Option to hide infinite research

Post by judos »

When having many mods installed i'd like to have a checkbox to temporarily hide infinite research. Right now mostly because i want to see just new research from a planet i just started but almost don't find the research if there's already a lot of infinite research from other planets and the base game.

I could also imagine them being separated into an additional group, between available and unavailable researches.


(unresearched, NON-INFINITE, available:)
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □

---------------
(unresearched, INFINITE, available:)
□ □ □ □ □ □

---------------
(unresearched, unavailable:)
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □ □ □

---------------
(researched:)
□ □ □ □ □ □
□ □ □ □ □ ...


Essentially add the second category, as the rest already exists like this anyway.

edit:
By that logic it would probably make sense to also separate them in the unavailable section, too. As OP seems to want to look through possible future research, which my suggestions would not help at all with. Just do both; Checkbox and separation.

Nice, good point. Yes sorting would also help a lot.

Some additional filters would obviously also be cool. Maybe even a filter by planet, or filter such that only technologies following a specific selected technologies are shown
