Hello,

Requested items aren't visible anywhere but on the ship. Is it possible to have a tooltip that shows the requested items in the menus shown on my MS Paint picture. I'd appreciate it and I'm hoping others would too.

I'm a vanilla/space age user so I won't be using any mods before anyone suggests it. I appreciate the devs are busy but one of my friends said this may be a quick addition for them since the Logistic System feature shows everything in the bottom right hand corner when you hover over a yellow Storage Chest for example. I'm not even gonna dispute that since I'm not dev smart. I do see a feature here that might prove very useful. Thank you for your consideration

Did anyone think this was a good QoL change?

Im struggling to understand your MS Paint thing.
Are you suggesting that hovering over a platform in the list on the top left should give you a tooltip showing requests (and maybe some other info), just like when you hover over a logistic chest?

This seems reasonable to me...

Personally though I think rocket silos would be the most useful place for such tooltips (e.g. let you view all of the requests of any overhead platforms).

Yeah basically... You said it better than me so thanks for clarifying

I feel that were clicking around far too much and juggling through screens and a tooltip showing this like the logistic chests would be sooo much better. I just wish the team could see this to get it in the game
