Engineers engineers and synthesis material usage information

[CMDR Triklops]

when now mining yields so many resources, i find the synthesis menu quite appealing and fun, because due to mining i am now able to use the simplest refill option for my cannons, which is quite cool

what i am missing though is the information for what recipes certain materials are used, the information is just for internal synthesis (which gets extended hopefully) but engineers are just listed as "this is used by an engineer" which is a bit disappointing considering the vast (far too high ) amount of different materials

for now i am happy to no longer think of cannon ammo anymore with my huge mining anaconda

Thx OP for opening this thread. I came here to find the same infos.

I am hoping for someone to make a tool to find out what engeneer could do with a special commodity. There are so many i saw as mission rewards but not one of the two i have the blueprints pinned for. Only way for me now seems to be to go back to the engeneers and use Pen and Paper. Other suggestions are more than welcome!

and, pinning only one recipe is somehow very bad, because one has to open the web browser and look for commodities that are required, having access to all engineer recipes after visiting them would be fine,

and furthermore, why not list the engineer upgrades as a special section in the synthesis section marking 1,2,3,4,5 knobs for each (pinned/known) modification

it is just so that i am looking at it and think it is exactly what i expected but it is not there ;(
