Everyone once in a while, I'll be crafting something, like a assembly machine and it just randomly crafts an extra copper wire that is not needed for the recipe. It usually takes an extra copper plate from my inventory, so over time it starts to add up. It usually happens whenever anything requires an electronic circuit. I was using a Windows 10 Steam edition 14.22 of the game, just so you know.

Copper wires are crafted in pairs of 2 and not all recipes take even amounts of wire so it ends up crafting 2, using 1 for a recipe and gives you back the left over one.

I guess I never noticed that... Maybe the recipe for copper wire or some other things should be changed...

You'd have the same thing if you had a recipe that took 3 wires but you only had 2 on you. Or one that took 2 but you only had 1 on you.
