So I'm getting ready to head underground, I've got all the best equipment I'm going to be able to get (Higher quality bronze) and I can get food by killing things, but what about water? Are waterskins still bugged, and even if they're not, how easy is it to get water down there? Should I bring some with me?

EDIT: On a side note, aside from food, is there anything really useful that you can get from animals? Aside from throwing ammo.

EDIT 2!: I just killed a giant, but he managed to take away my backpack, I had to drop my shield to pick it up, and now the backpack is stuck in my hand, and I can't get it back on my back to pick up my shield again. What do I do? Disregard, figured it out, it's [w]ear

You drink vomit or blood from your horribly mutilated/pulverized foes. I don't know 'bout carryin' though.

I'd recommend finding a giant cave or similar where they've stolen a lot of booze over the years, and fill your waterskins there. But then again, I usually play adventure mode as a dwarf.

The times I've explored underground the biggest problem was getting tired and needing to sleep... you can get pretty unlucky there, even if it seems pretty safe.

I think if you take 3 or 4 full waterskins you should eventually run into flooded areas before you die of dehydration. Well, you're more likely to die of boredom or something vicious first, anyway You can probably fill the waterskins from the pools of blood of your victims too, but I'm not 100% sure if that's drinkable.

you can tan skins from animals, (other things too but it's a bit buggy, you just get 'leather') and use them to sew yourself more waterskins, quivers, and backpacks... but you also need to gather plants to weave the threads to sew them, and also for bowstrings for making bows and crossbows. You can make bone bows, crossbows and bolts/arrows if you want to train the skills up, you'd probably want to grab bronze weapons and ammo to actually kill stuff though.

I'm not sure how well the game treats the properties of the bone/teeth you use to make the arrowheads when calculating penetration/damage, it's possible you could make a really awesome spear or arrow out of dragon teeth if you killed one, but I can't remember if that's been implemented, successfully modded in, or just a wishlist item. I honestly don't use ranged weapons much myself, I like axes.

Oh. Also, I play deon's genesis mod when adventuring. I don't know if you can do all that crafting in vanilla, haven't tried it.

no all you can do with the normal version is slap two rocks together.

If you want a long-term supply of drinks, use a backpack, not a waterskin - while a waterskin only holds 3 units of liquid, a backpack holds 100. Bonus points for filling the backpack with booze (from a cave surrounded by stolen puddles of alcohol).
