Tools which are used but not consumed in recipes are not supported

Short description:

Some mod introduces items that are needed in recipes but are not consumed. Technically, the recipes consumes some of their durability. Examples: the Transmutation Stone of Retro-Exchange, the saws of Forge Multipart, the hammer and wire cutter of Immersive Engineering, copying variables in Integrated Dynamics...

If I wanted to craft 8 plates using the IE's hammer, the same hammer could be used and re-used each time, but the crafter complains about missing 7 hammers.

I'd like a way to tell the crafter that the hammer will not be consumed and that only one can be reused several times. I am not sure how this could be handled, maybe a flag in the Logic Programmer when creating the recipe ? (e.g. "this item will not be consumed").

Hmm, that might be tricky (when taking into account parallelization), but important to have indeed.

This is very needed for automation of dyes using pestle and mortar, too.

An additional complication to this is that you would need a way to specify which slots in a recipe should not be pulled from the machine/crafting table when the recipe is done, which could be a bitch, since most machines have to be set to auto-export and not all mods are smart enough to "keep" their reusable items.

This could be mitigated if scope is reduced a bit, i.e. only implement this for the crafting interface import setup, ignoring the paired importer setup. This should be enough for most recipes I've come across.

Another reason to have this, is when automating the crafting of Mystical Agriculture essences using the (infinite uses) infusion crystal.

Will be added in the upcoming release of IC.
