right now, if i go to make a deluxe sandwich, it tells me i can't make (more) buns because i need chef II, which I have had forever. What's more, I can take the pan and make all the buns I want.
"Crafters/tools sometimes don't realize you know a recipe/have a skill when you do- For instance, you want to make Mexicali Eggs, and you have Cheffery I, but the tool (Frying Pan) doesn't think you do for making Tortillas, part of the recipe. Reloading will probably fix this, or craft the item outside of the recipe. But feel free to open an in-game bug report when this happens, with the dialog open to the recipe in that state."
