could we get the theory lab to black-out or highlight the build button like in the battle market?

(if you dont have the needed artis to build it's blacked out)

(highlighted if you do have the needed artis)

+0.5 sounds good, but not every needed.

This has the same drawback as displaying actual in-stock artifact counts with the recipes. The system would have to check your entire cargo (well half of it or so, but you get the point) every time you open the Lab or click a build, rather than checking the relevant 2 or 3 artifacts as it is now. Yes, it would be nice to have it set up the same as the badge market, but remember... There's only 6 badges that need checked, there's quite a bit more artifacts that would need checked. +1 for ease of use, -1 for creating unnecessary lag. The potential lag is probably the reason why Build New Structure on planets only checks available planet space rather than your mineral/credit totals as well.

+1 to what darth just said. i was thinking pretty much the same thing just didn't know how to say it.

it would only add the same amount of lag as when you click on your artifacts inventory..... and only when you go to the lab right/?

i'm no programmer so that lag may be the case but ... still a good idea I think

i agree to the +1 to ease of access idea and the -1 to the artifact check idea
you have no idea how much lag that would create so +.5
