Is there an easier/quicker way to build blueprints?
Because it gets really boring doing it all by hand. I see all of the awesome ships on the workshop and they're all blueprints. There must be a way to enjoy these blueprints by building them swiftly and efficiently without wasting any time

you could use spacemaster (if in surival) and paste them in.

You could try building something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t0H4D_GLhU

There's the nanite factory mod and shipyard mod, besides that use spacemaster mode or enable copy/paste on your world settings, or build a welding small ship

I usually build a "factory" using 6 - 8 refineries 24 assemblers and the component quota and TIM scripts, then tack on something like the nanite mod.

Using TIM to manage you refineries to keep them on task with no micro.
The factory quota script keps you in stock of parts and you can focus on mining the appropriate ores to keep it running.

throw up a projector on your base, align it and let the nanites go to town.

If you're looking to stay vanilla, build a welding ship first. I like to arrange mine with two welders (and a grinder, I make mistakes) in good view of the cockpit. You carry parts in a large cargo container and get enough thrust to lift it all, you're good to go.

I've always had really bad luck with the "ship printers" that build a ship with lots of welders moving in and out.
Best way I found was to have your blueprints set up in layers. Instead of one complete blueprint for a ship have a blueprint for everything deep within, the base layer. Then another for everything around that, etc, making sure you can get to everything in a layer easily.
SE is not empyrion, you gotta work for your stuff.

it slowly builds blueprints for u. U just need to provide components.

I'm talking about creative. No one in the right mind would try to build a blueprint as big as my one in survival

Ctrl C+V?

Or Ctrl B to make a BP?
