Compost craft broken

In compost heap players can make improved compost eralier than regular one. In fact no need to craft regualr compost and spend materials to it.

Did that used to function differently? I’ve never tried that particular combination before.

This looks like it might be a bug in the algorithm that the crafting queue uses to infer how to craft a derived recipe by first crafting the prerequisite recipe from its raw materials.

For example, you know how you can craft an armor piece without having to explicitly craft its padding as long as you have all the necessary materials in the crafting station inventory? That logic might have a bug here.

Or, alternately, it might be a simpler thing at work: maybe someone accidentally added a new recipe for potent compost that uses only raw ash and blood, without requiring compost as the third ingredient.

My bet is on the former, though. Crafting from raw materials with intermediate recipes probably uses something along the lines of topological sort of a graph, which can be easy to screw up because the devil’s in the details and the corner cases :smiley:

This is a clean dedicated server without any mods. Local game - same issue

Previously, 2 simple composts were created first. Then 1 enriched was crafted. Then again 2 simple ones. Then enriched again. Now the game just makes sure you have the ingredients for simple compost, but doesn’t see the need to craft it. And in fact. Previously, it was necessary to spend dung+ash+fiber for compost, and then blood and ashes for improvement. Now only blood and ashes are spent.
