Build a Supply Loop, Not a Recipe Queue

Glow is not listed as a direct Craftbot output in the checked data. Its practical route runs through a Glowb that consumes Cardboard, so the real inputs are creature access, feed stock, and collection time.

Reserve It for Finished Parts

  • Keep Cardboard Block production separate from structural Cardboard use.
  • Collect Glow in batches before beginning a multi-light build.
  • Use the generated recipe list to verify every current Glow quantity.
