I haven't previously used mods but I really like the looks of the SMX stuff. I run a dedicated on Gportal. Are the SMX mods client side or server side. Do I install these on the server, or do players install locally if they want to use the mod? Thanks!

Well its really not the same is it? There isn't gas or oil laying around in pools to fill up a gas can so its really not an apples to apples comparison. Really no purpose for lakes and rivers now. Anyway, I have accepted the current condition but my jury is still out and whether it made the game better. Probably more important to be near a town than a lake or river. Finally I am getting plenty of murky in the nearby town and I guess if you think you are not getting enough water you can mod or set the respawn days down. It's all good.

So what happens after the first day or two that makes not a problem?

I see a lot of folks really trying to be forthcoming here and cave to the devs saying well we will try to keep an open mind and try it. That said, it just doesn't make any sense. Your trying to sell it as a quality of life thing because you don't have to deal with containers?? It just does not make logical sense that you drink something out of a jar and then you cannot fill the jar back up. Part of any survival game is obtaining purified water. But here you cannot collect water and boil it. Hmmmm. Look, there are a plethora of settings people can use if they want to make their game more challenging all ready. Why mess with this realistic approach to hydrating yourself. It's like an anti-quality of life thing. Let me be clear .... I don't like it ...
