Allow deeper blueprint recursion

[NotRexButCaesar]

I keep finding myself hitting the recursion limit, and would like to at least have the option to increase it.

Like the title says. I know there is a way to get more hotbars, is there also a way to get more layers of blueprint?

[Koub] Merged both topics on the same subject. Will place the resulting thread into the right subforum once clarified whether gameplay help is needed, or it's a suggestion.
What do you call blueprint recursion limit ?

What do you call blueprint recursion limit ?

I mean the number of layers of books that you can have. So a book inside a book inside a book...

I think that both posts belong in their respective subforums. I asked in gameplay help for an unofficial way (editing game files or mod), and put the post in Ideas and suggestions because I would like an official way too

OK now I'm sure I understand . I'm pretty sure there is no straightforward or alternative way to change the depth limit of blueprint books inclusions.

[Koub] Moving this to Ideas and suggestions then.

[Edit] Also added a screenshot in your OP for maximum clarity.

And I’m relatively sure, that this will not gonna be changed. There are reasons for this limitation:
- GUI breaks (I read that in the FFF or some related post by a dev)
- humans cannot count more than 5 items per view and can’t think more than 7 categories.
- why by the hell would anybody need more than 4 layers? (sorry, not really serious argument )
