Crafting without accounting punishment
Crafting should answer three questions: what will I get, why is it locked, and when will it finish?
— Recipes remain visible while locked and state the exact reason: resources, station, skill, power, worker, or unlock.
— The player queues production runs and immediately sees the total output and time.
Which crafting lock is worse: one that is unclear or one that appears unexpectedly?
