this is also a issue for me. i already requested a scroll option for buildings before. especially when you run lots of mods (some of which add tons of structures - not even using the industry slots).
imo it wouldn't be such an issue to add a "scrolling functionality" into the colony UI so i can switch to the next 12 buildings and back again. that way i could add AI cores to all of them without console shenanigans.
also the mod industrial evolution adds buildings that require you to interact with them (for example the variable assembler/manufactory) and for that i need to be able to click on the image and insert VPCs for example.
please add this option in the future!
