Purified Water



 is a vital part of Horizon diet. It's one of few hydration items that does not give you rads. It is also an ingredient of high-quality food, remedies and other useful items.
 * In standard Horizon mode, the purified water production requires: Ceramic, Aluminum, Copper, Clean Bottle
 * In Desolation Mode, the purified water production requires: Ceramic, Cork, Chlorine, Clean Bottle
 * All water bottles are produced through the Production Manager Menu

Requires
NOT ALL below is required! Depending on your Playstyle you will need either one or many more Buildings, Units to craft, build, manage ...
 * Cooking Station (manually)
 * Seawater Extractor and Chemical Factory and/or Chemistry Station (automatically)
 * Purifier Module and Water Purification Unit (automatically)

NOTE! EVERY Production needs a Work Order (See: Production Manager) and is based on REAL TIME (90m).

Obtaining

 * Exploration (f.ex. following the Main Quest)
 * Vendor Stalls (Bar, Food & Drinks)
 * Diamond City
 * Production

"If you want to craft/produce Purified Water via Settlements (Buildings/Factories) is up to you. Basically all you need is Chlorine. Ceramic, Cork (can be a problem later) and Clean Bottles are quite common items. Do it manually, using a Chemistry Station or automatically which needs a Chemical Factory and various Active Work Orders (Production Manager) to be set. If you rush the game spending most of the time in the field without sleeping much you probably won't need much Purified Water and you will find enough in certain locations especially in all main quest locations! Its even worth noting that Sheng Kawolski sell Purified Water Bottles which you can trade against all kind of Food, Chems and whatever items..."

Production
Production of Purified Water bottles requires "Water Purification Units", which are separate from pumps that give water. They are found in workshop menu under Architect > Production > Basic Production. Water production orders can be adjusted under "Active Services" found in the Production Manager.

Water Purification Unit


This workshop device is what now determines whether or not your water production is being purified
 * This object does NOT provide any "Water" rating at all; water rating is the production shown at the top of the screen when in build mode.
 * Each bottle of Purified Water produced requires 10 Water rating and 1 Purification Unit
 * Grants +40 Bonus Happiness to the settlement you place it in (this may no longer be true in v1.8)
 * Purification Units can also improve a settlement's "Wellness" rating (+10%)
 * Purification Units now require it's water rating to be located in the same settlement
 * Crafting a Purification Unit requires 1 "Purifier Module" (see below)
 * In Desolation Mode the crafting requirements are much higher

Water Purification Unit (Compact)
This unit is engineered to be more compact, but requires a higher Workshop Tech Level (4 in default, 6 in Desolation)
 * Requires the same parts that the standard unit requires
 * Gives the same benefits the standard unit does, but with a smaller footprint

Purifier Module



 * This item is used for building Water Purification Units
 * Modules can be crafted in the Tech Lab (under Workshop Utility and Kits) by having Workshop Tech Level 2 (Desolation Mode requires Tech Level 8)
 * Modules can sometimes be found on DC or GN general vendors (not in Desolation Mode)
 * +1 Purifier Module for completing the Graygarden Quest you receive +1 Mail (Mailbox)
 * +1 Purifier Module for earning "Local Leader II" perk you receive +1 Mail (Mailbox)
 * +1 Purifier Module for earning "Settler Skill: Engineering II" you receive +1 Mail (Mailbox)

Producing Water

 * 1) Build a Water Purification Unit (requiring a Purifier Module) and provide the settlement with extra Water (10) rating needed.
 * 2) Ensure the Purification Unit is powered.
 * 3) Purification Units now require it's water rating to be located in the same settlement
 * 4) In standard Horizon mode, the purified water production requires: ceramic, aluminum, copper, clean bottle In Desolation mode, the purified water production requires: ceramic, cork, chlorine, clean bottle
 * 5) All ingredients for services/recipes are now taken directly from your designated workshop containers
 * 6) Chlorine can be either made at Chemistry Station manually or, more efficiently but requiring a certain tech level, at Chemical Factory.
 * 7) Chlorine and Sodium can be extracted from Salt in the Chemistry Station under Ingredients
 * 8) Purified water is produced with Active Services via the Production Console, Add a work order for purified water at Production Manager > Active Services.
 * 9) If there is no Active Services for Purified Water (just an Open) at the end, try going to the Production Console and using Refresh Settlement Information Update. After a few minutes, Purified Water should appear as an option (should be the 1st out of 9).
 * 10) Be mindful of the costs of producing purified water. Create only what you need since the ingredient cost will be deducted per bottle produced. In particular, Copper is rare since the introduction of Basic Circuitry and very useful for settlement expansion.
 * 11) The Production Console will indicate that Purified Water is being produced. This may take a few minutes to update correctly.

Producing Water via Cooking Station
In non-desolation mode purified water (3 bottles) may be produced via the Cooking Station. This requires:
 * Advanced Filter
 * Dirty Water (4)
 * Clean Bottles (3)

Producing purified water in Desolation Mode from scratch
After obtaining the first Water Purification Units, you can start producing Purified Water. Main scarce resource is Chlorine. For Chlorine you need Salt. For Salt you need Seawater. For Seawater you need Liquid Fuel, and you get Liquid Fuel from refining Oil.


 * 1) Scan local resources (Resource Station > Local Mineral Deposit) at settlement and once you find some Oil (preferrably near 1), start placing Oil Wells. 3 per settlement, and eventually you might need ~9.
 * 2) Build a Chemical Plant to refine Crude Oil and set up work orders. This will produce Liquid Fuel. Alternatively buy "Fuel Canister" (Pre-War Money 38 each) using the Market Trading Terminal from Crazy Eddie.
 * 3) Find an oceanside Settlement and build Seawater Extractors.
 * 4) Add work orders for Seawater. 1 Liquid Fuel will power 4 Seawater Extractors.
 * 5) Add work orders for Salt. 1 Seawater Extractor will power 4 Salt producers. Alternatively, loot or buy some salt, shakers are sometimes found in various furniture and at junk vendors.
 * 6) Use Chemistry Station to create Chlorine from Salt. You need 10 Salt for 2 Chlorine.
 * 7) Create a work order for Purified Water. You need 1 Chlorine per bottle.

Purified Water Production Cascade
NOTE! The Table is showing you all connected Production Work Orders for producing Purified Water automatically. Production is based on Components. If you lack the Components on Step 1-3, Step 4 won't start. Even though you have all the Components doesn't mean that your Production will start as long as you don't start all the connected Work Orders manually in "Actice Services" accessed in the Production Manager Menu. If you have all the Components required for Step 4 but lack the Components for Step 1-3 you may craft Purified Water manually instead?!
