D1rtyS04p Posted 12 hours ago Report Posted 12 hours ago Newbie here... So, the in-game handbook does not explain how to make powdered charcoal which is needed to make glue, so I thought the only way was to get a lucky drop from a vase or something... days later, I learned about the quern (what the hell is a "quern"?). Ok, fast forward... I made my first quern. Awesome! I made some powdered charcoal... got a pot cooking... making 4 glues... Aaaannddd I can't get it out... no explanation as to why. So I thought. Oh well the pot is unusable because the glue is inside, so i removed the pot thinking the glue was in it. Nope. Gone. This game kind of infuriates me sometimes.

You should be able to apply the glue to broken objects after that. If the glue is solidified the pot can be reheated to make the glue a usable liquid again. 14 minutes ago, D1rtyS04p said: Oh well the pot is unusable because the glue is inside, so i removed the pot thinking the glue was in it. Nope. Gone. Yeah, this part is counterintuitive, but the devs seem to be looking into that behavior so the cookpot can be improved in the future. For now though, trying to pick up cookpots containing uncooked meals/non-meal contents will empty the contents. 2
MKMoose Posted 12 hours ago Report Posted 12 hours ago (edited) It is a known issue of sorts, which has been in the game for a long time, and it's caused by the pot technically not being a container. When picked up it drops the items inside, but since liquids can't just be dropped like regular items, they get spilled. You can take the glue out of the pot using any liquid container, that is a bowl, a jug or a bucket, using RMB. Edited 11 hours ago by MKMoose 2
Shoom Posted 12 hours ago Report Posted 12 hours ago I find that glue is one of those things you make so infrequently you always forget how to properly do it when the time comes around.

I tried a jug that i found, but it didn't work. didn't think a bowl would work to hold enough of what i made, but ok good to remember this. Use a bowl to retrieve glue. Now im out of the resin that took me weeks to find.

If it's singleplayer can always use /gm 2 to switch to creative and replace the lost resources, before using /gm 1 to switch back to survival. I've done that a time or two when the game acts a little goofy. 1

Use a bowl to retrieve glue. You need to take the jug with your cursor and RMB while hovering over the glue in the pot's UI. Also, it can't be modified with shift, I misremembered that.
