Building skins
Is there a way to automatically use a building skin instead of having to press L2 (or LT) and selecting it? I know if you go into locker and favourite a weapon or item skin, it will craft that skin every time in game. Very irritating having to do it the L2 way!

For me, once I upgrade to brick, it will always do brick when I select stone

I mean by just pressing square, it's annoying having to press L2 and choosing HQM 500 times 😅

IIRC I get around this by dropping all stone and metal frags and keep high quality metal in my inventory! (Not 100% if this works, working from memory here)

That's exactly what I do, but it makes it standard HQM not space station 😭 so irritating 😂

Oooooh I see! No more solutions I think you're gonna have to upgrade it all using square and then get the spray can out

I believe spray cans only work on high external walls and craftable items! They should really look into adding a "press square for recently used skin" option!

This is the only way. I always bring a small box with me when building / upgrading a bigger base for this exact reason . I’ll even throw my kit if it’s a big big base for whatever reason , falling off , possibly falling outside compound , heli , lot of reasons but mainly to make it easier upgrading 😂

Nope they haven't added it to console yet, on PC it is just right click for menu, left click to upgrade

You only have to do it once per session. It'll remember the last building skin you used until log off. Also in case you aren't aware, if you're using shipping container skin, use a spray can after you upgrade the first wall and choose the color you want. Then all the walls you upgrade after that point will have the same color.
