[2.1.8]Recipe signal causes recipe flickering

Post by CrazyEditor »

A chemical plant is connected to the circuit network with an external Explosives recipe signal.

The chemical plant is configured with:

Set recipe enabled
Read ingredients enabled
Both using the same red wire network

After this setup, the recipe does not stay on Explosives. Instead, it rapidly switches between several recipes, such as Sulfur, Explosives, and Coal synthesis.

Expected behavior:
The chemical plant should stay on the externally provided Explosives recipe signal.

Actual behavior:
The recipe keeps flickering between multiple recipes, making the machine unusable.

This seems to be caused by the machine outputting ingredient signals back into the same circuit network used for recipe selection.
