Orca_Amity Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Where the hell am I supposed to find snowballs either in a forest or in a desert? This is like the weather man forecasting sunshine at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konrax Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It would be great if you could make snow blocks again to hide bases on pvp servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeraal Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Why do you need snowballs? If it is for water, you can collect it from lakes, ponds, or breaking open some of the water towers. Snow is not the only way to get water. If you have none of these nearby, you'll have to survive on scavenged or bought water and explore until you find a source or a snow biome.

That is what I wonder. I have some bottles of river water that is dirty and I wonder why I can't just pour it into a pot and boil it to kill the bacteria and when the water is cold, then bottle it. I wonder how does snowballs come into it. It's so stupid. It's like a builder needing flour as well to make cement when he's making cement not baking a cake. - - - Updated - - - It would be great if you could make snow blocks again to hide bases on pvp servers. I prefer to play this on my own or with trusted friends. I can just see it in a public game. Players killing me for no reason, breaking into my buildings and looting my chests and destroying my buildings. I wonder why there's a public session in this. - - - Updated - - - I believe the yucca smoothie uses snowballs as an ingredient. Thanks. I'll try that.

There is a snow biome where you can find snowballs. Finding it depends on whether you're playing a randomly generated map or Navezgane. If Navezgane, just go north. If RWG, if you travel long enough in one direction, you should find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeraal Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Empty jars and snowballs can be made into murky water in the campfire. Murky water(snow or gathered from a source) is turned into drinkable water in the same campfire with a cooking pot(the pot is placed and LEFT in one of the slots in the top right). Put some wood in the fuel slot, and if you have murky water in your backpack the option to make bottled water will become available on the recipe list. Choose how many to make and cook.

Omg if you playing on low loot setting, snowball is good source of water until you find water purify on helmet. Making murdy water into bottled water already need times while in trader.

Jeraal Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 @Orca Just noticed in another thread that you play on PS4. If you haven't already, you may want to go to the console forum. Some of the information you get here won't be applicable on the console version. It is, I think, three versions behind due to the problems with the company that was handling the conversion to consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how and why snowballs comes into it. That's what we're saying, you CAN do that. Step 1: Build a campfire, fill it with something for fuel like wood. Step 2: Place a Cooking Pot in the tools section of the camp fire, in the upper right corner Step 3: Use empty jars on an open water source such as a river or lake to acquire Jars of Murky Water Step 4: Go to the campfire and create Purified Water to drink The snowball option is just an alternate method for those who have access to snow.

Jugginator Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I think he's new to the game and forums. I do remember the recipe for drinking water (on console version) having the one requiring snowballs at the top of the list or something, which may be the cause for brief confusion.

AtomicUs5000 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 You don't even need the cooking pot anymore. A jar of murky water takes 40 seconds in a campfire without a cooking pot. It takes 10 seconds with a cooking pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crater Creator Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Please don't grave dig old threads. This is doubly confusing for readers, between that and the console vs. PC confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
