The Crafting Course teaches a specific clean-water workflow: make a canteen, collect groundwater, make a campfire and boil the groundwater into Clean water.
Follow the recipe requirements
- Open crafting with C and check the canteen recipe.
- Collect the groundwater in an appropriate container.
- Prepare a campfire and the requirements shown by the current recipe.
- Select the clean-water recipe and inspect its liquid and heat requirements.
- Check the resulting contents before drinking.
The Canteen item description lists a 300 mL capacity. That is a container fact, not a universal recipe batch size.
Heat and flame are distinct requirements
A lit Campfire is a heat source used in food recipes and also warms a nearby character. A Lighter is a flame source useful for lighting campfires and other recipes. Read the quality named in the selected recipe rather than assuming the two items are interchangeable.
What boiling does not establish
The tutorial demonstrates groundwater becoming clean water. It does not document a method for removing every poison or radioactive component from arbitrary mixtures. Do not generalize beyond the selected recipe and actual liquid description.
Continue with food and drink controls or container management to avoid wasting the finished water.
