Just got the game, and I can't seem to read crafting recipes. I'm told that I have to right-click a recipe, which will bring up a drop-down menu to learn it, but it doesn't do that. Doing a mouseover tells me to hold Alt to get details, but all that does it tell me to read it to learn it. But there's no apparent way to read it - double click, right click, left click, and praying to cthulhu don't work. Is this a bug, or am I just not smart enough to figure it out (or is it just a matter of immature game design this early in the process)?
edit: right-click works now that I've restarted the game
Did you happen to be traveling while trying to read it? Because I couldn't bring up the right-click menu when traveling, only when I'm at the city or some other actual location. The crafting recipes should definitely be readable and add the item in your crafting menu. If you still can't get the right-click context menu while NOT traveling, that does sound strange indeed.
