Some poles are missing when using AAI, Angel's and Bob's. Sadly, I couldn't find the exact bug searching the source code. The items don't have any recipe since I tried searching with FNEI and What is it really used for? I can find the item but I can't craft it since it has no recipe.

It's probably due to some mod generating recipes after mine looks for existing recipes.

If you tell me exactly what pole from which mod has its recipe missing I could look into it.

All Tier 1 Lighted poles don't have a crafting recipe with AAI enabled, nor does the Lighted Small Iron Electric Pole

Tier 1 poles from https://mods.factorio.com/mod/bobpower ?
Where's Small Iron Electric Pole from?
What part of AAI?

Sorry! I should have put more detail in, it was 4 am. AAI Industry, I believe is where the "Small Iron Electric Pole"

http://prntscr.com/lazrpa - So the Small wood lighted pole comes from "Optics" but when I look at the Small iron lighted the following happens;

This is the results for the T1 Medium and T1 Big;

We have the reverse factory mod, which basically does the same thing as yours, as in searches for defines.

My recipe lookup seems to have been too naive, checking only for result since neither base nor bobs ever used expensive recipes for poles, while AAI converts all to normal.results and expensive.results.

I've rewrote recipe lookup to find any result pole and only add lighted poles once should they appear in multiple techs.

Thanks mate!
