Highlight missing component

Post by GPFault »

When you see that a factory doesn't work (it is difficult without the Bottleneck mod) usually you want to find what component is required to start a production. To do that you have to move mouse over production component to see the recipe popup. But the same information is already on screen so if missing component would be somehow highlighted it would save a lot of time for players (for me at least).

I'd rather have the slot background color change, but otherwise yea, good idea.

Yes, great idea. I would also love to see statistics for each ingredient at which rate it arrived at that assembly machine.
