All items with an expensive recipe variant ignore crafting time changes:

example data-updates.lua:
data.raw["recipe"]["fast-transport-belt"].energy_required = 11
data.raw["recipe"]["express-transport-belt"].energy_required = 11

Result in game fast belts take 11 seconds while blue belts remain .5 seconds.
Expected both to be 11 seconds.

Looks like it is only items with expensive variants.

That's because recipes with the "normal" and "expensive" definitions don't use the standard properties but have those in a sub-table:

data.raw["recipe]"["recipe-name"]["normal"].energy_required and ["expensive"]

Just thought of that after i posted, thanks!
