So one of the things that keeps happening (at least to me) is I'll look up the recipe for a given machine (FTB ModPack). That machine has components that also need to be crafted in order to build that initial machine. So when I go to my chest to pull out all the resources, I'm always having to relookup the recipe for the initial piece as well as the different components.
What'd be super swell is if I could build a checklist where I can put a list of all the resources I need in order to craft the machine as well as all the components, and have it up on the screen while I run around from chest to chest to pull the resources I need, and when I have the required items from the checklist, have it cross itself off that list.
just use a book and quill, but if your in tekkit or something, too bad
You cannot have the book and quill open at the same time you're going through your chests. It also requires that you have a book and quill and write everything down. Hence the request for a mod that builds a checklist as I pick recipes I wish to build.
Sure I could write the stuff down now (which I do) but it's a waste of paper... This is the place to request mods, right?
Book and quills have 50 pages, so its not that much of a waste of paper, and you can keep records.
Although keeping records is pointless, it would be cool.
Soo just to get this straight, are you looking for something like recipe mode in TMI or more like a *text* editor that you can use while browsing through chests?
So to build one of the advanced machines from FTB, it usually requires a great deal of resources and other crafted items. So you're constantly having to go into NEI and look up recipes to the basic components, then relookup recipes for the more advanced components, you have to run around and collect the resources, and you're constantly having to look up ingrediants, then look in a chest, then look up recipes, back and for, back and forth ad nauseum.
So my idea would be something that works alongside NEI. I look up a machine, and click a button or keystroke or something and have a generated ingrediant list, that not only holds the resources required for the specific item I clicked, but any crafted resources that specific machine required. And it'd be a checklist I can open at any time or even keep open the whole time while I maove around from chest to chest to collect the resources. And as I collect a specific resource, it'd get checked off the list.
So take the Mass Fabricator from IndustrialCraft. If you look it up on the wiki () you'll see it gives you a list of the actual raw resources you'll need to build this. Not just the individual components for the fabricator itself, but also the resources to make the components needed for the fabricator. As well as instructions to produce them all, and the resultant fabricator. Get this for ALL recipes in the FTB modpack, and provide a GUI that'll let me open it whenever I want to look at it to see the ingrediant list and step by step instructions, that also works as a checklist for when I accomplish a given step, or collect a resource.
In it's most basic term, and actual and usable recipe book in the game itself. Some way more usable than looking up a single recipe in NEI.
BTW, when I mentioned a waste of paper, I was not referring to books in the game, I mean if I kept keeping hand written ingrediant lists.
