Thanks for the feedback!
I'll add those bugs and ideas to my backlog. A lot of inspiration behind random ingredient mixing comes from early newgrounds flash games and potion mixing games in general, this project started out as such as well, however as it evolved the potion system stayed behind. I guess the only new spin is the modifiers panel.
After hearing out the community suggestions, I see the need for something fresh, but I also need the system to be as easy as just mixing 2 ingredients which could prove challenging and require testing but that's what early access is for :3
