Drink a crafted potion when a stronger or weaker one is already active

The player drinks a small speed potion while a big one is still running and the big effect disappears, along with the potion that took ten minutes to brew. Or a second sip at full time wastes the bottle. This entry decides when a drink counts and when the bottle stays in the bag.

Why this works

Players treat a bottle as money. The game should never take it without giving something for it, so an unhelpful drink is simply declined and the bottle stays. Comparing strength first lets a better effect win while a worse one never undoes good work.

When not to use it

Do not block weaker drinks when effects are different in kind, such as speed against warmth, since neither is stronger. Let those run side by side, and use this rule only for effects that compete for the same job.
