Summary: Multitool upgrade function requiring many button presses

Description: In the past, when I wanted to upgrade the damaged blocks on the Damaged Hoverbike to steel blocks I would make sure that I had enough steel plates in my inventory than hold the mouse button down as I walked around the hoverbike with the multitool and and upgraded the blocks. I understand that this not only repairs the damaged block types but it also upgraded the carbon blocks to steel blocks.

Now I will have maybe 1-2 blocks upgraded before I have to press the mouse button again. Sometimes it feels like I have to press the mouse button once for every block I want to upgrade.

The multitool also seems less accurate now, and I have been removing blocks I did not intend to remove using that function.

Steps to Reproduce: Use the upgrade function on the multitool.
Recommend upgrading the blocks on the damaged hoverbike and dart to steel while testing.

 

I can confirm that issue. Tried to upgrade blocks on a SV from Steel to Hardened Steel with a stack of Titanium Plates in my inventory. While keeping LMB pressed it only upgrades 1-3 blocks before it stops and you have to click again...

 

Issue?
You mean that if you try to upgrade all Blocks - in succession - the Tool stops after some Blocks, right?

 

Correct... it stops after some blocks.

 

I am also seeing the same issue with the Color and Texture tool, it stops working after a few blocks and you have to fire again.

 

I started a new game and attempted to replicate the issue.
The C&T tool appears to be resolved, so it's just the multitool.

 

That would be great, if time permits, of course.
Placing 256 Container Extensions, Box by Box, for a SV/HV CC/CE 32k volume is an arduous task.
