You've been doing it wrong this whole time.

Modify the recipe to ensure the resource type is highest in the equipment type you wish to target (Primary resource). Many recipes end with 1 in order to make a particular resource type primary in order to optimise its drop rate, when equipment requires identical base resource numbers - or to intentionally reduce the drop rate of unwanted alternatives.
 * DOUBLE CHECK THE PRIMARY RESOURCE TYPE! For instance, while the minimum required resource for46cm Triple Gun Mount is 10-240-250-10, using these numbers directly will result in essentially a ZERO DROP RATE as the primary resource in this mix is Fuel/Steel due to the 250 steel used. Therefore, in order to get it to drop, the cheapest recipe for the gun is 10-251-250-10. IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP, YOU RISK WASTING RESOURCES COMPLETELY!
