Wishlist item: notification log

[TrollHunter]

I would love a feature that captures and notes the time for each "unlock" notification we receive in-game. The notifications pop up and disappear quickly. Much of the time, this is fine, but when in the middle of something, or when things are clipping along quickly and several notifications follow one right after the other, it's easy to miss them. Or to be distracted by something else and forget completely! And it can be challenging to find where the new blueprints/recipes are available, given the number of of build menus & crafting locations.

Perhaps this could be added to the Message screen?
So in addition to capturing broadcast messages, and local messages, there could be a third category for blueprint notifications, with a timestamp and development stage for each.
This would help save my sanity, and make my day.

I hate the way it does it also and usually have to chase down what just unlocked in the unlock screen to find out what all it was.

This. So much this. Really, a notification log would help SOOOO much.

Well, at least checking the unlock screen is easy. It only takes, what again, 0.3 power and an iron/silicon to build one? Or you could just peruse your build list, though that doesn't cover the crafting machines.

But yeah, it would be nice if the game kept track of your latest unlocks, perhaps the last 5 could show up on the right of the screen and stay there for a minute or two or until you build them.
