Distribution center

Having to sell the different ressources by using the production building quickly become laborious.
And having to configure all transport and freighter to sell ressources is also sometimes quite tedious.
Thus I think that we should have another type of building, with several buy/sell slots. It would probably count as a production building, that we can upgrade to have acces to more buy/sell slots, or to sell more ressources of one type each turn.

An example for the need for this... City was founded on turn 2900. I brought two freighters with some resources to help get it off the ground, 66 turns later they haven't even sold half of the stuff in their inventory. There's 15 different types of products they're each trying to sell and I'm guessing they'll be there for probably around 200 turns before they've managed to sell it all. This is time that would be much better spent using freighters to actually freight stuff, not sitting for 200 turns in a city selling 1 of their products at a time. Distribution center would mean I could drop the stuff off, the center sells a bunch at a time (maybe can sell more with higher upgrade level or something?) and the freighters can get back to transporting stuff while the center does the selling.
It is a difficult mechanic to implement because several other people could be selling at the same time and there's a limit (the volume) that can be sold in a turn and it all happens "in one pass" in the code, no looping. I want to try making a "Pick up All" and "Sell All" option to the order. "All" not as in quantity but "All" as in every different type you are carrying. I might be able to make that happen in one turn. So you can go to a location and pick up "all" which will pick up everything it can and then sell "All" which will try to sell all the different types at once. One day I'll get on that
