Fixing Crafter Automation

The crafter cannot be used in a sustained automated contraption. The reason, if you don't already know, is because, when automated, it will keep crafting until there is insufficient material. After that, it is prone to jamming because random items will be inserted into the wrong slot on the grid by the hopper. I can tell that the crafter was implemented to be used in conjunction with redstone engineering, so having it not be compatible with automation is probably not what the team had in mind.

An easy way to fix this is that, if at least 1 slot in the grid is equal to 1, then the crafter will not craft. This is so that it does not free up any grid slots that could be refilled by random items that were inserted by a hopper that would jam the crafting process.

    The redstone is probably meant to be complicated, it provides a fair yet decent challenge for people who want to craft things, and in my eyes, it'd be far to trivial to craft items in the late game without this hindrance.
