Above the crafting queue it should have a countdown of the time for the queued items.

Yes, that would be nice. It doesn't even have to be super precise (although I can't immediately figure out why it'd be easier to code a less-than-ultra-precise feature than one that is), just give a rough indicator in minutes and seconds, or even minutes and fractions-of-minutes. Becaues I still, after lots of playing, often find myself building a long-ass crafting queue that takes forever and forever to finish, but without me havnig an intuitive clue as to how long that forever actually is.

We had this subject many times now. I currently think the current view is ok, but we should be able to switch to a second view, which shows a timeline in logarithmic scale:

Code: Select all

NOW ----------- 1 sec -------- 10 secs ----- 1 min ---- 2 min ----- 5 mins ----- endless
                     ^     ^   ^                                  ^      
                        inserters                          20 refineries
