Crafting Question

I know this belongs in general but for some reason I'm not allowed to make a new topic anywhere but here.

I've printed out 34 pages from a CC printer. I bound them in groups of 8 using 8x Page + String.

Trying to create a book but I cannot bind more than 2 of my Printed Pages (16 total in two bundles) into a book. The second I put the third one in the recipe, it fails.

This page here does not post any limits on number of pages and suggests that what I'm trying to do is supported:

I can't find any documentation as to max page size. Any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

I ended up making 4 books so I don't have all the original items. But yes, I had 3 "Printed Pages" items on the top row with 1 string and one leather anywhere. With 2 of them (each contained 8 pages) it worked fine. Adding a third one caused me to be unable to craft anything. This is done on the Space Astronomy pack.

Sadly 16 is a hardcoded limit for the number of pages in a book, so you won't be able to craft a book with more pages. I suspect this limit existed to prevent the GUI looking a little ridiculous, but it might be possible to redesign it so the limit can be higher.
