It was argued above that both added and needed should be visible. I have no personal problems with dropping the added part though.

Can't it be both? Maybe something like this
sand (35865 grams used, 585 grams needed)


I think the point was not to loose the information about the total amount i.e. the size of the project.

The way materials are listed is going to take some getting used to. Not sure I like it yet.

The change to how "missing" tools are shown is nice. The grey text was often difficult for me to spot.

Well, if a majority is unhappy with the current wording we'll simply change it. :)

All you have to do is to make a consensus amoung your language group and present it to the language department for review, and it will be taken care of.

Just kidding. Feel free to give suggestions of better wordings in this thread (as I requested a while back) and we'll see if we can come up with something better, or more intuitive or something.

Personally I'm too tired to think today, so that's why I couldn't even type something I liked myself to start with. :)

Black text on dark green background is difficult to read... Couldn't it be some shade of red as long as the brightness value is sufficiently different not to screw up colorblind people?

Teal might be good... maybe too dark? #11 below was supposed to be teal, but it became much too light. Just played around a little to see what goes with this horrible dark green... ;)

The first grams of 1500 grams of 2500 grams is redundant. It would read much better if it was removed.

Yes.

I also think 'still need to be' as opposed to 'have yet to be' would sound better too.

I think it would look better if the whole amount came first, because it looks weird when it says 0 grams of x grams are yet to be added.

(whole_amount grams, of which missing_amount are yet to be added)

Can you please, please turn the numbers around? As this is very confusing.

Make sure you are viewing the page in UTF-8. (View / Character encoding). If that doesn't help what operating system are you on?
