Description[edit | edit source]

An Empty Can is used as a source of Scrap Iron. While the Empty Can can be scrapped into Scrap Iron to save inventory space, you may also smelt it directly into Iron (Forge) in the Forge. Smelting Empty Can directly instead of scrapping it will yield more Iron (Forge).

A player can obtain an Empty Can by looting or from eating Canned Food.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Prior to A17, Empty Cans could also be used to create Canned Murky Water. This was done by "right-clicking", with a Empty Can selected, whilst standing in or near a water source. Canned Murky Water would then be boiled in Campfire to create Boiled Water. Boiled Water had a stack limit of one since there is no lid to the container and it is meant for basic survival in the wild with primitive means until a cooking pot can be obtained. They also used to be able to be thrown as a distraction for zombies, but this feature was removed because the throwing animation didn't work properly.
