The Water Dish is a small metal pet bowl of the kind left out for a dog. It is mostly a junk item found by doghouses. It can still hold a little liquid, and it gives some metal when scrapped.
Each dish comes in a random colour. It starts out holding Tainted Water, which makes a character sick if drunk as it is. Doghouses are the only place it turns up. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The dish holds liquids, but only a small amount. A Water Bottle holds about three times as much. That makes the dish a poor choice for carrying water on the road.
Its better use is at a base. Placed outside, the dish gathers rainwater. A few of them set out around a camp catch a little extra water in a storm. Rainwater collected this way is tainted and needs boiling before it is safe.
The game treats the dish as metal. Putting it in a microwave starts a fire. Water in the dish has to be boiled some other way.
Locations
Doghouses are the only place to find a Water Dish. A doghouse in any yard gives about a one in three chance of holding one. A yard with a doghouse is worth a quick check.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |

| Any building | Doghouse | 33.3% |
Notes
- Never put the dish in a microwave, since the metal starts a fire.
- The water inside at the start is tainted and must be boiled before drinking.
- The metal in the dish gives a small amount of scrap.
- A dish set outside slowly fills with rainwater.
