A workaround to this is to hit tag for search and it should still highlight the resource that you don't have enough of even though it says you have enough. In some cases, the game says you have more of a resource than you actually have available. This can potentially break the game because this allows you to put a MIRV launcher on a minigun. Now you pass the condition check, just build it. If success, the confirm will pop, the selection hovered on a different item. You can select an available mod/item, then press 'E' and quickly move the mouse to select another mod at the same time.
When you want to modify/make a weapon/armor/item but you don't have the perk.
