Customizable technology effect

[Mooncat]

Request: a new technology effect type that allows customizable tooltip. It would be better if the icon can also be customized. No need to have actual effect to the gameplay.
Its format can be:

Code: Select all

effects =
{
    {
        type = "custom-effect",
        description = {"locale.perfection-bonus", 100},
        icon = "__core__/graphics/bonus-icon.png"
    }
}

So it allows something like this:

It would be useful for mods like my Long Reach Research.

(I have tried to achieve this with "give-item", but no luck. It turns out to be this bug report: Technology give-item with 0 count freezes the game and crash)

This would be really useful for techs that are used purely to trigger updates in mod internal state rather than giving new recipies etc.
