I have a few processing & crafting patterns that involve using the item itself that is being crafted. For example, crafting food items using a phytogenic insolator. I can pull up the simulation for the processing recipe, however it will not allow me to start the process. I'm not sure if there's a limitation with crafting items using the item itself, but it almost seems like this could be a bug since AE2's crafting stores away the items used in the crafting processors in the crafting storage units.

Is this something that can be fixed or is there a setting that should be adjusted in a config?

Attached a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish.

• Minecraft Version: FTB Beyond 1.10.2
• AE2 Version: appliedenergistics2-rv4-stable-1.jar
• Forge Version: 12.18.3.2511

In short: Intentional. If you want a detailed explanation, there are a couple of duplicates. But I can't currently find them.
