Assembly Machine 1 able to assemble Burner Mining Drills.

Its annoying going for Lazy Bastard without being able to create new burner mining drills until Assembler 2, and while Lazy Bastard is supposed to be a challenge and a little annoying, I don't see why it should be so slow to start. Assembler 1s can build Steam Engines and Boilers, I see no good reason why they shouldn't be able to build Burner Mining Drills.

Can't they? Sounds like you mean the ingredient restriction from 0.16.

In 0.17 every assembler can produce every item. Only recipes with fluids need assembler 2+.

@OP : You must be playing with the 0.16 stable version. With 0.17 (currently experimental), you'll be able to craft burner mining drills with assembling machine 1.
