-What did you do?
Putting the blueprint book in the recycler pair that is directed towards each other (looped recycling).

-What happened?
All blueprints that are in the book fall out of the recycler and are placed on the tile.

-What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I think bps should continue to be destroyed in a cycle.

-Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.

I'm not sure if this is a bug.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. A crafting machine does not have storage for all the individual blueprints in a given book and so when it consumes the book to craft it ejects the blueprints/items in it onto the ground.

If that's not what you want, simply right click on the book and click the delete button.

Sometimes I end up with a large number of bps or books in my inventory, and going through each one to delete them is quite a pain, so I was looking for a more efficient way to do it. In this case, putting all the bps in a chest that recycles them would be much faster, but unfortunately, that doesn't work with books.

Thanks again for your reply.
