Pattern loop spams console with error and causes server time out

[Corcustos]

Describe the bug

A user of mine has created 2 autocrafting patterns for bone meal that sort of sustain each other and when they ran out of materials my console was spammed and my server times out.

They sent me this crudely made flow chart to explain why and what they are using it for. I saw a similar issue was fixed in Beta 15, but I am on the latest release. If there is anything else you need please let me know.

How can we reproduce this bug or crash?

1. Make pattern loop
2. Run out of resource

Base RS won't support recursive recipes with a simple tool. You'll have to figure out a solution using external crafters (subnets!) and Detectors.

Or look out for the Step Crafter from @starforcraft whenever that happens though!....if it even gets it way on Fabric.
see ultramega im doing free pr for u can u drop it already

The setup described in my original post already works flawlessly as long as the materials are present on base RS. It's only when the materials run out that RS throws an error about not being able to calculate the materials and causes a server-wide time out with the pattern loop present. As long as the materials are stocked no errors/crashes occur and the system functions as expected without problems. Are you suggesting that this was never intended to work in the first place? Apologies if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

I suppose the part where the Autocrafting Upgrade continuously throws errors in the log could be improved. But the recursive recipe part is definitely not supported.

Again, look into using Detectors to put an automatic switch on your Autocrafting Upgrade.

Makes sense. In that case, yeah, the part where RS freaks and times the server out when the resources are empty could definitely be improved I would say. I will suggest my users rework their systems to use detectors to prevent this, but I can definitely see users not knowing that RS shouldn't be used this way and accidentally causing issues for the entire server in the future.

There will be a fabric version! (Even if it's not worth it in terms of downloads)
