Summary0010855: Soldier sometimes don't carry waterskins.
DescriptionI've been having this issue for as long as I can remember, it's still present in 0.44.12.

In short, soldiers sometimes don't carry a waterskin, despite having one assigned. Looking into it, I've found at least one instance of a soldier without a waterskin being assigned a waterskin that another soldier is already equipped with.

The workaround for this is usually to forbid the carrying of any drinks, atom smash all waterskins, make new ones and set soldiers to carry drinks again and hope for the best.

I'm not sure if there's also a bug with assigning a waterskin that already has liquid in it, someone else might want to look into that.
Steps To ReproduceHappens randomly. Just keep an eye on your military and sooner or later it will happen.
