I've been playing 1.4.8.1 beta, but this issue still seems to happen in 1.4.8.1. I have beams, slabs, plates, parchments, and manuscripts set to be crafted automatically. I don't seem to have an issue with crafting beams, slabs, plates, or parchments at any crafting trigger, but manuscripts will only craft when the trigger is set between 0-0.3. Anything higher and my culture just fills up completely without crafting any manuscripts. The only resource that I have set is furs with stock at 500 and consume at 1. I've experimented with setting culture to stock at 0 and consume at 1, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. This appears to be a bug, as I don't believe I'm doing anything that would cause this to happen?
Also, when I have the crafting trigger set at 0.3 then it will only use 300 culture to produce 2.8 manuscripts even though I still have ~800 culture left and manuscripts aren't set to limited.
I've turned off everything except crafting, observe astro events, auto praise, and auto hunt.

Update: We were discussing this on reddit and someone mentioned this:
"I know i'm a little late on this but I am about 60% sure its related to the new policies. I've been doing the challenges so ive been resetting quite a bit to get through them all and I've had the manuscripts not crafting some of the runs and then they craft completely fine on other runs.
I think the issue is in the very first policy, liberty or tradition. If you chose tradition it reduces manuscript costs and I think thats what breaks kitten scientists ability to craft them. I'll admit I havent been paying super close attention to which one I take, i've alternated a few times, but I am sure the last run I did I took liberty and manuscripts did get auto crafted, and the current run they've stopped being crafted and I have taken Tradition."
This would seem to make sense, since Tradition reduces manuscript cost then it would need to be accounted for in KS. Plus, this was my first new run in KG after not playing for a few years and I chose Tradition and am having this issue. So a possible workaround for now might be choosing Liberty, but I haven't yet tested this out myself. If anyone else can confirm that crafting manuscripts works (or doesn't work) when choosing Liberty then that may be helpful to know for resolving this issue.
