suggestion Harvest water from fishing hole

[duozerk]

It would be a good idea to add the possibility for the player to harvest impure water from the fishing holes once they've been broken.

This water would then need to be boiled/purified but at least the melting snow step would not be required if a fishing hole has been cleared already; and it would make fishing a bit more rewarding IMHO - right now if you need to heat up a stove while fishing it's a pretty expensive source of calories due to the wood required; this way if you decide to fish you know it'll also make for an easier source of water at the same time.

Liked the idea.

Also filling the bottle from a fishing hole could possibly wear and tear mitts/freeze hands?

I like this idea, i hardly ever fish, and this might convince me to do it more.

A good idea. It was suggested a few months back so it's nice to see it making a resurgence

Only from freshwater lake fishig holes ofc., not from fishing holes in the Coastal Highway area. And the water should be unsafe to drink unless you boil it first.

It would work well once they add frostbite (that's coming up in roadmap) because you could get frostbite on your hands for doing it.  I really like this idea and hope hinderland adds it.

Good idea - tieing some rope to a bucket could alleviate this though. Still, gotta find some rope and a bucket.

Frostbite in real life would depend on the weather and how long you immerse your hands for. On a warm day sticking your hands down the ice fishing hole isn't too bad. It's a good way to clean off fish slime actually and then you dry off in the snow and put your mitts back on. Cold, windy day... yeah, you're going to have a bad time
