Pistol recyles into removed recipe's resources

[Hellpest]

What did you do?
Recycled a pistol.

What happened?
The pistol recycled into copper and iron plates, consistent with the removed pre-2.0.7 recipe.


What did you expect to happen instead?
The pistol should recycle into itself with 25% chance, to be consistent with other uncraftable / chemically altered resources and to allow quality upcycling.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.

The pistol recipe was not Removed; just marked as “hidden” so that you can’t easily craft new ones. Im pretty sure you can still access it by Blueprint String editing or importing a pre-2.0 save.

recipe.lua

Edit: Testing shows that while you can create a Blueprint, you get "Recipe not researched" because no Technologies are setup to unlock the Recipe. D'oh!

There is, of course, a mod for that.
