CraftPriority
CraftPriority orders crafting queues by job size. A big job steps aside between units while smaller ones go through, then carries on where it left off.

What it does
ASA crafts strictly first come, first served. Queue 1,000 rifle bullets in a tribe Fabricator and the next player who needs one chestpiece, or a quick repair, waits for every bullet. CraftPriority runs the smallest job first instead.
A big job finishes the unit it is on, lets the smaller job through, then picks up where it stopped, with no progress lost. Costs, cancelling, power loss and the queue limit all behave exactly as they do in vanilla.
Smallest Job First
Whenever a station starts its next job, it picks the smallest one waiting. A repair counts as one.
No Lost Progress
A big job pauses between units, never mid-craft, and resumes where it left off.
Fair to Everyone
Priority is by size alone, not by who queued it. Normal station access still applies.
Vanilla Costs
Every unit is paid for exactly once, by the game. The plugin never creates, removes or refunds anything.
One Switch
Turn it off and stations behave exactly like unmodified ASA. The config reloads from the console or RCON.
