I've changed my mind and think it’s a good idea to build a dew collector

[ElCabong]

This go around I tried not building one just to see how well it went and I was doing okay until I built my workbench and had quite a few items that needed four or five duct tape.

 

I had the bones, but only one stack of drinking water.  Plenty for what I needed to survive, not enough to fabricate much.

The dew collector would be adding to the drinking water numbers day in day out. With buying drink and water from the trader and vending machines, by the time I had my workbench, I would have had more than enough to make what I needed.

This is not that big a deal. I put most of what I wanted on the back burner and built the one thing I wanted the most.  If you like playing close to the edge, then don't make one, you’ll get by.

Don't forget to turn that water into, yucca juice, tea and mineral water.  That really extends your hydration.
