Was not aware this was a 'feature.' Its fine, and I can understand the reasoning behind it. It just confused the hell out of me because I couldn't find anything about it in the patch notes.

Using a wrench on machines (such as a Macerator) sometimes gives back a Machine block. The same thing happens for generators such as Solar Panels, except it gives a normal generator.
Nothing unusual shows up in the console and there aren't any unusual circumstances in use. I can be in creative mode and use a wrench with unchanging energy (or not in creative mode with an electric wrench being used up). In all cases it appears 1 in 5 wrench right clicks will produce a normal machine block or generator. I went through 50 macerators as a test, 10 came back as normal machines. This effect has been occuring on all machines.
