New Resources

When creating a new resource there is an extra step to get it to appear in all the right UI locations.

To appear in the resource panels (bottom left) amend the resourceCategoriesDict value for it in ui.json.

Notes

Please note that in the codex or codebase "resources" are sometimes referred to as "items". Consider these terms interchangeable.
