Making Blueprints

[nothere41]

Stand near your structure. (Base, CV, Ship, Hv)
Put your cross hairs on any block of your base or ship you want to make a blueprint of.
Hit Alt-0.
Click "Save As' on the right then. name it whatever you want.

Alt+o is how you do it. Make sure your ship isn't near any other structures and that you're close enough to take a blueprint.

Ok

It's also a good idea to have the ship hovering, so it does not intersect the ground anywhere. Although this might be fixed. It does make it easier to get a good picture, though.

You learn this in the tutorial...

The tutorial is crap. Read my section 'Factory and Blueprints' and the the next section here:

The current tutorial, in the main menu, does have a practice of saving a blueprint and I picked up a couple of points there. But japp_02's is probably better...

Well, I must 'p.latypuss' a bit...The tutorial is not cr, it can even be fun, but it doesn't give all those important details.

I found the tutorial to be pretty comprehensive, though I'm a new player so the tutorial might have changed a lot since veterans tried it. Though the PDA is an absolute nightmare to work out, they seem to have made it a dozen times more complex than it really needs to be.

Question here ; Renaming it only rename the Blueprint name or the ship's/base name itself?

To rename the base / ship you do it in the P menu, overwrite what's written in the box.
In both the blueprint name and the ship name , there is a input limit.
