This is THE BIGGEST problem with Dyson Sphere Program

I find this absolutely game breakingly frustrating, 0 goats out of 10. At least I've had some fun streaming it despite all of these minor frustrations.

This game is so optimized and incredibly well balanced and well thought out. For this tiny thing to be your biggest issue is an accomplishment by the devs for sure. I've played over 400 hours and only encountered some visual bugs. Everything like this is just how the game works and I got used to within the first couple hours.

I thinks it’s so you can see what is needed before you craft and you don’t accidentally craft something you don’t want

[hitan]

Why craft manually? Just build yourself a mall

[sirmemes]

i genuinely forgot that there's a building hotbar i just craft shit and place them from my inventory

[TheBubblegumgirl]

Pretty much my only problem with this game. Once you automate stuff it's technically no longer a problem, but it's definitely annoying early game

[RC-Sev]

I mean, i kinda NEED to have that submenu show the recipe so i can calculator out my builds.

Bro, all the comments on this video have no understanding of game design. They do not understand why you're complaining about this, but I also think you don't quite understand the design choice. This feature was implemented like this to discourage any kind of mass manual production. But as someone who played Satisfactory before coming to DSP, I also struggled with this, and sometimes still do find it really annoying. Ignore the comments bro, some people here are both dumb and refusing to use their frontal lobes in order to show some empathy and put themselves in your shoes. It surprises me that an automation game can have such a toxic section of their community.

The downvotes on this are astounding, this calls for a thorough follow up! 👏

I never got to that follow up, but thank you all both for the detailed input and for the thoughts on both sides of the feature. It's been fairly engaging and enjoyable to see both experienced and inexperienced players giving input and thoughts on this whether it be direct about the feature, what I'm missing, or simply skipping to why it's something worth ignoring.

because the idea isn't to stand there waiting for it to finish but to prebuild what your about to use. As well as select your quantity

Honestly just play this late at night, some chill vibes and enjoy.

I love just sitting back and flipping my fractions to figure out jow to get my 6/s, how many machines, what configuration of lines. 30/s oil just doesnt even have the same vibe as grinding for 6/s super magnetic rings. Or Refine Reform feedback loop +6/s oil with a tank as a buffer into a +6/s Graphite X-ray Cracking. Using the +6/s hydrogen from Xray to fueld the -6/s hydrogen in the Reform.

What a wicked game. Love it!

Over three thousand hours in game and I have never wanted this option. So...idk.

[CarsonDare-yswf]

To be fair if you go to the crafting menu and click craft it will craft all the components for you so that’s cool and this also prevents misclicks and what not

[power]

It's really simple, after a while, you are developed enough to automate EVERYTHING and you should no longer be crafting anything by hand. You're welcome.

[kepler]

I agree it’s frustrating, but a slight upside is that it pushes you away from manual mass crafting. My first factorio play through I think I manually made every single belt lol! Way too annoying here

[Nesetalis]

>.> did you ever try to... right click? Maybe it's one of the mods I'm using... but... right click.

[mixout]

Don't use the replicator, trust me it's better to automate the item.

[Aguy]

Yeah there should most definitely be a setting to atleast enable it if not by default

[Greamzih]

I personally don't see a problem here. Even though you are not supposed to craft stuff manually, manual crafting is very convenient. One click crafting makes crafting one item easier and crafting 10+ items more tedious. Since you rarely need one item of something in this game, current system makes early game less of chore and once you've automated everything both are the same. This guy actually wants to make the game harder.

[guinnessx]

Click to make a quantity of what.... it can't be default 1 or 10... I don't want 10 orbital collector, and I also don't want 1 set of conveyors...

[mryellow]

No the worst part is that you cant bind mouse buttons.
