Factorio Forums

I’d like to suggest simplifying the Factoriopedia by displaying only items, not recipes, in the main menu. For example, instead of showing crude oil alongside basic oil processing, advanced oil processing, and fill crude oil barrel, it would only display crude oil. Clicking on it would still reveal the recipes, but the menu itself would be much less cluttered. This concept could also be applied to the inventory, improving its usability by removing recipes that can only be crafted by machines, thereby providing a clearer overview.

Additionally, I propose adding an option (e.g., a checkbox) for the Factoriopedia to display only content that has already been researched. This would be particularly useful with mods, allowing players to maintain an organized overview without being overwhelmed by all items and recipes at the beginning.
