Item Crafting Organization Fix

Let me start by saying I understand this is in early beta. The only reason I say that is because I've seen a lot of post on the forums of people getting yelled at or educated on the fact "It's beta, stop complaining" or something a long those lines. I understand its a beta so I'm merely stating a opinion.

So far I love the game. Its great being that its in early beta. But I've noticed something that kind of bugs me about the game. The crafting organization is a bit off for me, and get's confusing when trying to craft something. An example being you can make furniture in the Meltwork Station as well as the Robotic Crafting Table. Another example is you make the mk upgrades starting in the Meltwork Station then the rest in the Robotic Crafting Table. The same goes with building material. There will be a handful in the Robotic Crafting table and some in the Meltwork Station. I just find it a bit unorganized and sometimes discouraging when I am wanting to create something. May I also add that armor is available for crafting in different locations. I'm not implying this game is bad, this is merely a opinion. Thing's I do like that they did was how the made the basic crafting (c hotkey) and upgrades that they allowed for it, that was a good thing to implement.

Does anyone else agree with my statement? I know its in beta and there is a potential possibility that they will update this in the near future. I'm hoping more people agrees and suggests this so that the developers may fix this. Overall, its a great game and I enjoy playing it. Would recommend it to any type of gamer!

 

I don't fully agree or disagree on that matter. I actually don't mind the locations of the recipes when there are recipes for certain things...><

what I would like to see is actual organization so I can find them. Like A-Z ordering. Which for me would be easier. that is really the only thing I would like to see in that regards. Well in the literal sense.

I would like to see more tab functionality in the sorting, as right now it is confusing. At the moment the tabs along the bottom don't exactly say what sort method they are. The pictures are in a way confusing since some fit in more than 2. 1 being all and the other usually what they are, but some actually end up in another as well. The search function still needs a bit of work, but is making ok progress....

 

perhaps someone here can tell me..... what category are metal bars?

 

Looks like just the all category... I keep having a habit thinking in terms of modding. almost forgot about that. 1 is the place made at and the other is the category; at least in modding. *sigh*

Which is one reason I think the tabs at the bottom need to be more sorted behavior for less confusing grouping...

 

I think item crafting organization needs a rework. And we need a loot-all mechanic that is not 'mining the container'.

 

I'll expand a little on this and say that shift+clicking an item to/from hotbar/bag should work for both sets of default bags. The second bag is nice that the dirt/rock/etc goes right to it, but if your first bag is full, other items you loot go right to that with no problem.

 

i just try to remember the name or part of the name of what i want to make and type it in. i never scroll except for the 1st time i make something if even then. i dont disagree with you at all, it needs work, but its no big issue for me. i have my stations side by side so if i type it in and get nothing i go to the other one and type it in and there it is. i usually only need to type 3-4 letters before it pops up

 

I agree the crafting menus could use some refinement,but with the search function,and the fact there are only 2 crafting stations in vanilla with really long lists I personally wouldn't consider it very high priority.Having said that,the 3D printer list can get kinda ridiculous after you get over 100 items scanned,it can be difficult to remember what every item is called.

 

Not to mention, at this point, it actually has to think a second or 2 when I first click on the printer option.

"There is so much more stuff to add to you, little over-priced printer-buddy!"
