While playing Krastorio 2, I realized you do not actually need to research the Circuit Network technology, since the buttons are visible (and work.) I decided to check this in vanilla, and sure enough, on a barely started save (not even researched logistic science) the buttons are visible (and work.) I don't know if this is actually desired behavior, but if not, here's a bug.

I'm a proponent of per-game shortcut behavior because it just blows imo that you join one random multiplayer game and have all the buttons unlocked on all your saves, crap that you have no idea what it is because you never researched it yourself. When I was a new player I had to figure out how to delete all save data from Steam cloud multiple times because of this, very annoying.
