📋 About This Mod

Workbench Filter Framework (WFF) allows workbench recipe filtering by category and switched in a non-intrusive way. Can also filter mod recipes and even add custom categories via easy-to-make patches.

There is a lite version of WFF designed for Creations here: Workbench Filter Framework - Creation (WFFC)

Currently supports: any Industrial Workbench

Support for pharma and cooking stations will be added if there are reasonable demands for this, right now there aren't enough mod recipes for them.

  • []Look at any industrial workbench, vanilla or mod variant

    []Press R to bring up the filter menu

    []Select a filter category

    • []Press E to open the filtered recipe list

      How it works

      • []On installing the framework, all base game component recipes are moved to "Components/Resources" category, and base game ammo crafting recipes are moved to "Ammo" category (it may be empty if you haven't completed the research project)

        []If patches are installed and targeted mods are present, mod-added recipes are moved to one of the available categories designated by the patch

        []Any leftover recipes are moved to "Miscs" category

        Supported Filter Categories

        • []WFF built-in: you'll have these available without any extra mods.

        • []Mod added: mods can add their own filter categories and have recipes assigned to it. They can also be used to enable recipes exclusive to mod-added workbenches on normal industrial workbenches for ease of access, without breaking the original workbenches.
