I've got a mod with over 100 different items, and it gets a bit cluttery! Typing a portion of the item name helps, but what about when search isn't in use? Everything is in a jumbled mess. How can I make the game organize my items better? I've tried changing the order in the player.config.patch file, but that didn't do anything.
you can create your own crafting station where you can place your mod items and then sort different items into different categories on that new crafting table so you have like 20 items in each category at max. But true, some kind of unified modding recipe category system would be nice. Like the additional race slots mod just for crafting recipes. Instead of the few predetermined categories you could have autogenerated categories. so every recipe that is added to the wooden craftig table by mod with name xyz shows up in the crafting table and a new category is added automatically name xyz and there only recipes added by mod xyz show up. But I dont think a mod can currently identify in which folder .recipe files are, cause that would be a prerequisite.
I have it set so that furniture, clothing, and crafting stations are separated. I only recently figured that out too, and it did help with sorting to a degree. For example, clicking on the Armor icon in my crafting station shows my four masks, Mutant scientist chest, mscientist head, mscientist pants, blue bunny ears, dog ears, and so on. That order is messed up, especially with the chest showing before the head. Throws my OCD out of wack.
I noticed that too, a mod i installed lately added 3 items to a crafting station and they appear random. they are basically v1, 2 and 3 of the same item and it hurts that they arent in the correct order right one after the other. would be nice if the crfting window has a default alphabetical sorting at least :/ took a quick look, couldnt find any info on sorting, either i just havent found it or its inside a function that we cant check. on the other hand it should be possible to not only sort by the categories but by rarity too. It should be possible to add a custom rarity and add the custom rarity button to an existing crafting table so its possible to quick filter all items from onces own mod, incase one didnt create a new crafting table. example above: v1 is rarity uncommon, v2 is rare, v3 legendary. if i just display all items, v3 is somewhere under the first 10 items in the carfting table, v2 is almost at the bottom and v1 is somewhere in between. the sorting on the window it self has a little image showing ^level^, but those items dont have levels i believe. true armor appears to be somewhat sorted on the anvil or metalworkstation, but other than that theres no real sorting mechanism edit: nevermind, rarity seems hardcoded: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/adding-new-level-of-item-rarity.91476/
