[Suggestion] "Auto-expand chain to raw materials" button next to Sync Chain

Levente22 · 8 hours ago

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you for this fantastic mod!

I have a quality-of-life feature request regarding the Production Calculator. Currently, when planning complex items (like Household Goods / washing machines), we have to manually add each sub-recipe step by step, configure the best available machines, and then hit "Sync Chain" to balance the inputs and outputs.

Could you please consider adding a button (for example: "Auto-expand chain" or "Expand to Raw Materials") right next to the "Sync Chain" button?

How it could work:

  1. You select the final target product (e.g., Household Goods) and set the desired output rate.

  2. Clicking the new button would automatically populate the entire production tree all the way down to base/raw materials (ores, water, crude oil, etc.).

  3. By default, it could automatically assign the highest-tier/best machines and default recipes for all sub-components.

  4. It would automatically calculate and sync the required ratios for the whole chain.

This would save a ton of tedious manual recipe selection and syncing for deep production trees.

Thank you for your hard work and consideration!
