If I clicked on grayed out icon, craft the item

Post by Jobeo »

Hello, love the game. Here is my suggestion.

On the toolbar, if I have run out of an item in one of my saved locations it will be grayed out. If I click on it, it should craft the item.

I think this would be very useful.

If you go by the in game terminology, the research tech calls it a tool belt.

Indeed, when you go to the wiki it's the other way around....

The wiki should probably be updated to match the game, but it's kinda out of date in a number of areas anyway...

As for the idea, how about another modifier key? (Alt?) The idea being that it enables you to queue any item already on the tool belt, whether it is out of stock or not. Don't need to mark slots for specific items then either.

This is no question. The point is, the wiki is from players for players and my time is limited. If you find it outdated you're really welcome to change it. ;)
