📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 138 endorsements and over 5.6k downloads.
- Saves time by eliminating the need to alt-tab to external calculators.
- Integrates directly into the game UI for seamless crafting.
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other UI overhaul mods that alter the alchemy menu.
- Requires a mod manager for proper installation, which might be a hurdle for beginners.
