    1.Title: Recipes that need a second 'tool' can't be crafted
    2.Reproduction Rate: 100% on the tools I tried
    3.Blocker? Not in the strictest sense (game is playable) but you are going to be restricted in what can be crafted
    4.Details: Some recipes require two tools. For example to smelt an ingot you need smelting tongs and a mold. To create heartwood you need a carpentry hammer and a wood rasp. There are other examples of this kind where 2 tools are needed before you can craft an item. When you place a primary tool, such as smelting tongs, on the table you will be asked if they if they should be equipped. When you drag a secondary tools, such as a mold, you are asked if the secondary tool should be equipped. You can say yes and it will turn blue which seems to be an indication that a tool is equipped. If you add the necessary resources to craft an item, the craft button will not light up and you can't craft the item. If you have a recipe that requires two tools and you have the tools and resources in your inventory, you can double click on the recipe. The tools will be equipped (if the tool isn't equipped you get the message to equip the tool) but the crafting button doesn't light up so you can't craft the item.

    This was tested with a few different secondary tools. The results aren't specific to a particular tool or crafting skill. (the results were the same whether smelting or tailoring or a different skill was used.

    5.Steps to Reproduce:
    - Get the tools and resources needed to create an item that requires two tools. For this example I'll create iron ingots.
    - If the smelting tongs aren't equip do that.
    - You can equip the ingot mold if you want. It will be automatically equipped when you double click the ingot recipe.
    - Find the iron ingot recipe.
    - Double click it. If the ingot mold isn't equipped you will be asked if you want to equip it. Say yes.
    - All of the resources will be added to the table. (Notice that the ingot mold doesn't appear as equipped or in the right hand side of the window showing that it is equipped. Could this be a second bug??)
    - Notice that the crafting button doesn't light up.
    - If you repeat the steps but drag the ingot mold, and each of the resources to the table then you will get the same results.

    This was a known issue as of Friday and should be resolved in an upcoming patch. Thank you for reporting!
