Hello!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but:

When trying to make wooden boards with your hands, it's possible to use regular wooden planks, however the same is not true with circuit boards. At least not after researching the synthetic board tech.

Here's a screencap of my problem:

*I'll leave the raw links here because the images are rather large, and I can't get the spoiler tags to work properly

I can of course craft the wooden board with regular wood and go from there, but it's slightly inconvenient. Are there any work arounds?

Thanks

There's no picture, use

Known bug. I can't fix it. It has been reported to the devs numerous times.

The "work around", if you can call it one, is to build the wooden boards by hand first.

I'm aware of how to make images, however as stated above, I did not put them in and rather left the raw links because images are large. A typical spoiler would hide the images, but this one merely makes them grayed out.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to post the bugs.
Yep I've been doing that so far. Not the worst thing in the world

i still think that it is not necessary to have special syntetic wood.
yes it is syntetic, but cant it be just wood?

this new item causes problems, you can just bypass them with a small change.

Yeah, on this forum, if you do

if the synthetic wood is causing issues you cant fix, why not set it to turn into regular wood or directly to vanilla planks? This, I know, is a cheep and quick fix until it can be figured out, but it's a big headache to find you have to craft boards by hand before you can craft anything else. Especially since your mods rely heavily on wood as a prerequisite for circuitry.
