Summary0021045: tweak to "no up to date vision" on planets
DescriptionCan we put some text there to make it clear that this cool visual effect is deliberate? Otherwise I could really easily imagine it confusing people. I think it confused someone on discord already.

The text at the top of the left sidebar is there. I'm not sure how large we want to make the text, you know?

Maybe something extra at the top or bottom of the screen? I just think it's possible for a newer player to go to one of those plants and not think to look at the sidebar and be confused.

Thanks!

* The visual effect for viewing a planet where you have stale intel (but have seen it before) was before a bit confusing and a bit much.
** Much as Chris liked the matrix-y effect, that has been ditched and things are a lot more Factorio-like in terms of just being darkened and grainy.
** The effect is subtle enough not to be irritating, but to be definitely noticeable. Given the sidebar notes Stale Intel, and things don't look super duper crazy in terms of the visual distortions, hopefully we don't need any bigger onscreen messages to explain what is happening to players.
