collection of improvements to existing functionality and (smallish) features

I don't feel like it's necessary to open an issue for each one. I've collected ideas from playing the game, so if any are worthy of a dedicated issue, let me know (I also have some more extensive features written down as well)..

features

  • it would be really nice to be able to click and drag a priority to a whole block of buildings (just like the upgrade tool does, but to set priorities for blocks of buildings, instead of having to click on each set of factories). maybe a way to do this, is to change the upgrade tool to edit settings (or upgrade) for the group of buildings selected.

  • ASAP build: ability to unity build something as soon as unity and material reqirements are available.

  • also the ability to partially unity build something sending the hand to get materials acrooss the map easily (also useful in the early game to save diesel)

  • priorites panel: it'd be cool to have a panel where priorities can be given names and their priorities reordered by dragging them around. the idea is I can create a list of priorities like "oil", "iron", "steel", etc. and then I can arrange their order. additional options can be set on a per-priority basis like "allow partial loads".

improvements to existing functionality

  • storage alerts are kinda wierd -- it would be easier to just press the alert button (to enable alerts) and then pull two sliders for minimum and/or maximum alert (like the target fertilization slider)

  • in a mess of pipes with many connections, it's difficult to see where it goes. it'd be nice to have a button or something to show the complete path the pipe/belt takes and what resources ports it's connecting to (just like a plain colour line that follows the pipes/belts paths and has an arrow along the path to show direction).

    • an easier implementation is just an arrow on the pipe segment, instead of line for the whole path/network.
  • it takes forever to add servers to a data centre. three possible solutions are:

    • hold shift to add 5 at a time
    • "max" button which adds as many as can be added
    • a slider like the buckets/boxes to set how full you want the data centre to be.
