[Issue] Disable synthesizing the orb you have open. about equivalencytech HOT 4 CLOSED

This is not a bug. The orb is a valid synthesis item with an EMC value. This is the same behaviour as the transmutation table/tablet from ProjectE which this is derived from and is, therefore, intended :).

Yes, you can synthesize orbs, but i dont think you should be able to synthesize your only orb, as you can misclick and boom, its gone now

I agree it is a punishing mechanic, it is both true to the mod and true to the process that the mechanic is trying to replicate. If a player is willing to try to input their orb they should know the potential consequence is losing that orb. If it’s a misclick, you don’t get an item back if you mis-press Q over lava?

Given that you have not lost anything (the full EMC value is stored and you get the ‘lost’ orb back, in effect, when you craft the next one. This will stay as is and as intended. If there is further reasonings let me know.

sure but its a lot easier to accidentally shift click the orb, and the orb is SIGNIFIGANTLY more expensive than any other item you'd drop into lava

again sure but now you need to get several netherite blocks again
