It would be nice, if I could display all possible structures whether researched or not. That way I can plan my base accordingly and know what I need to do to get that structure unlocked. A checkbox of some kind, to fill the lists of structures my race is capable of building, with a red highlight on anything I haven't researched (like the current red used for showing a structure lacks materials), and a yellow version for structures that don't have enough materials to build. Hovering on a red one, would show what I lack to build it, either research or some other requirement like a missing building or bot.

It doesn't really make sense that you could see buildings that you don't have the research for. It would be like if we saw what happens 100 years in the future we would work towards that instead of making other research and breakthroughs because we know that's where we are headed.

However, looking it up in a website feels a bit weird, it should be the encyclopedia's job to inform the player of the game, so let it inform us. The information you need is already on the encyclopedia but the way its organised is just convoluted and hard to find the information we need. The encyclopedia needs a better GUI with better navigation in order to find exactly what the user wants. At the moment all it does is give you a massive scrollbar of all types of buildings, resources, technologies etc instead of separating the types of buildings.
