Don't consume locked items in toolbar

I would like that crafting would not use items I have in an reserved slot in the toolbar.
Same way it works with ammo currently. If I have piercing rounds in the ammo slot, and want to make drones, it crafts new rounds, and does not use the ones in the ammo slot.
It should work the same way with other items in reserved slots. E.g. if I have a stack of pipes in a reserved slot in the toolbar, and make underground pipes, it should only use those in the inventory, and if there are none, craft new ones, but leave the ones in the reserved slot alone, because they are reserved items.
The way it currently works you always have to craft new pipes after crafting underground pipes or other things, and there is no way to reserve them. You either have to make more pipes, stock some in a chest and retrieve them, or make new ones, which usually takes A LOT of unnessecary clicking. Pipes are used in many recipes, and anything that uses them also requires pipe connections, so unless you heavily overstock, you almost always end up having to craft pipes again after making other things with them. One stack is usually enough to connect everything, and just being able to reserve a stack would save you so much annoyance.
