Despite the documentation (and indeed the name of the field), result_is_always_fresh=true recipes do not produce perfectly fresh items but instead items aged by how long the recipe took to craft.

This is hard to notice if the spoil timers are long but is obvious with e.g. a 10s spoil timer and a craft that takes 5s to complete.

Can you please post an example mod showing it not working? Because Space Age uses that value and it works perfectly there.

Sure, attached is a simple save showing the effect with mod The-Foundry-Playtests v0.3.5.

The effect is observed with an assembler.

Thanks. This is now fixed for the next release. It turns out, space-age is also using the "preserve results in output slot" setting which makes this issue not show.
