When the recipe contains bucket, auto workbench will throw away empty bucket, even if chests and pipes are nearby.
I can't prevent auto workbenches from throwing my bucket. Is it a bug?

Yes it will throw buckets out because it only has 1 output slot, the crafting output will fill up the slot leaving nowhere for the bucket to be stored so it is thrown out in the world.

for more 'complex' crafting recipes that have extra outputs like buckets you can use the advanced crafting table, that has more output slots

But advanced crafting table doesn't work in 1.11.2 😢

it should work, what doesn't work for you?

Advenced crafting table is fully charged (500/500MJ) but does not craft a pickaxe

Which version of Buildcraft are you using?

7.99.6

...maybe that broke at some point :(

@AEnterprise I think that https://github.com/BuildCraft/BuildCraft/blob/8.0.x/common/buildcraft/factory/util/IAutoCraft.java#L59 should probably call addToBestAcceptor rather than drop to fix the primary issue.

currenty taking a look at them where things go wrong, already added the addToBestAcceptor it was in the old code but i missed it when rewriting it

I opened an issue for Advenced crafting table because it is different bug.
See #3726
