[investigating] Wrong compound displayed after experimenting w/test tube

I went to "Try to make something new..." on the Test Tube menu and used the formula for Abbasidose. When I finished, it told me I'd made Diabolic Acid and showed the same picture shown in the encyclopedia.

I went back to where all of my known compounds are listed. Diabolic Acid wasn't there, but Abbasidose was. Abbasidose was also in my bag.

  • This would explain why I have a bunch of compounds I don't remember making.

  • Hi kevbob! This just happened to me awhile ago. 

    Except, I noticed that after you tried to experiment and make Abbasidose, you get two messages right? 

    One says "Nice you discovered Abbasidose!" <--- which didn't happen because it showed "Nice you discovered Diabolic Acid!"

    The other one says "You discovered a useful new item! 30xp Abbasidose" <--- This one was correct.

    Now, I haven't discovered Diabolic Acid yet. So, I experiment again, and I get the correct first message which is "Nice you discovered Diabolic Acid!" but I never get my xp for the Diabolic Acid. The second message box, that's supposed to appear, did not appear.

    Oh, and I got both Diabolic Acid AND Abbasidose. (Because when I checked my bags, I had two Diabolic and 1 Abbasidose)
