Feature request: Filter by required science packs

[voidus]

Heya,

Thanks for the modding work!

I'm playing angelbobs which has combinations of science packs (simplified, one line for progression and one by area), and it would be helpful to filter the list of technologies by the science pack needed.

This is on the plan.

I think two reasonable implementations of this could be:

• Simple checkbox/button at top to toggle hiding researches who's prerequisite packs aren't all having their recipes unlocked
• An obvious filter system, maybe just iterate over the research pack options and display buttons for them across the top bar with their icons, hiding any unselected; could right click to quickly select-exclusively

Just so it's on the board, it would be also useful to filter for techs using selected pack(-s) but without requiring all of said tech packs being selected.

Technically, I would like to have an OR filter with the selected packs (could be a checkbox or CTRL-clicking the tech packs).

Use case: I want to know how many techs are still unresearched that use given pack so I know when I can safely phase it out.

And an more concise example: I have such techs:

• A (red, green),
• B (red, yellow),
• C (green, yellow)

I select red, and green, then I see:

• A (because I selected red OR green),
• C (because I selected green, I don't care that yellow isn't selected).

My current plan is to implement it by the "highest level" science pack. So for

• A (red, green)
• B (red, yellow)

Selecting red would show neither of them, green would show A, and yellow would show B.

I would still love to see this feature!

yeah that would be so useful for large packs
