[2.0.15] higher tier modules in beacons: no visual feedback

[MaexxDesign]

Hello,

there is no visual feedback when beacons are equipped with higher tier modules.
My beacons are equipped with uncommon speed modules but you can't see it at the beacons unless you move the mouse over the beacon to see a tooltip.
It would improve the overview if you can see it immediately and don't have to move the mouse over the beacon.
Or at least as an option to turn it on or off.

Beacons don't allow for quality modules to be put in them.

It's not about the quality-modules per se.
My beacons are equipped with uncommon speed modules.
But there is no visual feedback as you can see from my screenshot in the first post.

EDIT:
I changed "quality modules" to "higher tier modules" for better understanding.

Ah, yes. Your image didn't load for me so I didn't catch that. True, some visual feedback on module quality might be useful.

Note that this could be fixed by adding all modules to alt-view overlays, instead of just the non-visible ones.

This is how it used to be, but beacons were huge amounts of visual clutter as a result. Maybe a setting? But there's already a billion settings...

There are not 1G settings in Factorio. Not even counting mod settings (and a bunch of mods)

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 2.1.

Given there is a broad list of exceptions when to draw the icons (module with unsupported art, module asking for it, module in a slot which is outside of provided graphics range) i decided that module with quality other than normal should be considered as yet another exception and made them to force draw alt icons.
