KNOWN ISSUES: Currently bottling water from irradiated water
surfaces will result in pure water. Sinks, pumps ect will
bottle correctly since they are done via different scripts.
This won't be fixed until i can figure out how to determine if
the water has rads or not.
This mod allows you to bottle water from all water sources
without an annoying menu. It also adds a buyable canteen that
will keep you automatically hydrated (see further down for
details). Empty water bottles as well as the canteen can be
bought from Chet in Goodsprings.
When you use a water source while sneaking you automatically
fill all empty water bottles. If you bottle water from a pure
water source all dirty bottles will be rebottled as pure water
alongside refilling empty bottles as well as filling up your
canteen if you have one. Empty water bottles are
automatically attained when drinking irradiated, dirty or
purified water as well as when you refill your canteen.
The water bottled is either dirty or purified. You gain dirty
from any water with rads and purified from any water without
rads. By having only these two types this is completely
compatible with mods that purify dirty water.

Two new recipes have been added to allow you to bottle water
from Prickly Pear Fruit. One recipe requires an empty water
bottle the other requires a dirty water bottle.

manually take a sip by activating the canteen. One sip of water
will restore 25 dehydration. The amount of water left in the
canteen is visible when mousing over it in your inventory.
The canteen is automatically refilled wi

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, use a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM to avoid overwriting files.
- Check if you have any other water-related mods that might conflict—load order matters.
- Look for the canteen at vendors; if it's not showing, make sure the mod is activated.
