Water Purifier

The water purifier is a useful tool as an early game solution for obtaining clean drinking water. You can only place the water purifier on top of a campfire, while the campfire is active, the salt water is filtered out of the propane tank and flows into the bucket, for easy consumption or storage.

Rust has two recycler types. Monument recyclers are faster and yield 60%, but you can be attacked. Safe-zone recyclers in Outpost and Bandit yield 40% and take longer, but turrets protect you.
