Can we have some QoLs changing to PI, if no overhaul is in sight?

I'm getting tired of clicking/double-clicking EVERY factory multiple times to setup Routes, Outputs, and whatnots ...

At least something to Ctrl + Select multiple factories and choose where to send their output, and Ctrl + Clicking to multiple factories to select where I want something storaged to be sent.


Hopefully a bigger PI overhaul is planned, with easier streams changes, overall output/factoring/harvesting of the planet, etc ; but in the meantime, that would be something VERY much appreciated.
Having planets with 22 factories and multiple storages, it's a real pain (literally) to have to click THAT much to set up routes.

PI has been touched once -- literally once -- since its release. That actually was a QoL improvement; placing extractor heads and having enough grid/cpu to do stuff both made a difference, and being able to upgrade rather than replace CCs was huge. But since then... nothing.

So yeah. Don't hold your breath.

Personally, I think it's in a good place.

It's passive income. Sure, there is tons of clicking involved, but hopefully that scares away potential PI competitors.

Do I think it's annoying that it takes me about 30 minutes a day to go through all my planets? Yes.

Do I think it should only take me 5 minutes? No.

I think the effort/reward ratio is in a good place. If it would be made easier, my profits would go down, considering everyone would pick it up.

TL;DR: If you don't think its worth the effort and frustration, why do you continue to do it?
