Nutrient processor is still messy to use

[Ketec]

You have to place stuff in there from inventory, which will completely mess up all organization.

The ingredient storage in the Freighter one seemingly can't be used at all? You have to manually take stuff out.
You also can't place stuff into it from storage units and ingredient storage can also only be filled from inventory (not even ship).
Can't it just be a storage container with perhaps unique name or something?

We have the food upgrade thingy, but i still feel it being useless considering how convoluted and messy cooking is right now.

This.

Nutrient processor slots have half the capacity of slots in the exosuit & starship cargo, and one quarter of freighter & storage container slots. I suppose that's intentional for gameplay purposes because there is no obvious program efficiency reason for it (100 extra bits is not going to kill the game), nor are there nearly enough slots even for all the raw ingredients, so if you are experimenting with recipes you keep having to shuffle across from storage, making the grind even grindier.

That is a general issue with transfer/trade interface, not specific for a nutrient processor. They are all not based on your inventory UI, nor they respect your inventory sorting.
