Let me add also another reason why i would like a tick box to disable the burning assemble: mods that add starting items. I actually can add the assemble, solar panel or whatever, via other mods, so really, it's just "no starting items" thing.
Also, another mod ideea: insted of no crafting, with alternatives solution, how about a mod where the crafting is extremly slow, so slow that we will only use it when there really is no chose. And no, this does change gameplay because there is no "oh just don't craft". People would not need mods that remove aspect from the game if "just don't use/do" is something we could do just because we say we will not. Best exemple is a no mess factory
