Base editing - Persistent numbers, power off

One or two minor annoyances came back to light as I was editing a (small) SG base just a few minutes ago. I added two teleporters, and overextended the control amount.

OK, not a problem, either delete something or add control, right? Well, how much am I over?

Good question. If you hover in JUST the right spot, the numbers will come up - unfortunately, at least for me, that spot seems to be about a five pixel by five pixel square at best.

What I'd *like* to see is, either permanently or as an option, have the graphs display the actual *values* (or have the option to have the values replace the graphs) - so they'd read, say, "Power: 230/250" (230 used of 250,) Control: 140/150." When they go over the amount, though it'd be obvious I'd think, the numbers go red.

In addition - let me place, but power off, items. It's not a big deal for normal base items, but for crafted items you don't want to delete, keeping them in-base but "switched off" would be nice, just for the sake of placement. When you're ready to use them, turn them on.

(And last but not least - restating the request for a temporary holding area for items, so bases can be shuffled around and things like teleporters can be "held" while doing something like deleting the rooms (getting the prestige back) to replace with a larger room, or trying to rearrange rooms on a specific plot.)

No! You can't say that answer! You're supposed to pick one, then I deride you for being wrong, because it was really both!
