Did one of the recent versions (0.17.66 or later) change blue print handling such that books in inventory are only links to the ones in your personal collection?

I love the appearance of the new chemical plant. However, one thing I noticed is if the chemical plant runs out of ingredients, the sloshy water inside stops dead. It looks a little bit abrupt.. water doesn't stop dead like that in reality. Maybe one way to make it look better would be to make the animation slow down, then stop, after 0.5 sec? It could speed up for 0.5 sec when restarting as well.

I notice the same, it's look weird.
Whatever, the new design is awesome!

I almost thought that 0.17.68 was marked as stable, as I refreshed the Releases forum and all posts for 0.17.x (except this one) were unpinned 😱

@mods Given that 0.16.0 is still pinned, shouldn't 0.17.0 be pinned as well? :)
