 Your food and water indicators are at the top left of the screen, as well as your [[nutrition]] indicator. Running low on water will make your actions take longer and make you regenerate [[stamina]] slower. Food also has a similar effect when it gets low, and if you have any nutrition left, you will fast when your food drops to 8%. [[Fasting]] refills your food indicator, but removes a percentage of your nutrition.
-Starting cities have wells that you may use to obtain water. You may also find fountains and larger bodies of water in your travels, any of which may be used for drinking or filling a [[container]] with water to take with you. Some containers useful for storing water include a [[pottery jar]], a [[waterskin]], and a [[small bucket]]. To fill, '''activate''' the container and then '''right-click''' on the water in a fountain or on a tile that is partially submerged in water and select '''fill'''.
