Description
With this mod you can now select and manage multiple buildings at the same time! It even comes with useful utilities like Copying and selecting all buildings with filters.

All hotkeys are rebindable in the settings menu (Settings -> Keybindings -> UI group).

Selecting multiple buildings

You can select multiple buildings of the same kind (Lumbermills, Large Tanks, etc.) by:

- Holding Shift (or whichever you bind the "Alternate Action" key) and clicking on a building. Shift clicking a selected building to unselect it.
- Select a building then click Select All (Ctrl + A) or Select in District (Ctrl + Shift + A).

While one or more buildings is selected, you can also click Copy (Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert) to quickly select the Build tool to build the same type of building.

Macro Management

With multiple buildings selected, you can then also uncheck or check to decide which buildings to be affected. You can see quick info of them including their names, the status (Pause/Running), the Storage's type, the Dwellings' number of beavers.

You can (when applicable):
- Pause/Unpause.
- Set the Storage's type or remove it.
- Set Workplace's settings: Workers, Priority and Type.
- Set the Production's recipe.
- Delete all selected ones (with Delete key).

Tips
1. Use More Naming to rename your buildings and it will show up in the list.
2. Use TImprove 4 UI's Scrollable Entity Panel to add a scroll bar when the panel is too long.
3. Selected buildings are highlighted.

Roadmap "™️":
A few improvements on my mind right now (which means it may be added right now or in a century):
- Add some more info on priority to the list.
- Add optional support to Quick Bar so you can save a building group.

v7.1.1: The multi-select and copy panel and hotkey should now show up and work with TimberApi. Thanks @Kimiko for the report.
v7.1.0: Added Hauler Prioritization panel support.
v7.0.2: Fixed a crash when hovering over the Delete button when selecting multiple buildings. Thanks @ImpetuousWombat
v7.0.1: Fixed a crash when holding Shift to select multiple... Beavers, thanks @eliptus. Also there was a conflict with Buff & Debuff that was fixed, you can update Buff & Debuff if you use both mods.

That's interesting... I did fix another issue with TimberApi but didn't test this behavior. I will investigate it once I come back. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi I'm finding the select all and copy hotkeys don't work with any key binds. I also have a load of other mods installed so maybe a conflict there, but definitely not in the keybind list. I may try to remove the other mods and test it to be sure this weekend.
I can hold select to multi select that works and is great. Thank you!

Thank you! I had seen the Delete issue before but can't reliably reproduce it (though it was before I updated the Buff & Debuff mod). I will investigate later if it is still happening. As for the hotkey, maybe try assigning it to another hotkey and see if it works (i.e. to see if it's a hotkey conflict or because actual hotkeys don't work). And if you assign it back to Ctrl C and it says something like "hotkey already assigned" then you can easily find out which one is using it ;)

@Luke
Crashing issue: I can cause the crash reliably by selecting 2 buildings and mousing over the delete button. "Uncaught Exception" or something appears in red on the top of the screen, then the game goes to the ug report page.

Copy issue: I don't see any effect from ctrl-C or ctrl-A but shtft to multi-select works. I had the Pipette Tool mod installed which uses Ctrl, but that's been disabled and still no luck.

@Impetuous Wombat: did you have any mod that needs Buff & Debuff, I found out it had a conflict with that mod. You should update B&D as well as this if that's the case.
