Two Peeves - Prioritization and Hydroponics

[knacko]

Do all of the colonists have ADHD? I'm about to be invaded and force a colonist to start building another turret. They'll put down the blueprint, then decide to go have lunch or finish a wall on the other side of the base. Prioritization should mean you don't stop working on it until it's finished, or you've run out of the resources to build it.

Also, when you have 20+ hydroponic basins, it's rather tedious to select each one if you want to change production. All soon as you select multiple basins, it removes the button to change the crop. I've pretty much stopped using them because of this, as it's far easier to just double your farm size.

Is there any way to fix either of these annoyances?

Prioritzation is the way it is because otherwise we'd be complaining about Billy having a mental breakdown and leaving the colony because he's starving since he focused on finishing building than getting a meal.

Immediate survival (other than combat) take precedence over doing the next step of a project, though it can be overridden by command the pawn to do it again.

I do, however, agree on the hydroponics. It would make sense to at least allow for us to click and drag to select several and then be able to change them.

The hydroponics issue is particularly annoying because it's an integral piece of interface that's actually present on other things.

Doors/Lamps/Coolers/Heaters, the list goes on, you can select multiples of all of these and perform various actions.

It's obviously a different system for hydroponics for whatever reason, but it's certainly frustrating. Especially when there are plants currently growing which adds another click or button press, feels extra clunky.
