Actions and things are limited in say, preset maker and map maker, because they aren't necessarily modes that are meant to be played in, but moreso to preview your work. FH is dominantly an online game. I can understand where you are coming from as I know with things being down, it can be a bit boring after awhile to just play with map maker or preset maker, but what I suggest as a method of saving character designs you like would be to screenshot it, so when things are back online you could go and create it over again.
