Probably Stolen food and water

Probably Stolen food and water items and where they come from

The Probably Stolen food and water list has three parts: water sources and containers, testing and purification gear, and the food and drink entries. This first table covers the water sources. Base values and buy locations come from the AllThings.How item list, which lists every item with its category. Effects are only given where a guide describes them, and a dash marks a cell that no guide fills.

Water arrives in a few ways. A Sealed Water Ration (Standard) poured into a liquid container gives 750 ml of Basewater, according to the Probably Stolen Guides fan site. The Probably Stolen Game Wiki fan site says a Moisture Farm fills an attached container with Pure Water overnight when it has energy. NPC Tips adds bottled water, the store's Water Faucet and customers who sell water, so the Probably Stolen food and water routes are a mix of buying, collecting and producing.

How to test, filter, and purify water

Testing and filtering matter before any Probably Stolen food and water supply is resold. The Steam store page says water must be tested and filtered before resale, and the Water Merchant starting specialisation also requires testing and filtering water before it is sold, according to the Probably Stolen Game Wiki fan site. GameWikiStation recommends testing water before buying it, then filtering a small batch and checking its grade and contaminants; that gives you a contained way to inspect a supply before processing more.

Different tools cover different treatment jobs. The Water Pitcher and Water Filter remove impurities, microplastics, and organic waste, but do not treat every contaminant, according to the NicoKobo fan guide. Water Purification Tablets treat many microbial contaminants and some chemical contaminants, while a UV Lamp treats microorganisms. NPC Tips also lists tablets, a filter in a pitcher, and the HydraTech Micro Water Purifier as purification options.

The HydraTech Micro Water Purifier has a specific result and a resource cost. The Probably Stolen Guides fan site says it raises water in a container to Basewater purity and uses durability as it processes water. Water Purification Tablets remove many microbial contaminants and partially reduce chemical contaminants, according to that same fan site. These descriptions help distinguish container purification from the broader but limited treatment described for pitcher filters and tablets.

Rustwater and Gutterflow call for care before filtering. GameWikiStation says both should be purified before filtering because processing dirty water can wear out the filter while leaving contaminants behind. The NicoKobo fan guide also describes Gutterflow and Rustwater as on-tap sources available through Wild's industry network, so the source and treatment steps belong together when planning a water supply.

• Test the water before buying it, as recommended by GameWikiStation.
• Filter a small batch first, then check its grade and contaminants.
• Purify Rustwater or Gutterflow before filtering to reduce filter wear and avoid leaving contaminants behind.

Testing and purification items at a glance

The table below lists the Probably Stolen food and water testing, filtering and purification gear from the same item list, with base values and buy locations. The Probably Stolen Guides fan site gives 225 cr for the HydraTech Micro Water Purifier and 250 cr for the Advanced Water Filter, where the AllThings.How list gives 325 and 350. Treat these as list figures rather than confirmed buy prices.

A UV Lamp's game text only says it can be used on a water container. Players report that it kills microbes, so the table gives that as a report rather than a confirmed effect. The Water Testing Strip shows purity, and the AquaScan also lists the contaminants it finds.

Water production and trading setup

Water production centers on the Moisture Farm and the container it supplies, the main production route in the Probably Stolen food and water guides. The Probably Stolen Game Wiki fan site says the farm produces Pure Water overnight into an attached container when connected to energy. GameWikiStation describes a battery and empty bottle in the setup, with Quality affecting the resulting grade, while the NicoKobo fan guide says a Moisture Farm produces water overnight. These details make energy, a receiving container, and grade the useful points to check when comparing the Probably Stolen water items.

A Water Purifier is another overnight production station, but it processes existing water instead of making a fresh supply. The NicoKobo fan guide says it removes contaminants overnight when supplied with energy and a water container. The distinction is practical: the Moisture Farm produces water, while the Water Purifier cleans water already held in a container.

Water trading has an unlock route as well as a preparation step. GameWikiStation says the Water Trading service unlocks through Wild's Network for 300 favor and provides a handheld water purifier starter kit. The Steam store page lists starting as a water merchant or hydroponic farmer, and the Probably Stolen Game Wiki fan site names Water Merchant as a starting specialisation. Together, those details show two ways the guides frame the activity: choose a related starting role or unlock a trading service with its stated cost and kit.

A Water Neon Sign can support the trading setup by attracting customers willing to sell Water, according to the Probably Stolen Guides fan site. The sign's described purpose is customer attraction, while the testing, filtering, and purification tools handle water quality. Keep those roles separate when reading the item details: a sign is for bringing sellers in, not treating the water.

Probably Stolen food list and drink entries

The food side of the Probably Stolen food and water list is longer than the water guides suggest, but the guides say little about each entry. The AllThings.How item list files about forty items under Food and Drink, plus a few hydroponic and container items such as Nutrifruit, and gives each a base value and where to get it. Raw Meat (Small) and Raw Meat (Standard) are sold by the Thief as stolen goods, and the commissary sells Galaxy Blend, Peat, Pilk, Puice and Nutrifruit for tokens.

Several entries, such as Liquid Luck and Hot Sauce, have no buy location in the list, and no guide describes what most food entries do or how they are made. Dumping Grounds odds are given as a chance per pull. The Probably Stolen food and water food table keeps only the Food and Drink category and the food-related hydroponic items, so chemistry supplies sit in their own table after it.

Chemistry supplies the source files under Food and Drink

AllThings.How also files ten chemistry supplies under Food and Drink: graduated cylinders, droppers and small solution bottles. They are not food or water in the usual sense, so they sit in their own table outside the Probably Stolen food and water food list. The lists give a base value and buy location for them, but no guide describes their use.

Our take on Probably Stolen food and water

The clearest practical route to Probably Stolen food and water is to treat water as a chain of sourcing, testing, and treatment. The guides name buying from traders, collecting from a connected faucet, using a sealed ration, and producing water with a Moisture Farm. They also say to test and filter water before resale, with specific cautions for Rustwater and Gutterflow. That makes quality checks part of the documented trading process, rather than an optional detail.

The Probably Stolen food and water picture is uneven in a useful way: the water entries include concrete quantities, station conditions, treatment tools, and an unlock cost, while most food entries give only a base value and a buy location. The 750 ml ration amount and the 300 favor Water Trading unlock are explicit numbers, and the farm, purifier, and treatment descriptions provide actionable distinctions.

For a player planning a water business, the descriptions point toward checking supply quality in small batches, protecting filters from dirty water, and matching each tool to its stated treatment role. The Water Pitcher and Water Filter address listed impurities and waste, tablets target many microbial contaminants and some chemical contaminants, and UV treatment targets microorganisms. The HydraTech purifier has a stated Basewater result and durability use, while the Water Purifier station is described as working overnight with energy and a water container.

For food, the table works as a buy-location reference. Raw Meat comes from the Thief as stolen goods, the commissary sells several items for tokens, and the rest are scavenged, bought from a Retired Chemist, or have no listed source. Keep direct item listings separate from production systems and quality advice, so each food entry is tied to what its listing actually says, and the Probably Stolen food and water food list stays honest about its gaps.
