| Location | Built |
The Rain Collector Barrel is a wooden barrel that catches rainwater for a base. The in-game tooltip calls it an open container which can collect rain if outdoors.
It sits in the Outdoors part of the Building menu and uses the Carpentry skill. It comes as an open barrel lined with garbage bags and one fitted with a Tarp. Both hold the same amount of water and fill at the same rate. It is the main way to keep water flowing once the taps run dry. Every long-term base should have a few. The Amphora holds less but costs only Clay.
How to Build Rain Collector Barrel
Both looks are known from the start. Each asks for Carpentry level 5 and gives 50 Carpentry XP.
Both take six Plank and five Nails. The open look adds four garbage bags as the lining. The Tarp look adds one Tarp instead. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build.
Pick the look by what is on hand. A Tarp is a single item that covers the same need as the bags.
Carpentry level 5 is the main hurdle. Train the skill on barricades, floors and furniture before building barrels.
Each version of the Rain Collector Barrel has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
It needs Carpentry level 5. Building it gives 50 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Rain Collector Barrel
The barrel holds up to 600 units of fluid. Rain fills it when it stands outdoors.
Place barrels outside under open sky. Rain only reaches a barrel that stands outdoors.
It fills more slowly than an Amphora but holds twice as much. Several barrels side by side gather more water from each storm.
Its large store matters most in dry spells. Fill bottles and pots from it between rains.
Build Tiers
Both looks differ only in the lining material. Both hold the same water and fill at the same speed. Build the garbage bag look when bags are plentiful. Use the Tarp look when a Tarp is easier to find.
Each version of the Rain Collector Barrel is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
