Copy wand for buildings #661

Context

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Buildings of the same type often have similar settings in your town that may not be the default settings. Changing this for every building on its own is quite tidius.

Feature description

It would be nice, if you have a wand or tool, that allows copying setting and pasting them in different building of same type and same or higher level (to prevent using settings, that are not unlocked in the building). If this would work for guard tower (minimum stock to define the items they use and the mobs they attack) and the builders hut (minimum stock and the building setting) it would be quit helpful, because this are the buildings, you have most of. For other buildings it might be helpful to, especially the minimum stock and maybe the pickup priority. A other option would be a button on the buildings, where you can click and set the settings as default in the colony could also be in the town hall. Maybe the wand could only be crafted by the mechanic and needs to be researched in the university, that would need some progress before you can start copying setting. Might be more balanced.

Something like this is usually less useful than it might sound at first. Min stock at a guard tower would be for armour and weapons, but a new hut will be L1 and so unable to use the armour/weapons of the (presumably higher level) building you're copying. Same for builder's hut -- a new hut won't be able to build the higher level buildings yet so will need different materials on hand for the buildings it can build.

There's also no point copying pickup priority, as the whole point of that setting is to set it differently for different buildings to establish a relative priority ordering. Most other buildings will want different items in min stock as well since they'll have different recipes that they're responsible for.

The mob attack list / allowed fuels list are the only things I can think of that would actually be useful to copy between buildings, but typically these are only a couple clicks different from the defaults and so it doesn't take long to set them up.
