This is hard to describe, but I captured a one-minute movie on twitch demonstrating:

Sorry, the screen is kinda clipped. Also, in the video, I click the Pseudoscience station tab, which would make sense and not be a bug. The bug is that this happens when pressing the 'C' key to 'Craft'.
- Play as Walter.
- Get 7 or more thulecite fragments (not sure this is necessary, but seems a good starting point)
- Go to any partial or full pseudoscience station.
- Bring up the crafting menu and craft 1 Walter-specific "cursed round."
- Close crafting menu by pressing the 'C' key
- Open crafting menu by pressing the 'C' key
Expected result:
Crafting menu should show the same Item I last looked at or crafted, the same as it always does. In this case, that would be Cursed Rounds.
Actual result
Crafting menu shows Thulecite - the first item in the Pseudoscience tab.
Potential Solutions
Did you code the Ancient Pseudoscience station to show its menu to help new players find/realize that they even have a new menu? If so, at least have a timeout for this feature. It could switch menus the first time in this game that you use a pseudoscience station. It could switch menus when you haven't opened the Pseudoscience station menu for a minute or 5 minutes or more.
Yesterday, I built 8 or so Thulecite when I thought I was making a boatload of cursed rounds. I thought it was me doing something stupid. Back to the Archive with a hammer for more fragments. Today, my beefalo pushed me just far enough away from the Pseudoscience station while I was making rounds, that the menu closed. I got closer and reopened and clicked 'build' again as I'm in the habit of when this happens in most other circumstances - and proceeded to make another 3 Thulecite before realizing my mistake.
In addition, you might allow hammering Thulecite to yield fragments. Even if it's 3 fragments instead of 6. I haven't tried the deconstruction staff on it yet, but the wiki doesn't say anything about turning Thulecite into fragments.
