QOL Suggestion 2 Mass Block Coloring for Builders

Once again, as posted in another thread here, I really enjoy the mod. HOWEVER, it is a real pain in the arse to make colored metal blocks with the sprayer, especially for anyone who wants to build with the blocks on a larger scale. As such, I would suggest some kind of automated block sprayer that could use larger tanks of dye and accept block input for coloring. This would be useful for anyone building a large base sized ship which would require up to, or more than, 1k blocks, or for anyone wanting to build any substantial sized base on any of the other dimensions. Doing them with the hand sprayer is just unneeded grind and annoying for larger scale builds.

I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to use the already established code for the sprayer while modifying it for a block form and much larger tanks. Maybe the dye recipe could be full stacks of the items already needed for the present spray tanks and a place to add water directly to the machine (maybe a powder form that used the stacks instead of a new tank, with water added at the new block version of the present sprayer)?

Research could be set up in a way that it came later in the tech tree to continue forcing of the hand sprayer for machine building requirements? Just not too far in the tree, maybe in decoration area?
