The plastic research icon is using the old graphic (the grey bar vs the new white bar). Also, the "missing repair packs" notification icon and the minimap notification icon are using the old repair pack image.

Nothing game stopping just noticed it the other day and thought it was wrong.

There's actually quite a few icons where the research icon doesn't match the item icon anymore. Another couple of examples would be Steel Processing using the old icon for Steel Plates, and Batteries too.

I think it's ok to have different icons between items and research, but it's a matter of personal taste

Well, they matched up before they where changed so I just assume they're meant to match. Like I said, it doesn't effect gameplay at all so it's not that big of a deal.

We are still not sure about these icons, so we will make them match one we are sure it is the final version.
