After trying some high-level recipes with my pure (m)craft sets, I'm starting to think that these higher recipes have minimum control requirement, so I'll look into throwing in a little more control to see if that helps. Any thoughts you have on a possible minimal control and its effects on gains or success rate would be very helpful.
