Can't dig soup pot with water in #162

Multiplayer server.

Unable to dig prepared soup pot (had a water pot emptied into it). After adding ingredients, making soup and removing the soup, I was then able to dig the pot and relocate it.

Is it intended that a prepared soup pot (with empty inventory) can't be moved?

I had players complain that they had accidentally dug their newly prepped soup pot, destroying the water inside, so I disabled that. For early players, having enough water can be difficult, and spilling it (more like vaporizing it, I guess) is a bit cruel.
It's intended to big a big, heavy pot that's best moved while empty.
I could make it so you can remove the water by clicking on it with an empty water pot/bottle, so then you can move it without losing the water.
OTOH, if I go with DanS' suggestion that the soup be made non-transportable (so players must gather around the giant soup pot to add ingredients, and then share the result) it would be weird if you could move the water to a pot and stow it in your inventory, but not the soup. It would kind of call attention to the limitation.
So I'm unsure whether to do that or not.

The cooking pot is undestroyable this way. I tried right clicking it with an empty clay water pot to drain the freshwater and turn it into a normal cooking pot, but this would not work.

If you have no idea what you are doing, like me, and place it somewhere inconvenient (so you can't place a fire underneath) and just experiment, you may lose an entire soup pot since it can not be moved anymore.

I'm playing Exile and have stumbled on this problem where I'm unable to pick up an unprepared cooking pot. I can't break it the regular way, with a tool, holding Shift or using an empty clay water pot. I had a second cooking pot located in my furnace where I added all of my food. It didn't cook. I was starving and couldn't take the food back, empty the cooking pot or at least take out the cooking pot from the furnace. Because my furnace was occupied I didn't cook food in time and died of starvation.

It would be nice if player could (re)move a cooking pot with uncooked food and freshwater inside. Or maybe I just don't know how this works, ha-ha.

There was previously a bug where if you fired a cooking pot and then attempted to use it without moving it from the kiln first, it wouldn't work, because the timer (started in on_construct) never got started.
That's been fixed, so it shouldn't happen again, (削除) but fixing a busted pot means editing the metadata (with a mod like alternode) so that "type" is an empty string. Then you can dig it. (削除ここまで)
Edit: Actually you can restart the timer by right-clicking the pot, and then cook in it as per usual.

It's possible to cook on a pot with a large fire next to it, if you bury it. Two large fires will definitely do it, it only needs to get over 100c, which isn't very hot, and you can't burn soup. (not yet, anyway)

Edit: A fix allowing you to spill the water and dig the pot is incoming.

With commit f829fbc262 in place, pots can now be dumped out, losing all contents.
