Use Droop gel at your small campfire to make water. Open the campfire, place the ingredient in its crafting slot and check the result before confirming. Keeping the gel in your bag without adding it to the station can leave the craft unfinished.
Make water at the campfire
- Keep the gel or jelly collected from Droop enemies instead of selling it with unwanted loot.
- Return to your small campfire in the Sanctum and open its crafting interface.
- Place the gel in an ingredient slot. If Water is already in your recipe list, use that recipe to check what the station requires.
- Read the displayed amount and output, then confirm the craft.
- Check your inventory for the water before setting off again.
Where do the ingredients come from?
Keep the jelly-like material from Droop enemies as you explore. It is useful for water and the early health-potion combination, so save some for both tasks. Use the item description to distinguish the gel from other drops.
No small campfire yet?
Continue Faustas’s camp objective in the Sanctum. You need to clear the ruined structures and build a tent and small campfire. Recovering materials from the old camp can save you a separate gathering trip.
Why does the recipe do nothing?
Check the ingredient slots first. If they are empty, having gel in your inventory is not enough. Then check the station and required amount. Move ingredients out of storage into your bag if the station cannot see them.
Make supplies part of your return trip
Prepare water alongside your food before leaving camp. Avoid selling all your Droop materials after one successful craft: keeping a reserve lets you restock without another hunt. Keep the reserve with other consumable ingredients in your base storage.
