Mediborg beaker becomes unusable - Tiggersaurus - 12-07-2019

Twice in one round the 3rd beaker became greyed out and inaccessible. The display appeared to indicate that the beaker was in my "hand" but wasn't.

I had all my limbs both times, tried using restore on it and only a hard module reset fixed it each time (which meant I lost the chems I'd made). I don't know for sure what caused it or how to replicate but I know it was after refilling hypospray and hitting restore on both, later noticing the bug when I went to refill again.

I'll see if I can replicate it when I next play borgo.

Just played mediborg again and I think I've narrowed down the bug. The bug only started when I started using the "normal" chem UI rather than the UI that borg get for chems.

I placed my beaker in and started to make Pentetic Acid, I hit eject beaker and a second beaker appears on the chem dispenser with the same solution as my internal beaker. If I hit store, both beakers vanish, likewise if I splash the beaker on myself, the solution in both vanishes. I can only assume that last time I didn't hit eject beaker, as I don't need to with the borg UI and that caused the internal beaker to somehow get locked into the chem dispenser so that when I hit store, I no longer had access to the internal one.

TLDR: Using the easier to use chem UI rather than the borg UI seems to sometimes cause issues if you forget to eject beaker.

Yeah this has been a longstanding bug and every time I seriously beaker borg I can't seem to avoid the dang thing no matter how hard I try. Unfortunately from what I've heard borg code is hell.
