Brygun of the BAC here
During recent tests for tech levels within the BAC mod I found that having
{Cord}
as a recipe item didn't work.
I was hoping to access our various mod built things that use "Cord" as a base object.
There is in the BAC things like "split spruce twigs" which IMHO are good enough for tying up meat and low quality loop snares. I had hoped to use {*cord} for things with cord in their name to be a better quality tech level.
For that to happen, at the lower tech level, I had needed {Cord} to accept items with the cord base object.
I don't think this is a bug as there isn't a problem with the vanilla game. So I've put this in the suggestion forums.
