QoL: highlight factoriopedia recipes that are (un)locked

Post by i-make-robots »

What: change the background of 'pedia recipe icons to either red for locked, green or unlocked, or both.

Why: I'm playing pyanadons and I see this:

Can you tell which recipes are unlocked? Let's look through and... hm, this one looks tasty...

I'll build that. Wait, the recipe isn't available in the Assembler. Huh? OH DANGIT!

So the tech backgrounds can be highlighted; the locked recipes in Helmod can be highlighted; and only Factoriopedia doesn't follow this pattern.

It would be nice if this were clearer.

Thank you all, stay awesome!

Either this, or the ability to hide unresearched entries, or both. Preferably both.
