For whatever it's worth, here's what happened. It was working before the server crash whenever that was. I was surprised, no kidding. I strained steel rods when I had barely any supply and just kept making those steel blades anyway...something from nothing kinda deal. I made several items requiring acid, too, and only consumed 1 unit of it in the process. I just tried it again though, and it wasn't quite good anymore. It didn't stop me, but the changes weren't permanent this time when I tried manipulating stuff in my inventory like I did previously. I have a feeling you guys are right though and I'm probably gonna get banned if I keep trying. Goodness knows it's not the first time lol
