Show in-inventory counts for orange status items in build menu pop-up

Post by terronium »

TL;DR
In build menu pop-ups show Orange status item count as <have_in_inventory>/<needed> x <Item Name>. e.g. 25/30 x Low Density Structure instead of 30 x Low Density Structure

What ?
For items in Orange status (raw materials available and can be can be auto queued for hand crafting) it doesn't show how many I have in inventory (25 in this case) unless i find the item in inventory and sum up the stacks. The suggestion is to show the counts as 25/30 x Low Density Structure so that its more apparent how many are missing (even if they can be hand crafted).

Showing it as 25/30 would immediately tell how many you can pick up if you have it available in the factory and you dont wanna handcraft it. Its specially useful if you are picking from a belt (pressing F) while hovering over the build button to keep build popup open to see the count increase in realtime.

Agreed. Simple change to fix a minor annoyance.
