Problem with assembler menu - missing inserter

Post by Hogweed »

Hi,

I am building the Sci Pack 2, and have all 3 ingredients queued at the assembler, but the yellow inserter is not in the list of the assembler, the green and black steam ones appear there, but not the yellows!! I have played this game for a week and made these many times already, and never had this problem before. appreciate any help! :cry: :cry: :!:

You need assembling machine 2 for this recipe because it has 3 ingredients. Assembler type 1 can only handle two ingredients

Glad to help. Maybe the game should show the recipe anyway but with red background and explanation, just like in the normal crafting menu for eg steel

I think that would be a good solution as I had the same problem when 0.9 came out :)

Spent 20 minutes researching stuff just to remember I needed the second one... Adding that to the menu "grayed out" would be great :P
