la bench:
There are 70 grams of substances in in-take flask.
There are 3516 grams of purified substances in cooling bowl.
You extract everything from workbench
You are carrying 15.2 kg of equipment:
<42 purified essence> = ~168 grams
There are no purified substances in cooling bowl.

What in the hell? That's not only a lot of gold invested, but probably 30
hours of distilling. Apparently Cyl just lost ~3600 grams as well. I'm done
with essence unless somebody can give some assistance and fix whatever just
happened.

Ok.. so I just noticed that the purified essence was way more than a single
essence, and there are 42 categories of essence. It looks like something did
change, and that's that the 42 extracted contained all 3500 grams of essence
in the bench.

My apologies for posting the previous before realizing what happened.
