[Solved] 77.11 Wooden buckets can't place water?

[RinOkami 0]

Hi, I've been playing TFC for awhile, and I'm loving the new update.  But I recently made a wooden bucket with the intentions of making a big farm.  But when I went to place the water I'd gathered into my farm's water spot, nothing happened.  There was no water in my bucket, but there was no water in the hole either.  I tried a few other places too, the water just disappears.  Never did that before.  Did something change with the buckets in 77 or is this a bug?

Yes, placing finite water with a wooden bucket was removed.

Sorry to necro, but how are we supposed to water crops without the ability to place even a 1x1x1 water spot? I need a way to keep my crops watered but my only way to get fresh water is to either walk really far from home or through rainwater, and I'd rather not place my farm too far from home.

Red steel buckets move water source blocks.

It is one more of the aspects of tfc that makes the game believable. Early human settlements always looked to be close to water. The best solution is to make your home close to water where you will have your farms.

One way or another you will need lots of water, to make Limewater, Alcohol, Vinegar, Mortar etc. Not a good idea to be far away.

I actually do not like the red bucket solution, do not think is believable, I would prefer a pump and pipes system as long as it was very hard and time consuming to make it, so people would not overuse.

If you don't want to be tied to natural water during the early game, just settle in a mild climate somewhere around 6-8k latitude.  You'll be outside the tropics, but it'll never get cold enough for your crops to freeze, and they'll never die.  Then it doesn't matter if they're close to water or not, really.  They'll just grow slower.
