Game Mechanics: Certain recipes broken (patch day)

[Golaniel]

Combined Small Piece of Ore + Dagger Mold + Water to make a Small Brick of Ore or a Sheet Metal...can't remember which b/c another invalid combine created the other.
Combined my skinning knife and silk thread to make a silk bandage. Tried this after I couldn't combine a silk thread with LQ pelt to make Leather Padding.
Skinning Knife recipe is broken (and thus I cannot replace the one I lost).

Rough night...

It almost seems like the 2nd thing placed into a container is being treated as if it is the same as the first thing in the container.
