This is an issue with realistic item drops.

When you throw the items from your inventory onto the conveyor belt you create an item entity. Almost immediately, realistic item drops creates a new real drop entity that lies flat on the ground or floats in water, and deletes the original. There is a small delay though when both entities exist at once. Immersive Engineering pulls from the item entity first and so you can get an extra craft out of every stack you drop on the metal press input.

I don't think there's anything we can do to fix this short of disabling realistic item drops.

Thanks for the explanation. I just run a private server for a few friends and I can control not to exploit this but this could be a bigger issue for servers with economy.

I'm still getting this issue on current patch but it doesn't seem as common.

What do you mean? We haven't released this update yet?

Apologies, I saw status patched and assumed it was already implemented.
