Issue description:

I was trying to automate Botania crafting, and I tried facing a crafter at a Botania Open Crate.
I also tried vanilla hoppers and ExtraUtil2's mini chest.

What happens:

Nothing. Items will not move from the system, and the recipe will stay in the crafting monitor.

What you expected to happen:

The items specified in the recipe to be sent to these blocks.
(Also, I tried outputting to a chest, and that worked)
I don't know if this is intentional, or not, so I thought I'd post it here.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a recipe in the proccessing pattern encoder
2. Put it in a crafter
3. Stick a hopper/Open Crate/Mini Chest in front of the hopper
4. Attempt to autocraft

Version (Make sure you are on the latest version before reporting):

• Minecraft: 1.10.2
• Forge: 12.18.3.2185
• Refined Storage: 1.2.12
• FTB Infinity Lite: 1.4.1

Does this issue occur on a server? [yes/no]
Yes, this was done on my locally hosted sever.

Yeah, the crafter expects that all items can be put into the inventory. If we wouldn't do that you could get really odd interactions with other mods. I guess you'll need to take that into account. You would always put the crafter against a chest and have that move into the Open Crate with a hopper.

Anyways this is an other quality report that can go on my list of examples of how to report bugs 👍

Could you share some pictures of the setup and patterns?

I think I figured it out. The crafter won't output unless all of the ingredients can be sent. I don't know if this is quite a bug, but it does kind of prevent autocrafting for botania. (I'm guessing the open crate only has 1 storage slot)

This was my setup

Everything was also tested on this

This recipe did not work for me

This recipe worked for me
(By work, I mean it outputted into the hopper/crate)

However, after replacing the Open Crate/Hopper with a chest,
it would start working with anything I input

I then tried random recipes with varying amounts of input items:

= Only works with Chest=
6 Items

= Works with chests and hoppers =
5 Items
4 Items
3 Items
2 Items

= Works with chests/hoppers/open crates/mini chests/dirt chests/pretty much anything I threw at it =
1 Item Recipes

I have set this up as follows. Mini chest into hopper, I then have an exporter with a crafting upgrade. As long as the resonator has a crafter and importer connected this will automate Botania.
