It would be great if there were a mod that tells me everything I need to know to make a thing, and which bench(es) to make it at. Something that is available at the start of the game that accumulates knowledge as the character learns new recipes. Thingy recipe 10 lumber lumber: 10 lumber from 2 wood at hand-crafted station wood: 2 wood from chopping down trees at Matter Manipulator The bottom/deepest level would be when it gets down to working with the matter manipulator. Ideally it would have a search box that could find anything in the currently loaded mod set. If it hasn't been learned yet, it would display a recipe that says "this recipe hasn't yet been learned." Which is different from no such thing exists/error/etc
I think this is a very good idea, feasible and relatively simple. I can't undertake it now due to some RL issues, but will gladly give some guidance to anyone who would choose to do this, or I'll take it when I'm again able to devote time to side interests.
If you provide the guidance, I can give it a try. Our ideas of relatively simple may not be the same though. lol.
