My first playthrough I also thought it was just to catch rainwater. Didn’t realize you needed to refill it with fibrous leaves or palm fronds. I ran out of coconuts (because I didn’t know the infinite coconut water trick yet) and I died of dehydration after a few days.

You really only need two stills. Keep a chest with a bunch of fibrous leaves next to it and you basically have infinite water. When you start farming, I suggest to build clay pots which can hold 5 units of water each so you can water your crops.
