Fabricator Won't Allow Switching to Different Blueprint
• Build Version: vo.1.0.alpha.20005
• Description: when operating fabricator I am trying to switch from iron plates to iron rods but the fabricator will not allow any changes to the current production.
• Reproduction Steps: the fabricator is connected to the smelter. the smelter is pushing out iron ingots and there are over 900 ingots in the fabricator. I have been clicking on E and selecting iron rods but the production remains on iron plates. I cannot switch to any other blueprint.
• Reproduction Rate: e.g., this is happening every time I try it, at least a dozen times
• Expected Behavior: since both blueprints require iron ingots to produce, and there are over 900 iron ingots in the fabricator it should allow me to switch.

Charles MayoIm stuck at this same spot with the fabricator. I cant switch it to iron rods, glass panels or wire for the quest. I've also noticed the days dont progress either
Note by Opa: ^ This is due to another issue within the current Patch, the old error was due to not having the object unlocked in the Manufactury -

Charles Mayo MergedWhen trying to choose Iron Rods for the fabricator or any other blueprint, you are unable to click the blueprint. With the Smelter you are unable to choose anything other than Iron. I have included a video showing that I am unable to swap blueprints.
