Can I see recipes I have all the requirements to craft? (lemmy.ml)

In my first world, as a new player, it's very, very hard to find recipes that use the few, common items I have. The crafting list is cluttered by more advanced items. I know it's not yet the full list as some recipes have to be learned, but it still takes checking a lot of recipes to find one I can make.

Can it only show items I can make right now? Like the "Show craftable" recipe book button in Minecraft, if I'm allowed to compare this game to Minecraft.

There could also be an option to see recipes I only lack 1 (or N) items for, so I can then have the goal to seek out the missing items.

Are you playing the stable build? I don't remember if it was like this on 0.F and I haven't tried experimental yet, but on 0.G the crafting list is sorted with craftable recipes at the top in white and the ones with missing requirements at the bottom in grey.

That's assuming you're talking about the actual crafting menu (& key). If you're instead talking about the construction menu (* key), it doesn't sort but you can hide the unavailable options with the ; key.

That is the case. Looks like I was confused. Thanks for the patience.

How hard would it be to implement a system that shows what you can craft, except you are missing a tool? Like say I want to make coffee, and I have water, and coffee powder, but no hotplate. Would a alt color for the recipe be hard to add for something like that? Similar to when an ingredient is already in use, like a plastic bottle
