## I'm Not Adding Autocrafting
When I was first thinking about autocrafting, it seemed simple enough - recursively go through a tree of patterns. This is because Dragon's crafting algorithm was incredibly naive. For Wyvern, I wanted to avoid manually transcribing recipes from JEI, so I got a recipe dump - a JSON file, containing every recipe available. This resulted in the naive picture no longer working. At all. Some examples which it would not work correctly on:
* Recipes which are their own inputs.
* Any sort of recipe loop, generally.
* Multiple ways to craft a thing.
* Those weird subjective situations, where a user wants to use one of 1000 oak logs and not one of 8 dark oak planks. Most autocrafters will pick the thing requiring the least crafting tasks - often this is not what is wanted.
* Parallelizing crafting across multiple assemblers
In short, unless someone develops some fancy algorithm to figure out crafting paths (tree/graph pathfinding or something?), I can't really add it.
