Pack mule crafter, what am I doing wrong?

So from what I understand, you need to have everything to craft in your inventory BEFOREHAND and then go to the anvil and craft, am I right?

I grabbed a bunch of basic materials, crafted about 9 different items without leaving the anvil and yet I still don't have the task completed, what am I missing here?

EDIT : I tried it again but went straight for the task board before selling stuff and dumping materials back in my inventory, I suppose that's the trick

It could very well be that you need to redeem the task before opening the chest and such.
I noticed that when I did the whole have 8 nodes active at the same time in the lab, that if I stopped having 8 nodes active before redeeming it, it stopped counting.

Hmmm, are we allowed to post links from other websites? Eh, here's a few options:

You CAN use the forge if you're missing a few bars but they MUST be in your inventory already. You CAN move through the task: Craft your 55 (or whatever number you're on) items, turn it into the task guy by clicking on him VERY CAREFULLY, go craft the next part it will count up from 55 (or whichever the ending number was). I'm getting different answers on if we can use the Quick Ref in the Codex so don't count on it working. The Replit and Git hub are almost identical but I understand Git Hub better than Replit so I use Git. I know not really different but my brain likes Git lol
