Calculate materials used on objects

[hapes]

It would be nice to know how much of a raw material a machine uses.

For instance, if you have an assembler making stitched plates, you know how much wire it's using, but you don't know how much of the original resource you used to make that wire. If it's all copper, it's one value, if you're using the iron wire recipe, it's a different value, if you're using the alternate iron ingot recipe, it's yet another value...etc. Have a tooltip or some other way of showing how much of the material furthest back in the chain is used for THIS factory and for ALL factories with this recipe. I say "furthest back in the chain" because you could have a container as your source of iron ingots, and you odn't know how those ingots were made. So you calculate the number of ingots.
