Your Pack Version

2.1.1.0

Your Proposal

You go to make your rocket, you look at NEI for the pieces, you open the NASA workbench and begin putting them in - oh no, you forgot the lander. You go to get it out of your backpack - and all your rocket pieces fall on the floor.

Or you want to switch between NEI and the rocket workbench to see where the booster goes - but doing that drops all the pieces on the floor.

Your Goal

It would be nice if the NASA workbench worked like the various crafting tables etc we have, where the components "stay" in it even if the GUI is closed.

Alternatively, if possible, it would be nice to have "ghost" versions of the parts appear in the GUI similar to how NEI puts ghosts down if you use the + at a crafting table or forest worktable.

Your Vision

not spilling my rocket parts all over the place like a noob when I go looking for a missing part

@glowredman explains that there are complications given that each player sees his own schematics, and the recipes are not the same size.

Solving would therefore require making the NASA workbench implement enderchest like code to “lock” it to each player.

An alternative workaround may be to have it flow items back into player inventory. And shift click does put items into the correct slots which works around the “I don’t know where it goes” issue from NEI.
