As in title, assembling machines that have fixed_recipe specified on the prototype show up as able to craft other recipes in factoriopedia, both when viewing the entity and other recipes of the supported crafting category. This is greatly confusing to players when they attempt to use a building that has a fixed recipe to craft something else. The cooling tower in pY is a good example of this, the different recipes output different temperature water but require different tier buildings to work. Pictured below is the mk02 cooling tower factoriopedia entry, fixed recipe and entity in-game. The mk01 recipe and entity are visibly referenced in factoriopedia.
