How do autofill slots work?

When i click the slot there is no option to add anything.

It's broken. It is supposed to select input from your "food" category, but apparently doesn't recognise any of the objects in there as elgible. My guess: Another unintended consequence of the introduction of crafting quality. Now all food you make has some quality modifier attached to it, which technically makes it a different item from the staple food items, so the filter for this autofill slot doesn't include it.

The "quality" aspect is feature-creep at its worst. No need for it. Right now, there are way too many food recipes. Cut down the recipes to about 25% of current. We dont need all these types of fish, or this many vegetables. No need for absolute realism.

Autofill works with experimental food.

While calling out "feature creep at its worst" is a rather dramatic take, I agree that too many silly food ingredient combinations make functional 'recipes'. Many combinations I've tried just for a should result in "inedible slop".
