Add option to focus on alien synth please

[Sheakiru]

left all synth running on first alien synth but soon as it was done it defaulted to T13 cryogenic which has an estimated time of 6 years

-also please add option to toggle manual/auto for all at once...
-and an option to let manual toggled synthers produce components required for the locked in production item:
while this will also be useful for regular components (the amount of times i accidentally left it on manual without infinite base components TT), it is kinda needed for alien synth which needs an extra large helping of base components for both modules and next tier synths.. and there is, as of yet no infinite production for them.

Agreed, it's annoying that smart synth will want to go back to normal synth after you finish an alien synth recipe, I had to put stuff on manual for it. Maybe shift clicking S/M toggles it on for all in the future?

Smart synth does two things: automatically craft components, and switch targets when the current target is maxed. For most of the game, both of these are desired. In the late game, however, there are increasingly reasons to want to keep working on a material after it's been maxed, so it would be helpful to decouple these two behaviors.

A little nitpick: Smart synth only crafts the required components. The Autoswitch when maxed is called Smarter Craft and unlocks through your first reinforce :-) (It only applies when Smart Synth is active though)

Smarter Craft is also not properly choosing the easiest recipe to max out. For me it will revert to a regular synth that would require more than one year to max despite my various aliens synths requiring just a few days.
