Description
Water Goes Bad
This mod makes the water still stored in sinks, baths, etc after the water shutoff become unsafe to drink after a customisable amount of time. Off-grid water containers, such as water dispensers, stored water containers, and player plumbed sinks are not affected.
This aims to make keeping track of water more engaging, where in Vanilla stored-up water leaves a near infinite supply of easy safe water even after the water shutoff, making keeping up with thirst is little more than a nuisance.
The amount of sickness gained from drinking tainted water is also increased. You will still never die just from drinking tainted water once, but you will get sicker and repeated drinking can kill you.
Water Drain
This mod also features water draining from the taps over time to add further urgency to securing a water source.
Filters
This also introduces the need to filter plumbed taps. You'll need to additionally craft and install a filter after plumbing a tap, unless the source has safe water (not rain).
Customisability
Sandbox variables allow you to customise how many days after the water shutoff the water becomes tainted (including instantly). The filters and water drain features can be turned off entirely, and the rate of drain can be changed.

Build 42 note
Build 42 doesn't have plumbing working yet, so there are no tap filters in the B42 version of the mod.

If you enjoy my mods, I'd appreciate it a lot if you considered leaving me a tip ^u^

@Paddy i've noticed a bug that causes water to take an extra day to become tainted, if you're playing with instant tainted water that might be why it doesn't look like it's working
