    It gets tiresome having to scroll through long list of recipes to find the one I want. I would like to filter recipes by those I have all components for. I.E. the ones I can actually make right now.

    It would also be nice if SOTA allowed you to search for a craft-able item or for an ingredient.
    As an example, if I searched for"chaos pollen", it would show me all the recipes in which chaos pollen is used.

    When I was new and just looking to raise my crafting skills, I didn't really care what I made. I wasn't looking to make anything in particular. I would just scroll until I found something I could at least make double digits of.

    Filtering the recipes you can actually craft would be good for everyone.
    If you don't care what's being crafted, you use it. If you know what you're crafting, you use it too!
    I can't figure a situation in which the player wants to use the crafting station to see recipes he's not crafting. There's the Recipe Book for that.

    Feature: allow filter for showing only recipes possible with held materials

    As a player, I would like to be able to:

    • When crafting, but especially when butchering, smelting, tanning, textiles, and milling, be able to filter to only show recipes which are possible with currently held materials. This is because as the number of known recipes increases (and the number can be quite high) it becomes more difficult to sort, and while I can type in the name in the search, that only lets me do it one at a time rather than having a list of "ready" recipes to choose from.
    • This would help me spend less time in menus and more time playing.
    edit: sorry didn't realize this was a duplicate. still, sounds like i'm not alone here....

    without knowing the code, i would assume this could be accomplished with a linq style query when deciding what to load in the initial recipe screen. presumably it is testing for whether the player knows it already. to that gets added a linq predicate that queries the player inventory. a little bit of loading overhead, maybe a brief greying out of the display the way zone vendor listings works, though it seems unlikely to be particularly heavy on the lifting as long as it is not being done in a looping fashion, that would be problematic
