Map overlays/filters

[goku90504]

when a factory starts to get big or it's spread out over wide terrain it becomes easy to forget where some things are it'd be nice to be able to bring up the map and ask it to show me where this or that is

Example once you start getting a lot of your chests into the bot network it'd be nice to find where I might have some older wood / iron / steel chests that I might want to replace/empty/destroy or if I forget where this or that item is constructed or where some forest is if I need some wood and most of the nearby forests have been clear cut already

You can make "signs" on the map by putting down a train stop and naming it.
I would like some sort of sign that allows us to label the map and not the current workaround of a train stop.
