Applying upgrade planner to blueprint should also upgrade icons in text

Post by phyreskull »

TL;DR
Item references in blueprint name/description should also be changed when applying an upgrade planner.

What ?
Using an upgrade planner against a blueprint in the library is a great feature, and it's really nice that it also upgrades the blueprint icons... but if you have item references in the blueprint name/description, it does not currently change those. Applying the same upgrade rules to those references would be nice.

I realise there may be issues with maximum string length, but if the post-replacement string is too long, it could always remain unchanged or display an error.
Why ?
This feels like a consistency thing. It's not really much effort to work around, but as the blueprint icons change with the upgrade planner it feels a little odd for the name/description not to do so as well.
