 As the topic says, currently I'm watching Deejay Knight stream the game, and there was a massive ice storm that damaged a lot of his colony.  But looking at it, it looks a bit tedious to me having to click the individual buildings.  Having an automated repair facility or maybe just a repair all button (Or a drag box) may be a good idea.

Yeah, that was a good stream!  There is, in fact, a Drone Auto-Repair social policy that you can enable; I don't think DJK had found this yet.  Also, we're going to nerf shard storms a bit this week.

Ahh! I need to find this social policy ... and why is it a social policy? Construction priorities / policies seem more appropriate unless that's not a category. I'm still learning (just completed Vanaar) so I don't know all of them yet. 

I was going to make a separate post for this but I think it fits here in this one best:

Please consider adding repair interface management to the two tutorial scenarios because I got mid-way into Vanaar without having ever seen repair indicators and I had no clue what they were at first until I fumbled around with them a bit to figure out why all my buildings were suddenly showing them and then breaking. It should be intuitive I guess but I didn't pick up on that right away so I think it's worth considering as part of tutorial mode especially as critical as it can get if you ignore the warnings and everything starts breaking at once.
