[2.1.17] Properties UI text don't update after using "set_property" command

[Talandar99]

Issue:
It is possible in control stage to change surface property using command, but changing surface properties don't change displayed UI text, which will easly confuse player / make it more difficult to communicate if such mod would change property

Prerequisite: Base game + Space Age

How to replicate / how I found it:
1. make new empty save
2. enter a set of commands to make sure property was in fact changed

Code: Select all

/c game.print(game.surfaces["nauvis"].get_property("pressure"))

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces["nauvis"].set_property("pressure", 0)

Code: Select all

/c game.print(game.surfaces["nauvis"].get_property("pressure"))

3. Attempt to place asteroid collector, crusher and biolab on nauvis to be 100% sure that property was in fact changed
4. You should be able to place asteroid collector, crusher and not biolab. So property was in fact changed in code.
5. Check descriptions in few places and see that it was not changed to reflect new property change

I didn't expect tooltips to change with surface conditions but this would be lovely to have and open up a lot of cool possibilities!

Thanks for the report however this is simply how properties are implemented. Every one of those tooltips uses the values defined in the prototypes and does not try to show the current runtime information. Maybe some day that will change - but for now runtime changing of the values won't be reflected in these tooltips.
