Tried it again post fix, still not sure if it's working right. Couldn't get any recipes to craft but the slime lube. Tried a ton of combinations, nothing else seemed to work. The descriptions imply something like Slime + Eye would make the plug for one of the quests, since the eyes are supposed to solidify stuff? Tried a bunch of slime and eye combos but none made anything. I really don't know how the recipes work,
I also eventually ran into the issue of too many jars after buying stuff, there wasn't anywhere left to set them down.
