There is an add-on that makes it impossible to forget in the first age (how is it possible that isn’t mandatory?!?!) but not sure if it doesn’t work or doesn’t try to work in later ages. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

I have that mod. Does not work between ages unfortunately.

Glad it isn’t just broken for me. When I’m back at my box I’ll ask the author if it could gain this feature.
