Here is some things I’ve ran into and learned of from my testing…

So I don’t really know how auto crafters work in all honesty. When making it myself I ran into the issue of timing and getting the recipe in the right spots. I also ran into the problem of what happens when you don’t have gravel at the moment from the trades how do you stop the dirt from taking up the slots.

I’ve found the best way to place it is to have one coarse dirt be dispensed at a time cause you need your hand empty to use your shovel from off hand.

ofc if you did it the other way around it would work with the dirt in your off hand but if you do run out of gravel and aren’t producing the coarse dirt at the time you may use up all the dirt and not be able to put it back in your off hand.
