If it comes out stiffer than you would like it, next time add more water, if it's too runny, add less. Cooking it a bit longer will also make it a bit stiffer.
It's important to drink the water, the recipe is reasonably high carbohydrates, the body uses the water to store the carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. Turning the water into coffee or tea should be fine.
Currently it's set up as a porridge- if you can find cheap oat flour instead of rolled oats then it may well make a decent traditional soylent drink, but I haven't tested that. OTOH the coarse oats are lower glycemic index, so it may be healthier to get them and make the porridge.
If you want to make changes to the recipe; the manganese and the niacin are the most marginal. Going higher on manganese would probably be risky.
