Steps to reproduce:
- open a 2.0.21 world
- obtain hazard concrete (either refined or regular)
- place 4 to make a diamond shape
- copy this diamond shape and place as a ghost
- use pipette (Q) on parts of the shape (ghost or placed) with //// orientation
- press R
- use pipette (Q) on parts of the shape (ghost or placed) with \\\\ orientation
- press R
- use pipette (Q) on parts of the shape (ghost or placed) with //// orientation again
- hover over a ghost hazard concrete
- press R

Expected behaviour:
- whenever Q is pressed, the selection becomes //// or \\\\ hazard concrete to match the orientation of the concrete you pressed Q at
- using R rotates the ghost hazard concrete, or places the refined hazard concrete

Actual behaviour:
- the orientation you get is whatever it was last time you used the tool
- concrete can only be rotated when you are holding it

Why this is a pain:
- Before robots are researched, or, when robots aren't around, I can't make easily make complex patterns with the concrete by rapidly pipetting a blueprint and then placing it

I seem to have run into trouble attaching the .zip and an .mp4 demonstrating the issue.

It's fine, its easy to reproduce.

Thanks for the report. This feature was now added for 2.0.24.

Thanks team for being so onto it
