When you mouse over the icon of what the recipe will make, it should show you the stats/effects of the item. Let me know just what I'm making.
there doesn't need to be separate windows for recipie and if there has to be, you should be able to move the window around and use multiple windows having to close to make stuff is unnecessary
Oddly enough, it does. It just displays the tooltip behind the recipe window. It's the same thing to us, of course, but it does point towards this definitely being a bug, not a design decision. Tooltips could have saved me from making a plastic ring, which is apparently just the equivalent of throwing your resources down a deep pit.
+1, would be helpful. Though in a way adds a bit of danger and fun for found recipes, kinda like perma-death
@Greg72 - true, having multiple of those open would be helpful, I didn't think of that. My suggestion was that you can switch between the "tool types" in that window w/o losing your place in the other tool types. Or, alternatively, a hover info box that shows what's needed to make a specific item.
