Unhide Level 2 Crafting, add Prototype Station Requirement Icons and bring back Prototype Lightbulb Icon!


Recommended Posts

One of the things that helped with the old crafting tab was knowing when you can prototype something from a tab and the items that you could prototype all being highlighted with a lighbulb icon, which would replace the lock icon. Either you have forgotten to implement this or have ditched it for all the wrong reasons when you consider prototyping as a mechanic.

It would be of great help if there was a mini icon for the crafting station at a bottom corner of a crafting item until it is prototyped (or always there if it always requires you be near the station to craft something every time instead of being something you can prototype once and then craft away from the station from there on out).

I should also point out that in the old crafting menu, it has been annoying when I go to say science machine or alchemy engine to craft something and then the Level 2 crafting items that require alchemy engine to craft suddenly pop into view out of nowhere when they weren't there before. Why do you only show the Alchemy Engine crafting recipes only when you are already near a Science Machine instead of indicating that to the player at all times? And it is still the case! I do not see the alchemy engine recipes until I stand next to a science machine, same deal with Prestihatitator and Shadow Manipulator crafting recipes!

If you really want everyone, including new players to be able to find stuff and be able to remember and recognize what is what, what requires what and where it's located please implement these 3 changes as soon as possible, I can't emphasize enough how important this is!

Here is an example of how it would all look like (not entirely accurate to the items shown, please don't point out that some of these crafting recipes don't require Alchemy Engine to prototype), you should be able to tell by the examples, take a note especially of the compass as it is shown as both something you can prototype and the machine you need to prototype it. Bird trap seeing as it has already been prototyped is no longer locked and does not show the required station icon either.
