Highlight recipe ingredient inside inventory

Post by Harkonnen »

I.e. when hovering over an input slot of an assembler, highlight that in the inventory just like it works for manual crafting GUI. It gets especially tedious during "Lazy bastard" achievement when your inventory is clogged with all kind of stuff for temporary manual crafting via temporary assembler.

I.e. make this situation

For quicker manual filling of machines, you can press the Inventory Transfer bind (Control + Left-click by default) on an empty slot of your inventory, which fills in the recipe with items from your inventory due to only those items being accepted in the fixed slots.
