Immersive Engineering disruptive permalocked blocks

[Fuhrmaaj]

There is a fair chance that all of this is intended, but I don't have a good way to communicate with you because we're never in IRC at the same time. Is there a community for this modpack?

The wooden storage crate is permalocked, which means that players can not craft:
- Item Robin (from Immersive Integration, I think there are alternatives)
- Engineer's Toolbox

The blast furnace brick block is permalocked, which means that players can not craft:
- Reinforced Blast Furnace Brick

Which means that the following multiblock structures can not be formed:
- Crude Blast Furnace
- Improved Blast Furnace
- Arc Furnace

I think the intent was to have players make steel in the High Oven rather than using the Blast Furnace from Railcraft or Immersive Engineering. Is the Arc Furnace meant to be disabled?

The reinforced blast bricks are not needed for the crude blast furnace.

Sorry for the confusion, but the blast furnace brick can't be crafted which means the crude blast furnace can't be formed. I just compiled all the multiblocks that couldn't be formed into one list. I think the goal is to have players make steel in the High Oven, but I was hoping that I'd be able to transition to the Arc Furnace eventually.

If the Arc Furnace is meant to be disabled, it would be nice to be able to recycle steel armour in the TiC Smeltery. I've seen this done in other packs, I'm not sure how it's done but my guess is modtweaker.
