gollark: Throwing an error is probably wrong - you need to stop it happening during crafting task generation.
gollark: That sounds really inconvenient.
gollark: You still need to avoid being caught in infinite loops.
gollark: That's probably impractical.
gollark: ```For instance, say I want a wooden chest: I've got several solutions: - Use an existing chest- Craft a chest from existing planks - Craft planks and then craft a chest Now, normally I'd say the first is the best. But what happens if I've only got 1 dark oak chests, and I've got 1000 oak planks. Surely it'd be better to create a chest from the planks in this case, as it results in a more balanced system.```Mentioned by the people on the CC discord I asked.
