Tool still recommends default screw recipe with cast screws selected

In my eyes, this doesn't make sense. Cast screws cost the same raw materials and is using less machines. I assume it's because the default rotor recipe would need iron rods as well, but I use copper rotors instead.

Of course, I can fix it by deselecting the default screw recipe, but the issue might not always be that obvious.

Tools do not optimise for anything other than raw resources.

That being said, you're using maximise, which doesn't optimise for anything (just for max production). Recommended way to use maximise is to change to items/min once you figure out the max possible number (and in items/min mode, cast screws get used over regular ones)

Thank you for the explanation and the quick response. This actually makes sense.
