Okay, I made this big ME system connecting everywhere in my base. But I've noticed lately, when I tell it to craft things (which always worked before) it will just not craft them. The icon of what I am trying to make will appear in the crafting monitor, but none of the items it must craft to make that. There's no icons except what I am trying to make, and I just have to keep canceling the crafting then starting it again later and hope it actually works. This is a big problem for automation. Has anyone else been having this problem? Is there any solution? Thanks!

Me too! It was working but 10 minutes ago, now I'm having the same issue.

I can see on the crafting monitor that it starts crafting, then just vanishes.

@Carnassial and I were troubleshooting this a bit more on his server.

Our particular problem was caused by one of two possibilities:
(1) I had crafted a recipe with a forge hammer that had been slightly used, and this created a separate item sub-id. If any of your recipes call for a tool, double check your recipes to ensure they use brand new tools.

The other possibility.

(2) We had a recipe for a block of iron, and also a recipe to decompose a block of iron into 9 ingots. I had the idea that this might cause a recursive loop... "oh, I need block of iron <grab 9 ingots>. now I need ingots, I'll break up a block of iron". Check for recipes that might potentially 'undo' another recipe. Compressing / decompressing cobblestone would be another such example.

There is also the option that it is something completely different in your case, but we fixed both of the above issues and it started working for us again.

Good luck!
