This is confirmed for this Mod.
If you are running this mod, Maraxis, AAI Industry, Muluna Moon of Nauvis. For some reason, this breaks the recipe chain and ruins the Motor Recipe.

This Mod for some reason, Disables the hand craft recipe for Small Electrical Motor. it will make the copper cables not automatically craft for the Motor.
Even though you have copper-plates in your inventory.

You can manually craft the copper-plates into cables, and then craft the motor, but you have to click on the cables for each one.

I do not know what could be causing this, my mod doesn't change the handcraftability of cables and the motors only gain an additional crafting category which shouldn't interfere with the handcrafting

I've gone through every other mod in the list, with this planet gets disabled, the item is crafting normally.
I had to go through like 6 restarts and frustration after frustration... Idk why it happens.
Just a combination of all the mods maybe, but for some reason if this planet mod is enabled with the others, it refuses to craft it.

Oh
Idk sorry
Ill ask around

other mod dev here, failed to reproduce it with the list of mods you mentioned, if you could include a save to sync with that'd be helpful.
