Newbie Observation

I am finding it difficult to keep up with the production
of storage facilities for my resources (minerals, organics,
radioactives) therefore I have to scrap the production
facilities themselves to reduce production. What I would
like to see is the option to temporarily shut down a
facility without scrapping it (similar to mothballing spaceships).
There could be a gradual scaledown in resource production to
zero and then a gradual scale up again if the facility was
re-activated. What do you think ????
Cheers Everyone.
