This mod seems to work better than Best Mix . Would it be possible to add an expiry filter?

There is no issue with empty modlist, and the issue happens when storages start to be "far" from workbench (~17 tiles away).
I can try to find the conflicting mod when I finished to update my modlist to 1.5.

I still have the same issue with shelves, and never used "Performance Fish".

i would have 2 suggestions:
-it would be great to add a way to create a custom rule for "best".
-at the very least, an option to "minimize" the cost of the crafting. For instance if we're just training a low level crafter, we can set him to use the cheapest materials for all his bills

Id love to see this concept adapted to other stuff like building materals

About the problems with shelves commented on below: The problem isn't actually with shelves, but a partial incompatibility with Performance Fish - see description for details.
