So i am using IC2 and am trying to finish my nanosuit armor. I built every piece except the helmet. When I try to make Advanced alloy to make the hardened glass for the NVG i need for the helmet. It says the recipe is 3 Iron Plates above 3 Copper Plates above 3 Tin plates to make mixed metal ingot. However no matter what recipe I use to make it it will not let me craft it. I can only make it in a crafting bench it says so i know I am not using the wrong thing. I have tried every way to make the plates and no plates work. I also tried making a metal former to try making plates that way. But it wont let me make that either. I am confused as to why this is happening when its letting me see the recipes so i know its not disabled. Does someone have any insight. I am playing on my friends owned server as well.
