If you mirror a molecule, it doesn't accept it as a valid version of the output. :( IIRC, SpaceChem accepted these types of solutions. Don't know if this a bug, or by design, but it did make me frowny face.

But aren't these two structures the same? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/772858335317141310/DD6CDB855E3B1EAA60053CE1BB24FC8138BFBACA/ Benzene rings have the alternating bonding pattern and theyre both resonance forms. I guess I can understand because it's what the game is exactly expecting from you, but it's functionally the same thing. They sometimes just put circles in the middle instead of any of the double bonds. Also yes I only got into this situation because I didn't notice a benzene...

I can't even beat the first level. They barely give you any instruction at all. I like Zachtronics games, but I'm about ready to return this one. :/

Le Question

I'm on the Nitrous Oxide level. I make the right molecule, and I do the output command... yet, it ignores it, and it continues at the next cycle again, messing it up... Gosh, I can't even explain it, it's confusing. I'm going to try to make this more understandable. I make nitrous oxide. I do the output target command at the end, yet the game continues the next cycle completely ignoring the output target command, and it messes up the molecule and creates a whole different one... I hope someone can unde...
