Description

When a Factory Gauge orders a recipe for a Mechanical Crafter, the ingredient layout is not preserved after being unpackaged through an Inventory Access Port.

Specifically, when the ordered package is inserted via a Packager connected to an Inventory Access Port that feeds into a Mechanical Crafter, the ingredients lose their intended positions. As a result, the Mechanical Crafter receives the correct items but in an incorrect arrangement, causing shaped recipes to fail.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a 3x3 Mechanical Crafter with their inventories connected
2. Connect it to an Inventory Access Port.
3. Place a Packager connected to the Inventory Access Port
4. Setup basic stock link and packager combo on a storage medium of your choice
5. Use a Factory Gauge to order the recipe (With Use Mechanical Crafter on).
6. Insert package into packager and watch as it fills incorrectly

The access port provides a standard inventory interface to connected machineries, which doesn't support shaped recipes. Packagers are likely hardcoded to recognize mechanical crafters, but I'll see if this is easy to patch.
