[Enhancement] Saved Page State (aka 'Remember Settings')

[EkoJR]

Summary

A page feature to allow settings to be auto-saved. This may even open up the possibility to allow users to store multiple configurations to calculate from.

Description

When users play in Science or Career Mode, they often have to configure the Page Settings/Filter in order to display the correct parts, or in some instances need to an alternate configuration to match the environment/situation. Currently, whenever the page is (forced) reloaded or re-visited, everything is lost.

This may require further investigation, but after a bit of searching I came across this Page[1] which was working on a jQuery Cookie Issue[2]. The goal was fairly simple, and experimental, but it seems like they succeeded.

They wanted to Invert the Page colors by having users click 'Invert Colors' at the Top-Right. The Page then updates, and stores the setting via cookie. After that, users can navigate and/or re-open the Page with the same settings.
