More generalized crafting machine selection #130

Open KirkMcDonald opened 5 years ago

Some recipes may be crafted with multiple entities. In the vanilla dataset, this (mostly) only arises with assembling machines and furnaces. In certain mods (e.g. Bob's) there are more crafting categories for which this is a concern. The calculator should have some way of selecting crafting machines for these other cases in a generalized way.

This may be related to #96.

With 0.17 this would also be really useful in vanilla. Assembly machine 2 has a speed of 0.75 for 150kW. AM3 is 1.25 for 375kW. And the ingredient limits have been removed. So it becomes very attractive to use AM3 with modules - for example in science - but produce the ingredients for it in AM2. There are even some cases where AM1 is fast enough
