Extra confirmation of item and recipe selection is driving us mad.

Extra confirmation of item and recipe selection is driving us mad. It started with the quality research, and now we have to do two extra clicks to choose a recipe, which is constantly driving me mad.

How can we disable this? It should be an "opt-in" button, not the default to always select normal quality when choosing recipes.

Could shut off the quality mod i suppose.

Is the issue that you are selecting the recipe for several machines all at once and doing it one at a time? Cause you could set the first one and then copy paste on your other machine to bypass that issue.

I heard you can double-click but I haven't had time to play and don't know.

Jeah double click works, but it is stilla click more then before and kinda annoying. Especially in the beginning when you don't do much with quality either way.

Exactly.

Rather than just complaining about it, why not provide feedback on a better alternative that is better for everyone? You must have something in mind, right?

Like for example where would this “opt-in button” go? In the recipe window? In the game settings? Would it be defaulted on or off? What would it be called? Etc.

It could be that :
If you click on item, it's no quality by default.
If you first tick the quality (where quality setting is currently) then you can click item and specify uncommon, rare etc.

Just a faster default way of doing it. I'm not infuriated by the current setting and already getting used to it.

Maybe quality choice could be placed in the assembling machine's main window. 1st step would be selecting the product like in the 1.x version und then the 2nd step could be the quality setting.

Sounds to me like more reasons not to like the quality mechanic.

+1
Is there a way to switch it off somehow?

This is a good idea IMO. That extra selection for quality then becomes optional and if nothing is clicked the default non-quality one is assumed.

However to prevent rework of blueprints and other related systems, this should be a GUI only difference for when manually selecting a recipie, but in the backend it all stays the same that way blueprints and other sub components are not impacted.

There's a hotkey for it.

Rather than click on the confirm button, mouse over it -- the tool tip should show you what the button is. (or look in the key bindings)

The default is 'e', unless my install is weird.

I just select recipe and close the window, works that way too. Haven't gotten too far into game to care what quality is yet, maybe i am missing something.
