Read the liquid contents, not only the container’s name. A bottle can hold a mixture, and a familiar label does not make every dose or drinking action equivalent.
Capacity and contents
A Canteen holds 300 mL according to the release item text. Check current volume and the selected recipe’s liquid requirement before crafting or drinking. A named container is not proof it contains a full, uncontaminated supply.
Mindwipe’s item description, for example, says the bottle contains an equal morphine mix to ease the process. That matters when comparing an item name with its actual effects; it should not be treated as plain water or a single-effect potion.
Temporary bottles
The Temporary bottle cannot be refilled and soon disappears. Transfer useful contents to another suitable container before losing them. The description does not give a precise lifetime here, so do not rely on an invented countdown.
Inspect suspicious water
The release strings distinguish ordinary Clean water from a similarly labeled radioactive variant on closer inspection. They also distinguish groundwater and dirty water. Boiling guidance documents a particular groundwater recipe, not universal purification of every mixture.
Continue with boiling water for that workflow and food and drink for the inventory action.
