Power grid automatic selection

0.1.6 Current functionality: All rooms are assigned to power grid 1. Every room/door/hatch must be individually reassigned to another power grid.

Requested functionality: All rooms automatically select the first available power grid in design mode. This is triggered by the first power line that is placed on the room's red power box. This prompts the user to lay their primary power grids first.


Power grid deletion

0.1.6 Current functionality: Easy, (even too easy!), to select a power grid for deletion. It deletes the grid from the entire ship. Therefore, I used a different power grid for each floor, to protect myself from deleting the whole thing. But due to the default of every room to power grid 1, I had to manually switch every room on every floor to the grid that I wanted to use. Very laborious and also irritating when I forgot and a room is unpowered and can't be powered by the grid - but why? Ah, because the room defaulted to grid 1, when my grid on that floor was grid 2.

EDIT: Now I realised that every room is automatically assigned to the last selected power grid when placed. However! - When a newly placed room is left clicked on, the power grid shown as selected is power grid 1, even if the power grid the room is assigned to is not power grid 1.

So:
1. Click on a room.
2. Select power grid 2, 3, 4 or 5.
3. Place another room.
4. Left click on the newly placed room.
5. Observe that the selected power grid, in the bottom right corner of the screen is power grid 1. But the room will, in fact, be set to the last selected power grid.
