o7 CMDRs,
I've put together a cheat sheet for cross-referencing engineering items you find to the upgrades/modifications that can be made from them. I did this because my inner-hoarder likes to know why I am collecting the different things I pick up.
A few points:

I've put together a cheat sheet for cross-referencing engineering items you find to the upgrades/modifications that can be made from them. I did this because my inner-hoarder likes to know why I am collecting the different things I pick up.
A few points:
- This is taken from https://inara.cz so if there are mistakes there, they will propagate through to this;
- On Inara, "Improved hip fire accuracy" and "Higher Accuracy" are synonymous; in this list, the term "Higher Accuracy" is used;
- The links in the table take you directly to their Inara counterparts; links in the Usage column aren't always present since they are applicable to several suit or weapon types; in which case, the link in the first column is probably better to select, go to Inara and navigate to the upgrade you're interested in;
- Furthermore there might be mistakes I have made in compiling this; if there is, please point out the error and reply to this thread with @Comandante so I get a notification; I'll update it as soon as I have time if this is the case;
- The 'Engineer Referral' entry in the Usage column means that that is the engineer that will refer you, and now also includes information on who they will refer you to;
- This is based off @Factabulous spread sheet that can be found here: original spread sheet - thanks @Factabulous
Fixes/Updates:
- 06/07/2021: Fixed Circuit Board entry; was incorrectly reporting suit modifications for Audio Masking and Stowed Reloading whereas these are weapon mods, not suit mods;
- 13/07/2021: Updated Extraction Yield Data row; was empty, now contains correct entry for kinetic mod Higher Accuracy;
- 31/07/2021: Added Commander's Toolbox (underneath table, below);
- 12/08/2021: Incorrect entries: removed Kinetic: Higher Accuracy for Electromagnet; removed Plasma, Kinetic: Higher Accuracy for Weapon Component;

I would also recommend EDEngineer, the inventory tracking and 'shopping list' for mats and data has really taken the sting out of keeping track of what is needed for mods and upgrades.
