Recipe UI Inconsistent

[EinsteinV]

The information of the recipes pop-ups is very useful. However, the information that is shown differs per recipe or even where the pop-up is displayed.

Note, I'm playing with Nullius mod (if that matters, it shouldn't matter in my opinion).

For example:
- In the Factoriopedia, hovering items on the left mostly shows (some of the) basic info about the recipe. As it should be. In some cases the popup shows much more, a full pop-up with "Ingredients", "Products" and "Made in". Inconsistent, should only show basic info on-hover, full info is displayed on the right, when you click the recipe.

This info is also NOT consistent with hovering items in the "Character" menu from the Engineer (I expect it to show the same info), it only always shows the short/brief info.

- Opening a crafting machine (assembler, chem plant, etc.), hovering the recipe, it does not always display the "Products" category. It does when multiple products are produced. It sometimes shows when only 1 item is created and sometimes it does show the category.

For the Factoriopedia, when only one type (different items) is produced, it shows the amount at the top (as title); when multiple types are produced, the title suddenly only shows the recipe name, and a "Products" category is displayed. Sometimes it is not even shown anywhere how much of a certain item a recipe produces.

It is inconsistent, I would like it to always display the "Products" category, so I know where to look and what the recipe produces. And let the Factoriopedia title always be the recipe name (without amount).

- Same as previous bullet point, sometimes it shows the "Total raw" statistic, sometimes it doesn't. This category is very useful if you need to (hand)craft an item, but some ingredient is missing. I would like it to always display this information as well. Again, it is inconsistent (and if it doesn't display, it is very hard to track down the missing ingredient).

- Same as previous bullet point, sometimes it also displays the "Made in" when I hover a recipe from a crafting machine. Since I'm already in a crafting machine I do not need this info here. This info should probably only be in the Factoriopedia and hovering the "Crafting" menu from the Engineer.

Please review all info pop-ups and make them make sense. Independant if a mod was used or not, some things / info has to be forced by the game. Depending on the recipe, I have to find the info I need at different locations in the UI, this is very confusing.

Thank you for the information,
Would you kindly attach some screenshots of the specific modded situations where it is having the problems? It will make it much easier to understand the context of the problem

I just edited my post with a bunch of screenshots, I hope this makes it more clear? Sorry for the long post

Can you please post screenshots from the latest experimental? I know at least “5x *recipe name*” no longer exists in 2.1.

Not sure how I can best compare this one-to-one, the mods (Nullius and Tricky Old Nick) are not compatible with version 2.1 of the game.
