If an item with spoilable results is spoiled before crafting finishes, its trigger effect won't trigger.

How to reproduce:
1. Add a mod with following code in data.lua: 2. Build a infinity chest test setup with the recipe crafting those two items, and observe:
No biter is spawned from the captive biter spawner recipe, and nothing is outputted.
Jellynut processing outputs spoilage. What should happen:
Biter captive spawner recipe should instantly generate a behemoth biter.
Or alternatively:
Spoil trigger only activates when it appears in the output slot.

test mod: test save:

I know this bug is somewhat obscure but a mod I'm making depends on the instant spoil trigger of an item, hope this can be fixed.

Thanks for the report however I'm going to mark this one as "won't fix". If I do make this function, then it severely complicates crafting machines that run above 1 cycle/tick code wise and gets into performance concerns.
