Option for "Small powerplants on high build priority" under Presets in Default States #2349

Clutter in the presets area has a cost. There are two small powerplants and they are on the same page, click them manually. Why would there ever be a preset which affects just one setting (commander priority). Factory priority is the most reasonable suggestion but we would need two settings, one to set and one to reset. I think here it is still reasonable to click the buttons yourself.

Perhaps some general inheritance system would be good. There could be a generic 'factory' set of options which include the common factory options. Setting an option would change the value for all factories. This would be a bit of a confusing UI though.

Presets are a bit like a simplesetting (or perhaps a normalsetting with the individual ones being advanced). I think a lot of people will just look at the presets without going deeper to customize each single unit (even the commander).

Then having a preset for just the commander is a way to make sure these people find it.
