So, after a long time playing, I’ve finally crafted my first Autocrafter! After some deliberation, I decided the first thing I wanted to make in it was a Footlong from Pam’s HarvestCraft.
A Footlong
requires a Cutting Board
or something that can be substituted as one (such as a GT6 Knife
or Pocket Multitool (Knife)
), as well as the following (or anything that can be substituted for them): Bread
, Steak
/ Cooked Chicken
/ Cooked Porkchop
, Lettuce
, Tomato
, and Mayo
.
So, on my first attempt, I gathered the ingredients for the recipe, then made a Blueprint
of it in one of my Advanced Crafting Table
s. I used a Thorium Knife
for the cutting board, and more-or-less standard ingredients for everything else (Bread
, Cooked Porkchop
, Lettuce
, Tomato
, and a jar of Mayo
from GT6). I tested to make sure it worked in the Advanced Crafting Table
first, then after confirming it did, I scanned the Blueprint
to a USB 1.0 Stick
in a Scanner
. After doing so, I placed the USB 1.0 Stick
with the blueprint into the Autocrafter, and it pulled in all the ingredients for the recipe except for the Knife
. When I put the knife in there manually, it still refused to craft it.
After that failed attempt, I more or less worked out that the Autocrafter
won’t craft any recipes involving manual GT6 tools like the Knife
. So I figured, okay, I’ll go make a Robot Arm Blade Tip
. I did that, placed it in the Autocrafter
's input chest, and the Autocrafter
wouldn’t pull it in as input. So, I went back to the Advanced Crafting Table and tried to make a new blueprint, substituting the Robot Arm Blade Tip
for the Knife
, and I found that I wasn’t able to. On closer inspection, it appears that while the Knife
and Pocket Multitool (Knife)
belong to the toolCuttingboard
oredict, the Robot Arm Blade Tip
does not.
Eventually, I just wound up making a normal Pam’s HarvestCraft Cutting Board
, replaced the Knife
with it in the recipe, made a new Blueprint
, scanned it to the USB 1.0 Stick
, and plugged it into the Autocrafter
and that finally worked.
Still, I’m surprised the Robot Arm Blade Tip
isn’t considered a Cutting Board
substitute, since it’s seemingly the robotic equivalent of two other tools that are Cutting Board
substitutes. That being said, would you mind changing things so you can use the Robot Arm Blade Tip
for Footlongs and other similar recipes? That way, if somebody wants to remove the recipe for the Pam’s HarvestCraft Cutting Board
(which has infinite uses) they could without losing the ability to craft recipes involving it in an Autocrafter.
