Whenever I play the Von Neumann mod, I can create an infinite amount of anything from the crafting section of the character screen. Anything I want to create just gets created and dropped on the ground, and doesn't use any resources.

Can you remove this?

What other mods are you using?

There is code to allow/detect crafting, then cancel it and replace the cursor with a ghost of the item.

I have the same bug, tried it with all mods disabled, still happening... (started a new Scenario) Can we help you with a log/settings/...?

What version of base game?

Base Mod: 0.17.79
Von Neumann: 0.6.32

Started new game with the ModScenario: Von Neumann/Freeplay and map: Von Neumann Scenario.
Leftclick on any item will craft it instead of selecting a ghost of the item as i would expect from the description.

I created a gif of it as well: https://imgur.com/a/BXzTeBv

Same when starting the UserScenario: Von Neumann (Freeplay)

"Pick ghost item if no items are available" is activated

Thanks @Yolgie !

I believe this is fixed in v0.7.33. (Thanks to notten01 for https://github.com/abaines/Von-Neumann/pull/4)

@cylarc and @Yolgie can you confirm the latest is working for you?

I also made a v0.6.34 for 0.17.79, but I haven't tested it beyond this issue.

idea: maybe you also add a feature where you can craft items for free, but the crafting takes an amount of energy that scales with the cost of the recipe? i quite enjoyed the free crafting and that could be a way to balance it... just an idea, though. also, maybe a little button to toggle this fix? i hope asking for a button isn't too much :>
