Description
This ESPless mod adds a very simple recipe tracking feature powered by ySI. Tracking a crafting recipe will:
-
[]Add an asterisk to the recipe name, so that it filters to the top of the crafting menu.
[
]Mark all the ingredients required to craft the recipe with a unique icon so that they sort higher and together in menus.The new icon allows you to easily identify and loot the ingredients you need for the recipes that you want to craft. You can track as many recipes as you like.
To toggle tracking for a recipe, highlight it in the crafting menu and press T on a keyboard or Y on a controller. These controls can be customised in the mod INI file.
Only recipe ingredients in the following ySI categories will be tracked:
- []MISC: Ammo Parts
[
]MISC: Crafting Parts[]MISC: Junk
[]AID: Alcohol
[]AID: Soda
[]AID: Water
[]AID: Jar
[]AID: Meat
[]AID: Plant
[]AID: Pre-War
Items in other categories will not be tracked as it generally doesn't make sense to do so. For example, it is not necessary to track Stimpaks for the Super Stimpak recipe, as this is self-evident and the Stimpak icon already sorts high in menus.
Compared to Shopping List, this mod allows for tracking unlimited recipes and is much simpler in its scripting.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and efficient: one keypress to track, no menu digging.
- Unlimited recipe tracking means you can mark everything you need without limits.
- ESPless design keeps your load order clean and avoids script overhead.
⚠️ Cons
- Small userbase (53 endorsements) — you're an early adopter, so expect fewer community guides.
- UI mods can clash with other interface overhauls — test for conflicts.
For crafters who hate alt-tabbing to check recipes and want a visual reminder while looting. Perfect for completionists who track multiple end-game gear sets. Skip if you rarely craft or prefer a more traditional recipe journal.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, you can drop it into your Data folder or use a mod manager — either works, but a manager makes removal easier.
- Bind the tracking key to something you can hit mid-combat, like a side mouse button, so you can mark recipes on the fly.
- If you use other UI mods, test this one early to catch conflicts before your save gets complex.
