Hey, so since I read that some people have crashed while making or placing pies, but also had other mods installed usually, I tried it with only EF 1.5.3P2 and a completely new world.
The Game Version is 1.16.3 but I also tried 1.16.4 and it is still the same. I play and test in Singleplayer.
When you create a pie using creative inventory dough, it works, it places and you can fill it with different ingredients.
If you make the dough in the crafting grid or mixing bowl, with flour and water and placeit, you automatically soft-crash, since you are looking at it.
While not "Game-breaking", it still is annoying and as others have said, I truly love your mod and I usually only update once a stable version is out, only this time I couldn't resist and wanted to help out with finding bugs and problems.
Maybe I can find a "fix" like the old "meatnugget problem" back in the day.
Cheers, Ashtal.
