[QOL/UI] Multi selection/action

[Prince Kaine]

Double click on something, it selects all the copies it can see, then you give one order that applies to all the selection available to abide. You know, what they did in warcraft early nineties....

A tad bored after my 78th seed planted manually.

You're using the copy settings button aren't you?...

Of course no, I do it all manually, using chinese chopsticks to press the keyboard keys......

Yes I use it, but still, when you are talking about 200 boxes you must plant it's not ergonomic. If it was something difficult/hard to code, I won't mention it, but that???

funny thing is, once you have the settings of 1 box copy selected you can drag a huge selection area over every other box on the screen and have the settings copied over in a second, so i'm not sure why that's not enough.

Yes but the select box does not have a reliable behavior, to begin with. In shroom boxes for example if I try to apply an empty box settings to uproot all of them in one go it won't allways work. And I had the issue with other crops.

2nd agriculture was one example. What setting do you copy and which box do you open to slaughter those 50 hatches you were using for coal and suddenly need for food? How do you mass disable those 200 algae plants because you have a slime lung contamination?

So yes, I still ask for a little function that will make things smoother. Inovation is nice, but 1 it must work and 2 it must be superior to what it's supposed to replace. And here I really do not see where is the improvement compared to the standard method.
