Bugged wooden bucket
I crafted a wooden bucket and left it on the ground. I rained and filled the bucket so I equip it as secondary (because its heavy) and try to fill an small empty trough (under roof so no rain get get in). After the progress bar finished the bucket dropped on the ground and appeared as empty, but the trough remained empty as well. Right clicking the bucket on the floor gives a context menu for transferring liquids/emptying. Now it is impossible to pick the bucket up from the floor (progress bar finishes but it remains on the ground).

I noticed something else too, I was wearing a western canteen and attempting to pick the bucket up removes the canteen from the equipment slot and it goes into my inventory. The bucket then goes into the equipment slot.

The bucket automatically gets dropped after attempting to walk while wearing it.

In this bugged state the bucket doesn't visually appear on the ground but appears on the list of items on the ground.

I then decided to see what happens if I "drag" the bucket by repeatedly moving and picking the bucket back up from further away. After I cheesed the bucket out from the shelter and back into the rain it suddenly got unbugged and I could pick the bucket up normally.

After dropping the bucket in the rain somewhere it ended up disappearing and reappearing in that bugged state in the original location. I tried dragging it out again, and picked it up, but not it doesn't function like a bucket at all. It doesn't fill with rain while on the ground and you cant fill it with water or transfer liquids.

I'm going to try using it to build a forge (which was the original purpose) and hopefully it doesn't bug out the forge next.

I'm unable to fill a wide variety of containers, metal buckets and watering cans and probably more. Can't fill from water source and can't transfer to them from working containers
