Drinking water while underwater puts a "water" item in inventory.

I can confirm, this has been happening for a while, and at one point was a good way to avoid poisoning, since it seemed like you were at least less often poisoned by that water than river or swamp water from source. The water is drinkable from inventory with no vessel. On the subject of water, does anyone think we could bring back random pools like there used to be? It's incredibly difficult to survive in the wilderness with no water access, and even half the frequency of crash sites would be reasonable.

You can create your own water sources out in the wilderness now. Search the construction menu for Build Water Well.

early-game, I meant, though yeah that's true.

Should be fixed and closed as #8074 was merged.
