Describe the bug
When a recipe uses 10 or more distinct ingredient types, the factory gauge fails to connect to the mechanical crafter to register the recipe.
A concrete example is the Create Ore Excavation drilling machine (createoreexcavation:drilling_machine), which requires 10+ distinct item types in a large mechanical crafter grid. The factory gauge simply cannot link to this recipe, making it impossible to automate drilling machine production via factory gauges.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Create Ore Excavation (COE) alongside Create and Extra Gauges.
- Place a factory gauge for the drilling machine (the output gauge).
- Place separate factory gauges for each ingredient and connect them to the output gauge one by one (e.g., via right-clicking with the gauge linker).
- When attempting to connect the 10th ingredient gauge, the connection fails — the 10th material gauge cannot be linked to the output gauge.
Expected Behavior
The factory gauge should connect to and fully recognize the drilling machine recipe with all 10+ ingredient types, allowing automated crafting via stock links / requesters.
Actual Behavior
The factory gauge cannot connect at all. The connection either fails silently, or only a subset of the recipe slots are recognized. The recipe is effectively un-automatable through factory gauges.
Recipe Details
- Item:
createoreexcavation:drilling_machine
- Grid size: 5×5
- Mod providing recipe: Create Ore Excavation
Environment
- Minecraft Version: 1.21.1
- Mod Loader: NeoForge
- Mod Loader Version: 21.1.235
- Create Version: 6.0.10
- Extra Gauges Version: 2.1.2
- Create Ore Excavation Version: 1.6.8
Additional Context
This is likely related to the factory gauge being designed around the vanilla 3×3 crafting grid (max 9 slots). With mods like Create Ore Excavation introducing large-grid recipes with 10+ ingredient types, lifting this restriction would significantly improve automation capabilities.
