I like the idea to automatically choose/queue research, I'll add a thought in that thread.

Another idea for implementing research ingredient signals, have a built-in dynamic group in the Constant Combinators that shows the requested research/science ingredients and have signals for the time and ...

Similar to how you can connect to an assembler and read it's requested ingredients, I would like to be able to see what Science Packs are required by the technology currently being researched. Maybe it could be read from a lab or perhaps output by the Selector Combinator.
