[2.1] Add "Mining fluid for" to factoriopedia

[juliawtapp]

Hello,

Lately I have been playing 2.1 and therefore using the factoriopedia instead of recipe book.

The factoriopedia has nearly all the features recipe book had, but there is one feature I have gotten used to and would like to see implemented in the factoriopedia, too.

Using recipe book, a fluid that is used for mining (in this case sulfuric acid) has a section that indicates what ores it is used for mining:

However, factoriopedia has no such feature:

I realize this feature is basically useless in base game, as there is only one mining fluid for one ore, but it would be very useful to have this information when playing with mods that add many fluids and many ores that require them as mining fluids, such as the Pyanodon's mod suite (my use case).

Thanks,
Julia

It does list uranium ore in the "used in" section. And the uranium ore page makes it clear that it is used in the mining of the ore.

This is true and for base game / space age factorio that's no problem; the issue arises when playing with mods that add many ores and mining fluids, where the list ends up looking like this;

If you hover over all the "used in" icons you will eventually find that it's a mining fluid for several things, but it's not very readable.

If anything I would suggest since I am asking more for the sake of modded gameplay than base game factorio that it could be a setting somewhere or something.
