Bulk inserter missing "consumed by" section (i.e. Stack inserters)

Post by worph »

If you go to the wikipage for bulk inserters, you will notice it has no "consumed by" section in the bottom right.
For other items it shows recipes that item is part of.
The bulk inserter is part of the stack inserters recipe, so the section should exist and list stack inserters in it.

I also just checked other DLC items, such as all three variants for turbo belt, sure enough, same thing. Espress belts don't display they are consumed by turbo belts.
Electric mining drills don't say are are consumed by big mining drills.
Refined conrete does not say it's consumed by either Foundries or EM-plants.

It seems this might be intentional.
But then maybe add an expandable section for DLC items explicitly, below the other consumed by section or just on its own, where applicable:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Consumed by
[vanilla items]
---------------------------------------------------------------
:space-age: Consumed by [▼] (closed by default)
[DLC items]
---------------------------------------------------------------

In the info pane, select "space age mod" (directly below the image), and the bulk inserter will show up as expected.
