basically, my idea for a potential QOL update is that the items can show how much money they make in a second so that you can more easily tell what would be the fastest way to grind out a ton of money. this can be done by hovering over the item in the recipes menu or via other ways. i'll leave the rest to the devs.
btw yes I have used a calculator to check money per second on items, it gets very very annoying after a while
