B42 Experimental: Crafting not working/fully explained

[Ratman]

TL;DR: Crafting of some recipes is not working e.g. nothing happens when pressing on the crafting button, even though having all prerequisites (see screenshot)

So at this point i don't even know if it's a bug or if I am doing something wrong... found nothing anywhere else about this and even asked on the official discord, but with no success.

I tried out the new crafting UI, which you can access on the left or via the hotkey "B" and tried to use some of the new crafting recipes. Some of them work, some don't. For example the "dismantle Medium Implement" or "Make Crude Whetstone" recipes doesn't work for some reason and i couldn't find out why. To be clear with "doesn't work" i mean i click on the button "craft" and nothing happens. Now the first thing that comes to mind is, that i don't have the required prerequisites (surface, learned recipe, light), but as far as i can see, i have.

Screenshot of my crafting window. In the Background you can see the table i am standing in front of. I have the hatchet i am trying to dismantle, in my inventory, and all required tools. https://imgur.com/a/7JBQUeZ

tried selecting and switching the required items for the recipe, but that also did not work. now you could say the table is somehow bugged... but the thing is the recipe "Dismantle Bladed Item" which has the same prerequisites than "Dismantle Medium Implement" works perfectly fine...

So has anyone else experienced similar issues or am I missing something?

Most likely a bug then. Ill have to test later.
Could be item flags not properly set for recipe.
You running any mods?

[Ratman]

no mods running, just checked it now bc i wasn't sure

so for anyone who is wondering, i found it out: you have to use the right tool. Although this seems to be a bug. Tried it with a claw hammer before and it didn't worked, although the claw hammer is shown as one of the possible tools, it's not. Worked when i used the stone hammer, but probably works with a mallet too

That was absolutely the reason i couldn't craft hide clothing, the multi-tool did not function as a knife

I cant craft sawblade woodenbat, rake-head-spiked weapon and etc, i have everything that is needed, but some recipes do not work at all, i'll try using stone chisel instead of carpentry chisel to see if it works.

Yeah. good idea to test different tools as i remember at least one recipe needed wooden mallet instead of any hammer type.
