I have a several mods enabled, but I don't see anything that modifies the cable or the assemblers other than PlanetsLib, which I did start with just PlanetsLib and Blueprint Sandboxes, and the issue didn't happen again, so it's probably some weird interaction.

The only mod I have that I know changes vanilla recipes (not adding alternates, or just adding new recipes) is one that makes space platforms cheaper. No worries if you don't feel like digging through it. I might do a bunch of mod configurations to see if I can figure out the culprit. Just makes me sad that all my circuit blueprints are operating short 50% of the cable :P
