Copy / Paste Function - Or blue prints?

[bigbadvoodoodady_1]

I'm newer to the game, and I'm guessing I can't enable the "copy/paste" function because I'm in survival mode.

So I'm wondering... is there any way to create a blue print of a craft I've already built so I can then gather resources and make a second one?

You make a blueprint of the craft you want in creative, copy it and hit F10 to bring up the blueprints menu. At the lower right hand corner you then click the create from cliboard option. This allows you to use the hologram block in survival to project the ship you want and from there you just weld it. Copy your survival world and make it creative to make your existing craft a blueprint.

as far as i know you can make a blue print even in survival by looking at the ship and hitting ctrl + b

Lol wish I knew that.

Yes, yes can.
1) build a ship, ( I'm assuming you've already've done this)
2) make a blue print of the ship
3) build a projector block
4) load the blueprint into the projector block
5) attach the projection to a grid
6) build second ship

hope that helps

I'm very saddened they removed the option to use copy and paste in survival.

I tend to play this game on my own most of the time(which I'm fine with and enjoy without any issues) and to get me going I used to paste in a few ships that I'd pre-built in another creative world.

I know you can use the projector but it's very laborious to then have to weld it all once completed. Especially if it's a large design. Not happy I've been forced into doing this. I would switch the worlds between creative and survival but that completely ruins any cargo inventories I've already built up as cargo is unlimited in creative so when I switch back to survival I lose a tonne of stuff I've already stored up. As it's only a single player world I'd like all the choices at my disposal and using copy/paste was a big boost for me. Don't have a huge amount of time to play these days and this just makes it worse :\

Apologies for the necro but it as the most up to date topic I could find on this subject.

They never "removed" copy/paste in survival. You've never been able to do it in the first place.

In fact, they did exactly the opposite. We now have Space Master mode which gives you access to creative tools (like copy/paste) from within your survival world without needing to exit it and change the save file setup.
