One thing I would like to see, is a special color in the hover-box for the raw material you will deplete FIRST, if you crafted as many of an item as you can.

For example, if I want to make Solder (4:1 plates:resin), and I have 25 plates and 12 resin, I can make 6 units of Solder, because I will end up with 1 plate and 6 resin left over. I would like Solder Plates to be highlighted somehow (yellow?) in that case, because they will end up being the limiting factor in crafting more of them.

I don't mean that it should be highlighted if I don't have enough; obviously the game already does this with the red highlight. I want to know BEFORE I start crafting, what I will run out of first.

I want this!

For reference:
Cannot craft: Can craft exactly 1: Expected solution: Orange/Blue underline in raw resources. If I can craft N items, orange highlights all resources I would need to craft N+1 items.

Mockup:
Alternatively, there could be a small icon. A number over each resource showing how many I can craft ignoring other requirements would be too distracting.
