How do I empty a bucket in Vintage Story?
Posted On: August 10, 2023

I filled a bucket with water, but can only seem to empty it in a barrel. I just want to pour the water - I don't need it anymore. How do I do that?


Question from user Konerak at stackexchange.


Answer:

Ctrl + right-click will empty the bucket.


This needs to be done against a normal block in the world (not a barrel, and not empty air).


If the bucket contains something other than water (e.g. tannin), the contents will be destroyed and you'll have an empty bucket.


If the bucket contains less than 10 litres of water, the water will be destroyed and you'll have an empty bucket.


If the bucket contains 10 litres of water, a water source block will be created in the world and you'll have an empty bucket. Make sure you do this in a place where the resulting flood won't cause problems.


I haven't found a simple way to empty a full water bucket without creating a water source block, but here are a few ways you can deal with it:.


Place another block (e.g. soil) in the water source block to destroy it.


Empty the bucket into an existing water source block. This won't create a new source block.


Partially empty the bucket into an empty barrel (Ctrl + right-click over the barrel to empty 1 litre at a time). Then empty the rest of the bucket into the ground, fill from the barrel, and empty into the ground.
