no longer satisfy your settlements’ water need by plopping down a few water pumps. You must now assign settlers to produce clean water themselves, which means less manpower available for other job assignments. You can also help settlements by scavenging for clean water yourself and stocking up the workstations manually. But it won't be easy! Clean water is a precious commodity and crafting it is no longer a simple matter of "boiling away" the radiation at cooking station. The wasteland is indeed a harsh and unforgiving place.
But all hope is not lost! Scattered throughout the wasteland are rare and amazing pieces of pre-war technology. The Water Chip. Rumor has it, they were used by the old vaults. Once you obtain a few of these, you'll be able to craft water purifiers which can provide fresh, clean water for everyone.
What this mod does, specifically:
Water production in settlements is now similar to food production. You must assign settlers to work at a new station called the "radiation removal station”. This change has drastic impacts on what settlements can produce. In the early game, you’d have to assign almost all of your settlers to cleaning water in order to get 100% water need satisfaction. (either that or manually stock the workbench with water.)
There are two tiers of the radiation removal station. The first tier is very inefficient but easy for new players to craft. The advanced tier produces twice as much
Immersive Water Purification overhauls Fallout 4's water purification system for a more immersive experience. With 372 endorsements and over 61,000 downloads, it's a popular mod from 2016 that remains relevant for players seeking deeper survival mechanics.
