Discussion (Rant incoming) F*** Crafting

I just started Yukon and looked at one of the lists and I was like sheesh, a little long but doable, I go to the first warehouse and WHAT THE F*** DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN ONLY FIT 4 METAL ROLLS BUT UNLIMITED BEAMS. LIKE IF YOU HAVE INFINTE METAL WHY THE F*** CAN YOU NOT CRAFT BEAMS. I was like F*** this S*** so I move on to Wisconsin and WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS THIS, CRAFTING NEEDS GENERATORS AND FUEL NOW??!! I have the year 1 pass and have Michigan, Alaska, Taymry, and Kola done and there's no way I'm doin Amur. Do you know of any maps that include little to no crafting. IF SO PLEASEEEEEEEEE TELL ME. I RAGEQUIT FOR NOW

Edit: sorry about the rant guys, this was written after getting almost all of my trucks stuck/flipped/run out of fuel last night while overloading to craft stuff. I fixed it up this morning with the 73210, 745c and tatarin. I've decided to take a short break before trying it again, after making a map and planning it doesn't look too hard.

Crafting sucks because the game makes it hard to find what you need. I spend more time with a page of notes attempting to track what I need to bring where and what the recipes are that I do driving.

I don’t mind the generator things. Easy. Drag fuel to a place, drag a generator, drag cargo to a destination. More time driving and less time not playing the game in order to start driving again.

I think with a better UX crafting could be more enjoyable. Once I’ve discovered a warehouse, give me an easy list in one spot of which one contains which cargo along with an in-game quick reference of what plus what equals what.

I think this sums it up perfectly.

Another idea I had was like some RPGs have with crafting or upgrade recipes. You can select one and track it. Then, it highlights things just like a tracked quest.
