Bottle Printer
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
The Bottle Printer uses power to make water bottles, and UPDATE 049 adds electronic-part upgrades for normal and large bottles. It solves a container shortage, not the separate problem of finding or purifying water.
Check size before investing
The official patch names normal-bottle and large-bottle upgrades. Common Electronics are the upgrade material identified by the machine reference. Inspect the owned printer and the upgrade prompt to distinguish its current output from the size you intend to unlock.
| Upgrade input | Electronic parts |
|---|---|
| Unlocks named in UPDATE 049 | Normal bottles and large bottles |
Connect printing to water sales
Jackson can stock the printer. Keep containers, liquid supply and treatment capacity as separate costs: an empty bottle is a household good, while a liquid-filled water container is treated as a water good in UPDATE 049. Calculate margin using the complete filled product and the live customer offer.
