Candle recipe should have the "this ruins your pot" text.

[Michael Gates]

The recipe for making glue warns you that you end up with a residue'd pot. The recipe for candles should have that same warning. Honestly I suspect that candles are going to come up first for almost all players; ruin-bits are kind of a niche cosmetic item, but EVERYBODY needs lanterns.

[Thorfinn]

I guess that's a good point. If you warn about glue, you should warn about candles. Hasn't really bothered me, since I fire way too many things when I don't want to see what goes bump in the night, but still. Consistency and all.

[Michael Gates]

I don't think either of us is the real target for this warning, no it's one of those "think of the CHILDREN" moments.

That would help. But, like, vintage story is based of real life techniques. So what did you think that it would ruin a pot.

But, yeah, that would be handy. (I never had that happen. Totally

I made a pot specifically for glue and another specifically for candle making so that I wouldn't ruin my food pot.

You sound like one of those guys who has outlines drawn on the pegboard so you know where each tool goes.

At Casa de Thorfinn, it's more like, "Where the heck did I put that stupid candle pot! It's gotta be here somewhere!" until I just use another. Then promptly misplace it.

Just put it in the same area/chest you keep your molds. They're all relatively nonflammable containers for inedible molten items, right?

I'm pretty sure I do. It's just that they keep vanishing, probably to wherever the gremlin puts all the socks that I'm absolutely positive were in the dryer.

Or just use the same pot for both. (I may or may not be missing a joke here--wouldn't be the first time!)

Also cooking sturdy leather makes pots dirty, but I don't remember if there was warning, supposing not. However, this is so late game item, that having only one pot in this phase would be sign of being extreme skimp.

Why yes, I do get irrationally grumpy when my favorite Blackguard nuisance misplaces a tool.

[Guimoute]

I have a dedicated laboratory for cooking everything that makes pots dirty. I set it up before 1.20 because I knew it was going to be annoying to make industrial quantities of sulfuric acid in my 1-firepit home. It was a blessing and helped speed up the production of sturdy chromed leather tremendously.

It would be helpful as a warning I think, but would not affect me much. I'm that guy who overproduces storage "Because what if I need it" and then feel compelled to fill it with tools. I have like 6 cooking pots between all my stoves and the dirty ones for potash/glue/candles.  I have more crocks than I could ever reasonably use alone. I am constantly producing bowls to continue turning wolves into lamps.

I prepare for the apocalypse with clay crafts because we've already had at least one!

[Michael Gates]

That reminds me, I need to make about fifty bowls. For reasons. Also, my "protein" health meter is full, but the other ones are all empty. For, perhaps, related reasons.
