TL;DR

A crafting tab filled with your blueprints

What ?

If you have a blueprint for a quick early game turret setup, you could go to this tab and choose to craft the blueprint(automatically queueing the crafting of each item in the blueprint). This would allow for a smoother assembly of resources early on.

Have you tried to hit 'B' ?

Pretty sure they're asking for automated handcrafting of all the items needed for a blueprint, not just a place to store the blueprint itself.

Gonna say this isn't likely to happen, as any idea that involves making handcrafting things easier generally get a no from the devs (like being able to manage the crafting queue), as you should be using buildings to do your crafting for you.

Ooohhh I see. It would never come to my mind to handcraft tens of turrets, walls, ... I would probably handcraft 5-6 turrets extremely early on, in case of unexpected biter visit, but after that, automation rules.

Dito. I think this goes against the basic idea of building the parts of a factory by the factory itself. The next wish is then again “please make crafting faster...”

What I see and which makes sense is eventually that I can choose an item or ghost (with pipette) and then craft that. That makes sense, if only some items are missing.
