🔧 Quad's Crafting Filters

Recipe filter chips above the crafting list: pick a type, a tier or what you can make now, at every crafting station.

✨ Features

What is in it

• At the workbench, forge, cauldron and the other stations, two rows of chips sit above the recipe list. The first row is the type of thing (weapons, armor, tools, ammo, food, potions), with All and Can craft; the second is how far into the game it is (wood and flint, bronze, iron, silver, black metal, Mistlands, Ashlands).
• Each chip shows how many recipes it has, given what the other row has chosen. Click a chip to pick it, click it again to clear it. All clears everything.
• Only what that station makes shows, and each station remembers its own choice while the game runs.
• The list below is the game's own, narrowed: crafting, upgrading and the Upgrade tab are unchanged.

The only setting is Enabled.

🧩 Other mods

Known clashes: none known.

It narrows the game's own recipe list in place (it never swaps the list for another), so other mods that change the list see the same one.

👥 Multiplayer

Who needs it: Only the players who want it.

Nothing is shared: it only changes your own screen.

🌍 Languages

English, Русский (Russian), Deutsch (German), 简体中文 (Chinese), Português do Brasil (Portuguese), Español (Spanish), Français (French), Polski (Polish), Türkçe (Turkish). It follows the game's own language setting.

The translations were made with AI, so a few words may be off. To correct one, or to add your language, put a file in BepInEx/config/translations/com.quad.bettercraftingstations/ named after the game's name for the language (German.json, Italian.json, Japanese.json...) with only the lines you change, copied from English.json (it wins over the built-in one). Or tell us the better words and we'll put them in for everyone.

⚙️ Settings

In BepInEx/config/com.quad.bettercraftingstations.cfg, made the first time the game runs with the mod. r2modman and Thunderstore Mod Manager edit it under Config editor.

📜 Recent changes

• 0.2.1 Fixed: the filter chips didn't show when you opened a crafting station, only after switching between Craft and Upgrade. Each chip is now as wide as its words, so none is cut short ("Ammo", and the longer words of other languages).
• 0.2.0 Now in your language: English, Russian, German, Chinese (Simplified), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, French, Polish and Turkish, following the game's own Language setting. The game's own names are used for its things (items, creatures, lands, stations). The translations were made with AI: to correct a line, or add a language, put a file in BepInEx/config/translations/com.quad.bettercraftingstations/ named after the game's name for the language (German.json...) with only the lines you change, copied from translations/English.json on GitHub. The filter chips use the game's own names for the tiers (Bronze, Iron, Black metal...).
• 0.1.3 A clearer page: what it does, who needs it in multiplayer, how it gets on with other mods, and where to report a bug. The game itself is unchanged.

Every change is on the Changelog tab.
