Why it doesn’t work for “reversible” items? I don’t get it at all.

That’s a new one. Thanks for reporting.

New? It’s quite ancient and not a “bug”, but something explicitly prevented in code (it gives a msgbox on attempt).

I also always wondered about it. Kinda makes sense when you assume that reversible items get disassembled into the exact stuff used to make them, but many items disassemble into default components instead.

Then I either forgot or missed that particular part of the code. Either way, I hadn’t been aware of it. Probably batch-crafting has trouble assigning ingredients or something.

Check this report of mine: [http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=8562.0](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=8562.0)  
You always disassemble items to some certain set of parts.
