[QoL] Switch to lock manual crafting (for "Lazy Bastard" achievement)

Post by skyman »

TL;DR
Add a tri-state switch (or buttons) to disable/enable manual crafting for whole faction/only others in the faction. Mainly for "Lazy Bastard" achievement, but could also be used as a challenge.
Why?
Theoretically you can edit permissions to toggle manual crafting, but this doesn't seems like polished way to do this, especially that you can mess up things by accident.
What?

A better way would be adding a tri-state switch (or buttons) with the following:
  • default to have manual crafting enabled,
  • upon first click lock manual crafting for the player's faction, but not for the invoker,
  • after second click lock manual crafting for the entire faction,
  • next click unlock again with a warning dialog.
The tri-state switch (or buttons) should be visible in the Achievements' list AND in the pinned achievement on the side of the screen. Possibly there should be pop-up dialog once you pin Lazy Bastard achievement, asking if you want auto-lock manual crafting and where to toggle it later on.
