While it would be "nice" to include, it isn't critical and I don't feel it will provide that big of a benefit.

First, spheres and items can consist of numerous other "chains", and are basically a pyramid of stuff. That's why it's beneficial to list all the mats in one place. Units only follow a single chain and don't branch, so it's not too difficult to follow. It's not too difficult for the reader to click through the evolution chain and note what is needed to evolve the unit.

The technical reason why I don't think listing all evolution materials for a unit is that we manually calculate the "total base materials" for items. The unit pages are barely updated manually nowadays, thanks to Ben's auto-updater. We also need to consider where and how to disseminate that information without compromising or convoluting the unit's page. The work to include this extra information outweighs the benefit of having it.

Thank you for the suggestion! Just don't expect it to show up anytime soon.
