[Change Request]: Building tool: the ability to repair buildings is poorly communicated

[ante185]

Is the requested change related to a problem?

The probability of someone stumbling across the fact that you repair destroyed buildings without going out of the way to read up on it is very slim.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Ruins could be highlighted, perhaps with a border of red spheres around the base of the ruin, this would effectively shout to a player that "Hey you're in the build menu, you can do something with this ruin".

Alternative solutions

Greying out the "repair building" button instead of outright removing it could be a sufficient hint that repairing buildings is something that you can, instead of outright removing the button prompt.

Additional context

there's already a number of features in antistasi that are nearly impossible to accidentally stumble across for a player, we don't need to add more of those unless there really isn't a good way to communicate them.

The repair building button's the same spot as the cancel building button atm, so the alt doesn't really work. Also tiny text there.

Border of red spheres seems like it's going to be too busy if there are a lot of ruins around. Single blob on top would be ok. Alternatively we could go with icon overlays, ideally with distinct icons for repair options & newly placed buildings.
