I recently had the fortune to find some MREs in the stable release. I opened them up and went: Woo! Matchbooks!
Only there… were no matches in the matchbooks. In two MREs. Seems like a bug to me. 🙂

Someone needs to add the necessary code to make generating charged items via json recipe possible. Shouldn’t be very difficult, I could perhaps muddle through it myself, but I’d rather let someone more proficient do so.

when I switched the MREs over to the kit form I didn’t know about the charged bit, so it’s giving you an empty matchbook for some reason, and always will until you can have charged items in disassembly recipes.
