Can’t pick up/move the horseradish cos its a liquid, but I spent some more time playing and tried to mop the liquids up again, and for some reason after sleeping:
Seems like a timer situation? I’ll keep trying to mop the liquids as the days (ingame) pass.
I was actually going to suggest using fire. I know water on a tile essentially acts as reverse firewood, gas burns as well, so the brazier option may be your best chance if the mop isn’t working.
