How to make a simple cleaner
The Simple Purifier, like the Empty Cup, is available from the start. All you'll need to make the Simple Purifier is 6x board, 6x palm leaf, and 4x plasticand these materials are they are easily collected by fishing as they sail past your raft.
Simple Purifier uses a the basic distillation process to convert salt water into fresh water, so you will have to fuel it with boardswhich produce the necessary heat by burning. He can handle one cup of salt water suddenly gives you one cup of drinking water in return.
How to make an advanced cleaner
Advanced Purifier is a a serious upgrade over the Simple Purifierit will save you the trouble of constantly burning the boards. It uses direct sunlight to distill waterproduces up to five cups of fresh waterperfect for staying hydrated without all the micromanagement.
Before creating it, you must unlock his recipe at the research table. Send a Board, Jacketand Glass to do so. Collect after unlocking 8x boards, 6x plastic and 4x glass (smelted from sand in a smelter) to build this handy cleaner.

- 1x Circuit board: Made of 5x plastic, 2x copper ingotsand 1x Vine Goo after learning her recipe at the Research Table.
After that you will have to collect these materials to create an electric cleaner:
- 4x titanium ingot
- 1x Circuit board
- 20x plastic
- 5x scrap
Once you've built it, you'll need to place it on your boat so that it's an electric cleaner the hose can point into ocean water, so it can pump salt water. You will then need a battery to power it that you can use 1x copper ingot, 6x plasticand 3x scrap after researching its recipe.
When the cleaner is in operation, it will continuously pump salt water and turn it into fresh waterwhich collects up to 15 cups in a large tank for your convenience.
