Hello and happy new year ! Hope you're doing alright, and hope you're still updating this mod !

There are a few more issues caused by assembly machine 2 requirements I'm afraid :

-Can't get wolframite/tungsten, as the sorting recipe requires mineral water, which requires Assembly Machines 2, which requires tungsten to craft
-Same with tantalite/niobium
-Same with the bismuth recipe, although at the very least this one isn't as much of a softlock as it just becomes a supply issue without the recipe

Sorry for the delay. I will try to update this in the next few days.

Haha, no issues ! Your mod is an ambitious one, especially considering all the other mods out there. I could make half a dozen threads of feedback, but I'm fully aware you're one person~

If I recall correctly, you're playing with the Bob's Electronics fork for K2 and BZ, right? That may help me narrow down what exactly needs to change to fix the softlock.

So in the next update I will try moving all three of those ore sorting recipes to the "basic-chemistry" category. This means you can craft them in burner chemical plants from BZGas/BrimStuff. Based on my testing with FNEI and Factory Planner there should not be a softlock with that change. I'm trying to include some other changes too so it may take a little while.

I ran into the tungsten issue as well

An option i had thought of was to add a small percentage chance of wolframite to the sort stone -> Limestone/Zircon recipe
That would allow a small setup to bootstrap building the first Assembly Machine 2 allowing use of current recipe
