Anyone found a good way to spot good Arc Furnace systems?

[Eldrin]

And by spot Arc systems i mean something better then having to go through every system 1 by 1 and having to count the number of workable celestial bodies you got.

The latest update added a feature where it lists the maximum deposits of what you can get if you build an Arc furnace or Habitat in that system.

If you take the Origin also, it will inform you of a potential peak system to build your 2nd one starting off.

It only shows the max number of furnace options, though. So it won't do the math wether a smaller system with existing deposits may be better (almost never is for alloys, but just in case)

Mouse over the system in the galaxy view. As long as you have the arc furnace tech the tooltip will show you (the functionality was added in a recent patch).

If only i could hold down alt and get all that info, i play only on a 600 star galaxy... imagine someone playing on 1000 and having to go through them 1 by 1

How do you activate this feature? In my game, it showed the info earlier, but now it won't. I don't remember doing anything to get it to come up before.
Edit: Apparently you don't get the info if you're at your arc limit.

yeah, the info will only pop up if you can construct one - so you will not be shown it bfore you research it either.
PS: It is really annoyin that the icon is not greyed out when you are at the limit. Arc Furnace is at least somewhat apparent, but Dyson Swamrs are less so
