Make ingredients clickable in recipes UI

Quality of life UI & UX
Snark [ideas] · 3 years ago

I really like the UI that lists all the game recipes, but there's one simple improvement that would make it substantially more useful. Make it so that if I'm looking at a recipe, and I click on one of the ingredients (either inputs or outputs), then the UI immediately jumps to the recipe page for that ingredient.
For example: Let's say I'm looking at the recipes page for acid, and I see that one of the recipes on the page uses acid to produce glass mix. The icon for "glass mix" in the recipe should be clickable, and when I click on it, the recipes UI should take me to the recipes page for glass mix.
(And if I then wanted to get back to the acid page, I'd just click on the acid icon, since it appears in the recipes that produce glass mix.)
This would make navigating the recipes UI much easier, especially when I'm trying to understand production chains. As it is right now, it's cumbersome and tedious to connect the dots, with no easy way to go back to where I was.

You can use a right click to jump to the item recipe (including from assembler UI and such). It literally says so at the top of the window.
