Water Bidon
Water Bidon (40L)
A heavy-duty industrial container designed for transporting large amounts of fluids in survival scenarios.
This bidon is not meant to replace rain collectors, bottles, or small containers — it fills the gap between portable storage and fixed infrastructure. Ideal for hauling resources from rivers, lakes, fuel pumps, or remote locations back to your base.
Key Features
- Holds up to 40 liters of fluid
- Can be placed on the ground and used without carrying it
- Extremely heavy when full — not practical to carry by hand
- Compatible with vanilla fluid transfer mechanics
- Uses a custom 3D world model with multiple color variants
- Designed for logistics and base supply, not direct consumption
How to Use
- To fill the Water Bidon, you must have a funnel equipped
- To empty or transfer the Water Bidon, you must have a rubber hose equipped
- The bidon must be completely emptied before changing to a different fluid
Intended Use
Place the bidon on the ground and transfer fluids using bottles, cooking pots, or other containers. Its large capacity makes it ideal for:
- Supplying bases without nearby water sources
- Transporting fuel, water, or other liquids safely
- Stockpiling resources before weather events
- Supporting generators and infrastructure systems
Balance & Design
- Heavier and more efficient than jerrycans
- Much smaller than rain collectors or industrial tanks
- Encourages planning, transport, and logistics
- Fully balanced around weight and capacity
- Fluids cannot be mixed — the bidon stores one fluid type at a time
- Not intended for direct drinking or consumption
Notes
- The bidon is designed as a logistical container, not a personal flask.
- Works best when placed on the ground.
- Vehicle inventories do not support fluid transfer (vanilla limitation).
