The way I remember the crafting window, when its open each line has 3 columns, 1st is the number of items you can make, 2nd is the name of the item and on the far right is the level of the item. If Im remembering right, why dos the first number say 0 when I can make a bunch of that item? Is this a bug or is there something else Im forgetting?

It's a bug, I get it sometimes. The number of items I can make usually fixes itself as soon as I set a comp to craft an item (any item).

 

Check the schematics, if you have the mats needed then you can have a comp craft the item even if the first number reads zero.
