UPS tools sometimes cause error unless inside inventory

[bouchacha]

Describe the bug

UPS converted tools show up properly as available in the crafting menu, but unless you move them into your inventory, the error message "you no longer have a none and can't continue crafting" pops up. This is not consistent with all tools however.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install a UPS conversion mod on a tool like soldering iron or food processor.
2. Keep it outside your inventory but nearby, and keep a charged UPS inside your inventory
3. Try and craft a recipe that requires that tool
4. You'll see the crafting start but then stop approximately 3-5% into it with "you no longer have a none and can't continue crafting"
5. Put the required tool inside your inventory
6. You can now craft again.

Expected behavior

I know that UPS behavior is a bit wonky nowadays after the battery overhaul, but it ideally should automatically connect nearby UPS and UPS-tools automatically. Sometimes it does (e.g. hotplates seem to work just fine), but the behavior is inconsistent.

Update: It seems I spoke too soon when I said hotplates work fine. The behavior does not seem consistent. Sometimes tools work just fine outside of inventory, sometimes not. I can't identify a pattern.

for me it works only when both tool & ups are in same place, i.e. either with both in inventory, or both lying around.
doesn't work if either one in inventory and other in vicinity.

[bouchacha]

I'm not sure what changed, but I can't replicate the bug anymore. I tried:

1. UPS in inventory, food processor out
2. Both UPS and chemistry set out
3. UPS in inventory, hot plate out

All worked just fine.
