Ability to pre-set paint tool color and texture choices on the hotbar.
Reviving a topic of mine from last year, having recently done another large build
I would like the ability to take a specific color and texture setting with the paint tool and save that to the hotbar. Let's say your ourside color scheme on your ship has three primary color settings, the current method requires you to go into either the block configuration and set the color for the block you're placing, then switch to the next color/texture for another block, etc, or do the same int he paint tool as you paint various blocks after building. Both require many extra, repetitive steps.
The suggestion here is that I be able to save a paint tool color setting to a hotbar, so that I can pre-make my (in the above example) 3 (or more) choices for the colors I'm going to use, each with its own hotbar. That way I can hit a single key and switch back and forth as I move around the ship doing my painting.
I like this feedback
Again, more hotbar presettable options.

I guess everyone enjoys having to go repeatedly into the color picker to pick gray, then red, then white, then back to gray, then back to red, then white, then back to red. each time you come to a block. In general when I'm building there are usually 4-5 colors, often by functionality (conveyors are yellow, production white, etc)
You're either picking the colors constantly pre-building the block, which means holding R, going to the color wheel and setting what the block is supposed to be, and then as soon as you switch to another block you repeat that process. Or you build everything one color and then detail paint with the paint tool. Both require too many steps.
This feedback is simply, let you put those color choices as hotbar items, so I can pre-select the colors I plan to use and then hotbar one button change between colors and textures in one step as opposed to 3-4. It's a constantly repeated step that could easily be optimized.
