This mod adds hidden voiding and sourcing recipes for each item/fluid. It allows telling helmod that something is being produced elsewhere (in input by product) or that something is being voided (in input by ingredient). For complex chains it can help the matrix solver to find a solution (as demonstrated on the screenshot). Such recipes can also serve as documentation of production chain ends.

Every recipe uses a custom, uncraftable assembling machine so the recipes are effectively not functional - they can only be viewed.

Adding the recipes happens in the last data stage because helmod doesn't require to know the recipes at load time. It also may make other mods not recognize the recipes but it's by design. Addionally fnei and void_info mods are specified as optional dependencies to ensure they don't see these recipes at load time.
