Why is my favorites "tab" filled up?

[Nezerius]

You know that you can actually select favorites? And when the window those favorites are shown in is filled with the history of what you've done, how easy is it (with a bad memory) to chose the wrong item? Think before you comment, and especially when your comment is as negative as this!

Yes, I do know that it's possible to actually select favourites, that's kind of the point of the system.
I also know that these favourites are all tagged with a red pin, causing them to stick to the top of the list, and to not be pushed off by any recently crafted items. Which has already been stated by the few posts above this one, by now.

Yes, but I do not understand what history has to do in favorites, they should be in their own window, not in a window that's labeled favorites. That's what I said, so why are you arguing? Isn't it obvious? You label the window according to what's in it, and I seriously dislike inconsistency.

There's nothing inconsistent about it. It's a favourites menu that also happens to show history and always has this function. The word you're looking for is incongruity.

P.S. If you want to complain about a favourites system in the game that actually needs work, take a look at the Teleport menu. Destinations you mark as discounted teleports appear in the favourites tab, destinations you pin as favourite destinations appear in the History tab, you cannot sort pinned destinations aside from manually un-pinning them and then re-pinning them in the reverse order you want them to appear in the list, and making use of the world visit system just straight up deletes any residential destination pins that you have.

I have the same issue with the tab. I'm getting into crafting, but the fact that recent recipes are automatically shoved in the "Favorite" tab just adds a lot of clutter for little reason, imo. It's strange to me that the "Favorites" tab is in its own "Extras" category alone, when it would benefit a lot from having a "Recent" tab under it and removing all this visual clutter from the "Favorites"
