|
| The Jerrycan holds multiple rations of unpurified water. To make the water drinkable, the town must have a building which can carry out water filtration. | |

The Full Jerrycan is a metal container of water left by unknown persons. Useful, but unfortunately, the can is not a perfect water container, and some contamination has seeped into the liquid within; you'll need to find a way of purifying this water before it can be used. It could also be used as a weapon, with the right parts...

Uses
- Creates 2-5
Water Rations when combined with 
Water Purifying Tablets. This can only be done in your home. The rations are created in your inventory; if there is not room, excess will be placed in your chest. Items in excess of your chest limit will still be placed there, defying your normal item storage limit. - Adds 5-9 rations to the well's current level, when used through the
Water Purifier building. This is almost always a higher output than using Tablets and is the recommended use of a Jerrycan. - Can be made into a
Jerrycan Gun (ready), though this is not very recommended.
Used In
- Build: Jerrycan Gun (ready). This requires:
- Full Jerrycan
-
Jerrycan Pump (unattached)
