If your bug is about not being able to craft, make sure you've actually tried crafting the last time you opened your game, before you upload your log. If there aren't any failed attempts logged, there's nothing for me to go on.
If you do NOT include your log, your report may be closed and ignored. Even if you personally don't see an error message, there can still be useful information!
Did you open the crafting menu via the kitchen, a workbench, or the game menu?
Include any other information about what you were doing that you think might help.
Screenshots of visual problems are appreciated, but not required
Hello, could there be an option for my categories to apply across all of my games? Because whenever I create a new save file or when I join a multiplayer game, it's all gone. It's a bit of too much work.
Hello, I see this function is now present in 2.7.0. However, how do I import the categories that are already present in a save file so that they may apply to the global save files too? I tried messing up with the "categories" text files but I couldn't do it consistently.
I see that while going through the menu to select dynamic rules, we can set it for custom spacecore skills.
however when going to select a tab icon, we can't select the icon from those skills. Would that be a possible change/addition or would that be too hard to do?
I have been using item bags MOD and can read the materials in the iItem bags MOD backpack normally when making items, but after installing Better Crafting MOD, I can no longer read the materials in the Item bags MOD backpack when making items.
As is clearly stated on the description page for Better Crafting, it is not compatible with Item Bags. I might add support myself if the Item Bags developer updates its API with modern 1.6 features, or they could implement support using Better Crafting's API. Either way, it's not compatible as stated and probably won't be for the foreseeable future.
Regardless of the performance of your computer, it seems to disconnect every time you turn on the game and load the recipe for the first time.

Hi! I'd like to know if the current version allows me to use ingredients from the fridge only when I'm cooking. I'm currently using Better Chests as well, and I can craft from anywhere within all the items in chests. I'm just wondering if I can only use the ingredients from the fridge, but not from other chests.
In multiplayer, if a chest is in use by another player, the items inside said chest are not available for crafting. I believe in 1.5 this wasn't the case, you could still use the items in an open chest to craft with; is there a way to make it work in 1.6 and/or are there any plans to try to make it work?
You are mistaken. It is not possible to use items in a chest that is in use by another player and it has not been previously.
This is due to how the game handles locking chest inventories to prevent concurrent modification, which could cause issues like items being duplicated or erased. Better Crafting goes out of its way to lock chests as little as possible, but when you have a chest open directly your game maintains a constant lock on the chest's inventory to prevent anyone else from accessing it.
To do away with this, you'd need to refactor how the chest menu works. It's possible, but not something I've done before or plan on doing now. I want to move on to some other projects for a while.
Huh, guess I must be misremembering. Either way, I appreciate all the work you've put into your mods! Almanac was one of my favorite mods in 1.5 and I'm looking forward to its 1.6 release.
I have all my chests inside a shed but notice I have to enter the shed in order to be able to craft from them. Is this normal or do I need to change some setting to be able to craft from the chests when I'm outside of the shed? (I have got the craft from nearby chests setting turned on to the max amount of tiles)
That is normal. The only way Better Crafting has currently to craft using something in another map is the Magic Workbench add-on, which requires you to place the workbench next to the building (or use connectors to connect it).
If you want to just use chests from anywhere to craft from the menu you'll need something like Better Chests.
Thanks for replying, I do also use Better chests as well so I think I got mixed up with which mod does what in regards to crafting from the chests, but Better Chests also doesn't let me craft from the chests inside my shed unless I actually enter it. Anyway I ended up putting the chest with my crafting materials outside for now and that lets me craft from it again.
Just wanted to say that this is such a well put together mod that cannot be left off the load order. People are always quick to comment with complaints, but not so quick with compliments!!
I use both this mod and Item Bags and am aware of the issue with crafting from bags (both mods are still far too good to be dropped from the load order). Theoretically, is this something that might be fixed by one/both authors in the long term now that 1.6 is here? Or is this just too complicated a problem/too niche to be worth solving?

edit: it's not because of this mod, the only crafting recipe I have is sign for some reason
