MULTI SELECTION
-You can now select multiple objects with shift + left click. You can select all of a type by double clicking. There is always a “primary selected” object you can use Tab to cycle through. You can upgrade, sort, complete scaffolds, etc, to all objects ‘matching’ the primary selection. For example, if you have 4 Blasters and 4 Rangers selected, upgrading Blaster damage will only apply to other Blasters in the selection list (if you can afford it).
