Challenges interfere with crafting

[systumseng]

Bad bug.
Until you've completed all the basic challenge steps, they repeatedly override the crafting menu while items are crafting. If the item being crafted is quick (arrows, cobble, etc), each time one completes, it bounces the crafting menu back to the next Challenge recipe. If you're crafting something longer (workstation, iron tool, etc) then you can add additional crafting items to your queue, but the moment the current item completes, it again forces you back to challenge item recipe.

This is BAD. How did it sneak through Q-testing?

I have not seen the behaviour that you are referring to. Or perhaps I just don't understand.

I think it is the behaviour for the first challenge row, at least i have not seen it with later challenges like making the dew collector, farm block or workstation, but then some of those challenges are to 'place' the items and not craft them.
My guess is that the author systumseng, wanted to skipp the tutorial challenge, and keeps getting it overwritting what they want to do.

I would suggest to always do the tutorial challenge however as it awards 4 skill points

Maybe this I haven't seen it and still have to make the pipe bombs.

They'll keep showing until they're completed to help new players understand the basics and point them to the first trader. It takes 5 minutes to complete them and get 4 free perks for it. I don't see why it's an issue tbh.

Reading and patience, not strong suits?

It's a total non-issue, but I can see how someone might think it's a bug if they don't realise why it's happening.
