Lab Directory

Lab Directory is an in-game mini-wiki. It allows you to see extractions, siftings, smeltings, liquid mixings. It doesn't show crafting recipes or unconventional ways of obtaining items (animals, etc.).

For example, Lab Directory can tell you "what can Moonstone be processed into" or "from what can I get Salt". It only shows recipes for machinery that is placed nearby (if you have a Sifter nearby, it will show siftings, etc.).

When you start the game, you already have one Lab Directory in your shiplocker. There is also a usable Lab Directory at the Science Outpost.

Font colors of inputs/outputs
Results are color coded. Each category of lab equipment functions differently, so while you can't compare amounts between those, for a specific machine, Red means you'll get few outputs from processing the input(s), Orange a bit more, Yellow even more, and Dark Green are generally good results, and green is very good. (intermediate colors exist in some cases)

Inputs are color coded according to output amounts. When searching by input, its outputs are color coded according to output amounts.
