[MOD Request] View crafting recipes from ship

[user1679]

My modding skills are too rudimentary for this but I was looking for a way to see crafting recipes without having to dock.

In other games, if I want to craft a Robes of Hardened Feathers I can view my crafting list from my character
sheet to know which components I need to acquire. Then I'd go to an auctionhouse or start grinding drops.

In X4 it isn't that simple, we have to dock (if your AI can mange that), go to a crafting station and write down
the needed components (so we don't forget what 10 items we need). It would be nice if we could either see our known recipes
in our empire details or use the transporter terminal to read them. I don't mind going to a crafting table to actually make
the items but I should at least be able to have a portable reference book.

Even better, if we could add an actual crafting station to M or larger ships that would be fun too.

Actually this should be added in game and would be trivial.

When you choose "Redesign" you can see that screen already but only paintjobs are available with the other buttons greyed out.

Instead of those being greyed out it should be the crafting install or uninstall buttons that should be greyed out.

Great idea!

I didn't see any recipes there, only descriptions of the items.

What I'm suggesting is the ability to see the recipes you actually know and how many of the needed ingredients you have. This way if I only need 1 more "box of crazy metal" to build a "bigger box of crazy metal", I
can simply hunt for a trade for that specific item. Right now I have to dock just to read my recipes at a crafting station.

Like I said, for immersion purposes I'm fine with docking to craft the item but I'd love to be able to ask my ship's computer what recipes I know and ingredients I have.
