BluePrints From Creative to Survival

[Z0MB1C]

I've been experimenting with the blueprints files for some time and found out the game saves blueprints for survival and creative differently. When in dev mode and you look at a build and enter /export "name" it will export it in a ".blueprint" file format. Creative will save them through the menu as a ".json" file format and attach a png icon of the build. when attempting to convert the blueprint from a .json to a .blueprint file format it works. You can do /import on the .blueprint and bring it into survival. You do have to move the file from your

%appdata%/ROAMING/Axolot Games/Scrap Mechanic/User/User_76561198049797787/Blueprints

folder and move it to your

F:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Scrap Mechanic\Survival\LocalBlueprints (Note this is just the games location mine is clearly different.

Upon importing the build however it will not move. It will not react to anything. you can get in it and click buttons but it is frozen in place. I'm thinking that converting the file formats may have broken the blueprint. If anyone has anymore info regarding this please share your findings.

Same thing I tried. I can delete parts but not interact much. Also construct is locked at a fixed altitude so haven't tried to deconstruct all the way yet. Need to build a floor and gather materials. I read another post that said something about bearings but I think it might be the suspensions too.

UPDATE! So I revisited the save with the imported vehicles and they work fully now. I'm not sure what changed after the newest patch but I now have all the vehicles I imported drivable. The motors that are in Creative and require no fuel also require no fuel in survival. One thing though is the car falls apart because the bearings are weak in survival for some reason and I can't paint the car.

I wasn't able to export at all. Didn't create any files inside the LocalBlueprints folder for me.

Does not work for me in Scrap 0.4.8. I destroyed my map. Game is crashing when i load the map.^^ Luckily it was just a test map.:)

For me i do the following:

https://jsoneditoronline.org/

Using that site I load the blueprint.json file and then under "BODIES" every section that says "childs" you must APPEND and and add a line that says:
type: 0

The number of "childs" varies based on the creation/vehicle youre wanting to import from creative. Once you finish appending to each "childs" save the modified blueprint.json back to your computer and change the file extension to "filename".blueprint.

Example: Flyingcar.blueprint

After that depending where you installed scrap mechanic you would then place the blueprint file in the following location:

X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Scrap Mechanic\Survival\LocalBlueprints

At this point you can then use the /import flyingcar (using the example) in the chat box. Just look at the ground some distance in front of you. Once your creation loads in just use the lift to be to be able place it correctly. As sometimes when your import your creation might be partially in the ground.

I've wrote a tool that converts (almost every) blueprint from creative to survival.
Here is the link!

Still work in progress so try it on a backup or test map

I may be very stupid... but its do nothing. I can't use it :( What I have to do? I don't understand the "help" section, where I need to select those folders?

Actualy you shouldn't even be bothered selecting any folder. The application should the work. (Look automaticaly where your game is installed and so on)

I think i give it a quick rewrite.

okay, i've updated the Application. I've added a search function, the names instead of id's are shown now and so on.

Make sure you have .Net-Framwork 4.6.1 Installed.
