I will explain how it works (or at least how I hope it works).
First, it generates all recipes on game launch.

• Scan all recipes already exists. Those which met following conditions are passed to next step, other ignored
  
  
  
  • recipe work amount < 120 seconds
  • has only one product
  • has at least one ingredient
• For each recipe selected in previous step:
  make sequence of multiplied recipes until last one have work amount > 120
  

So there is not more than one recipe with work amount > 120 for each source recipe.

Then mod just hide recipes that should not be shown in recipes lists.

If "Put recipes in context menu" checked (in mod settings) than all generated recipes are shown only in right click menu.
Else, if "Put recipes in context menu" unchecked, than generated recipes are shown in same list as source ones right after them, but only that which has work amount less than 1.5*[Default target time] (where "Default target time" is bad named mod setting).

So it is correct that you see different number of bulk recipes for different source recipes. However, it is not correct that sometimes multipliers are skipped and even stock recipe is not accessible (or it just didn't fit on screenshot?). I'll check why this could happen.

I make recipes generate on game launch because otherwise it will be more difficult to implement. Recipe list is not local to particular save. If I would make a option to change 120 second limit, it will not be safe to load saves after lowering this value if save uses recipes that are not available anymore. Or maybe it is possible to generate recipes with settings saved in save right on save loading (and remove recipes on unload?), or catch missing recipe errors, anyway it is much easier (at least for me) to make it like it is made now, and I don't think that longer bulk recipes really should exist.

Thanks for the feedback!

It is a bug. I fixed it now. Also I changed errors and warnings in this update so now red errors mean real errors and likely should be examined.

Wow, I don't know now how this could happen. Thanks for report. I'll try to figure this out. I tested adding and removing it to/from saves few times with different other mods combinations, and the only problem I found happens when loading save that have bills made by this mod while it is disabled, and even in this case nothing was lost.
Exceptions are from method for patching RecipeIcons mod for compatibility, maybe I overlooked something stupid in that code.

Edit: Ok, I found a way to cause same error message. It is a special case when Recipe icons mod present and enabled, but it's dlls are missing. Still not clear for me how this can cause mentioned loss of pawns etc. but I made this part more failsafe in new update, so at least errors will be more informative next time.

Updated. Now added recipes are in context menu (right click) of original ones.

I added such option. But recipes list in game become more multiplier list than item to craft list, so it is disabled by default until I find better solution. Also meaning of that numeric value in option changed, so it should be like 5 times larger than before for similar behavior.

Bulk recipe generator

Description
Generates bulk recipes for what crafts too fast.

Scans recipes on game launch and makes copies for those with a short crafting time, multiplying ingredients count, products count, and work amount.
Right click original recipe in "Add bill" list to see corresponding bulk ones.

Compatibility

• Safe to add to saves.
• To safely remove it remove bills on work tables that uses this mod's recipes first (can be done automatically by using button on mod settings page).
• Should work with recipes from other mods, however it is not properly tested yet.
