[0.16.51] Wire surplus not considered for handcrafting possibility check

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[0.16.51] Wire surplus not considered for handcrafting possibility check

Post by Squish8294 »

Essentially with 2 copper plates in inventory you can't make a circuit wire, but you can make a green circuit, then make the circuit wire.
Here's a link to the video that describes it better than I can put into words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk50JcdJFfo

I assume it checks for what is needed to perform both component recipes independently, which would require 3 copper.

Thanks for the report however I don't consider this worth changing at the moment.

The crafting-queue logic takes some shortcuts in how it works in order to keep the logic somewhat sane and possible for us to work with. This is unfortunately one of the side effects.
