If you post a crash log with the latest version, I can look into it. The log you posted looks exactly like the bug that 1.0.2 fixes.

Currently using your 1.0.1 version on 1.19.8 and when i click on the *, the client crashes to desktop. Had the same issue on 1.0.2 before, so i went back to 1.0.1.

I did have the items required in my inventory.
Crash report

Kathanon Yay! Thank you so much for fixing this up so quickly! ^^

The dll *is* in the root folder, and it is a client-side only mod. I think you should bring it up with them.

Kathanon Getting an error with the latest version.
12.11.2024 14:12:25 [Server Error] [workbenchexpansion] File 'ImprovedHandbookRecipes.dll' is not in the mod's root folder. Won't load this mod. If you need to ship unmanaged dlls, put them in the native/ folder.
Not sure if you have to fix this or workbench.

OniLynx69: Turns out there were two separate bugs, one affecting all of the refractory bricks, but only the * button, and one affecting both buttons, but only the tier 2 version of the recipe.

ShikiTochi: The buttons are not shown unless the crafting grid is also open. That may be the reason.

Update:

• Fixed crash when using + or * buttons for a shapeless recipe with empty spots (e.g. refractory bricks tier 2).

Kathanon: I downloaded the latest update, but am still experiencing issues with the mod crashing the game when attempting to pull refractory brick items to the crafting grid. I tried using both, the "+" and the "*", and both produced the same result. I attempted it several times, and even disabled all other mods (with the exception of the default game mods).

Below is the last attempt's crash log:

You mean the 1.20 pre-releases? No, I've been meaning to make a version for 1.20, but haven't yet.

Does this new version work for the PR releases? (started crashing hard a couple versions ago).

This is one of those mods that should be vanilla, hate playing without it.

Update:

• Fixed bug where using the * button for a shapeless recipe causes crash.

OniLynx69: I couldn't reproduce the tooltip issue, but I do recognize it from development, so I may just have managed to do the initial release before it was fixed. Please do let me know if this fixes that issue as well for you.

I'll look into it.

I absolutely love this mod! A godsend for making things a lot quicker! I have encountered a minor issue, and 1 major issue resulting in a game crash (reproducable).

Minor issue:
Text for tooltips, viewable when hovering over "*" [astrisk] or "+" icons, is off center from the tooltip itself. ie, appears above and to the left of the tooltip.

https://onilynx69.live/vintagestory_error_images/tooltip_bug.png

Major issue:
When attempting to set the crafting grid to craft refractory bricks, regardless of tier, the game will crash.

been looking for this mod for quite some time now! Thanks!

Cuddly_Khan: I think that would have the potential to confuse users. Maybe I can make something similar, I'll give it some thought.

jayu: Please do. If it is repeatable, it's likely to be for the same recipe. Include what recipe it was when you post the log, please.

Hey so my game freezes (doesn't crash) when I press the add max button. Will try to save the client-main log when it happens again.

I have a suggestion:
If the crafting grid has already been filled using the add max, then pressing it again will take the result out of the output and fill the grid again. Would make crafting tedious stuff a bit faster such as firewood and path blocks. :D

Amazing mod thank you so much!

More people need to know about this! It should be in vanilla lol. Please if you can put a nicer thumbnail so more people discover this very useful mod. Thanks!

Funciona perfectamente, gracias por hacerme la vida mas facil

😄
