In addition to the suggestions found here: Suggestions: Crafting + Inventory UI QoL Improvements
Would like to add a few more.
some sort of organization to the crafting windows. Right now there is really only the search option, and the small icons at the top.
Would like to see drop down lists. For example,
Building materials:
-Tier 1:
–Sandstone
—foundations and floors
—ramps and stairs
—walls
—roofs
-Tier 2:
–Stonebrick
—foundations and floors
—ramps and stairs
—walls
—roofs
-Tier 3:
–Black Ice
—foundations and floors
—ramps and stairs
—walls
—roofs
Crafting Stations:
-Artisan’s table
-armorer’s bench
etc
a detect prerequisite to crafting would be nice as well. This would make other crafted materials to be included as long as the required materials are in the inventory. (as long as it does not require another crafting station to create it)
example:
an item requires twine, but there is only plant fiber in the inventory. It would see there is enough plant fiber to craft the required twine, and so use it to create the desired item.
Along this line, it might also be helpful if items included a suggested breakdown of necessary raw materials. (example: brickstone would include a breakdown of necessary stone and ironstone needed to craft the item, not just list the brick and iron reinforcements)
