Is saphirite "Crushing by hand" meant to be better then the Ore crusher's recipe? Because you can just use regular Manufacturing plants to grind all the saphirite. I notice that sitirite is not better then the ore crushing recipe so I wonder if this is an inconsistency?

That part was taken from another mod that forms the base for this one and where I have not modified anything.

I will look into it.

But seriously, do you want to only crush things by hand for every single recipe and do so constantly for hundreds of ores? ;)

Issue should be fixed now. :)

Oh cool, I manually fixed it myself in the meanwhile. Thanks! (Also the hand crafting works in manufacturing plants, thus can be automated and exploited)

Not anymore, I guess. :p
