Water Purifier
A Water Purifier. Place overtop of a campfire. Will provide clean, drinkable water from salty, or stagnant water.
Crafting one takes 1× Empty Propane Tank, 15× Metal Fragments, 10× Cloth, straight from your inventory — no workbench needed. A recycler breaks one down into Metal Fragments, Cloth. 2 skins exist for it, topped by Radioactive Water Purifier.
