[investigating] Incorrectly reporting compounds haven't yet been discovered

Yesterday, I got the quest to make Fertilidust Lite, and when I tried I was told I hadn't yet 'discovered' Humbabol and Potoxin (it was true, I hadn't). So, I put my beaker away and dusted off the old test tube, did some 'experimenting' and made some of each. I'm afraid I can't remember if I got the 'Discovered new thing' popup at this point.

Anyway, I then went back to the beaker and tried for the Fertilidust again. It still said that I hadn't discovered Humbabol and Potoxin, although it did correctly identify that I now had enough of each now to make my Fertilidust:

I made my Fertilidust, completed the quest and continued on my merry way.

Checking in again this morning, I see that now, if I go to make Fertilidust, the game is happy that I have indeed dicovered the necessary compounds. I didn't do anything else with my test tube to make it notice this, other than wait a bit.

  • I've had this problem too. In addition, sometimes it switches from saying it has been discovered back to saying it hasn't.

  • Yup! Got this too! Annoying since I love the flow of the UI (being able to make ingredients within the same screen when cooking). I reported this as a bug report in-game too.

  • I've had this happen, and also had it switch from saying I had discovered it, to saying I hadn't.

    I was able to get it cleared up by refreshing the game. :)

  • Best answer I've found for this (and any of the crafting interfaces that stop working as intended) is a reload of your browser.

  • Reported a bug for this and now see it in the forum - I have also had this problem
    You can work around it in the game but it works in all the other tools so eventually it should work here too ( :

    I will say this is a much "better" bug than when the test tube wasn't working at all...so I'll take what I can get!
