Removing Blueprints from save

[Mangy Camel]

So I screwed up and used the cheat menu to add all blueprints. I dont have time in my life to start a new save. So, I'm wondering if I can remove just the ship blueprints from my save. Looking at the blueprint list it looks like the ships are mixed in randomly with everything else. Is there a good way to remove those blueprints? Or am I looking in the wrong spot?

You could reload an Autosave if it hasn't been saved over.

normally you can sort it out.. like "Argon" and it should sort the ships to argon ships. at least that is working for me when i build complexes with 500 stations of the races. though never tried it on ships

What software are you using to sort it out? Notepad++ doesnt seem to have that functionality unless I'm missing something.
This is a short example of what I'm seeing. Just trying to find a better way than sorting through it all by hand.

i was meaning it ingame to sort. i am not using any cheat or workshop.. a 100% vanilla player

I'll try that, thank you

Going by just the last two lines, I would assume:
blueprint ware="ship ----> would mean a ship-blueprint
_ter_ ----> would mean the race/faction (terran in this)
_s_ ----> ship-class like S, M, L, XL
_scout_01_a ----> ship model (sadly not ingame-names nor ingame-reference)

Any "notepad" (or similar) can do the searching for you (probably [Shift+F]). I think you just have to delete these lines.. but have never tried something like that myself.

I'm going to try it tonight, after I backup my save of course.

if you are using notepad++ then its easy:

press CTRL+M to open up the Mark search box
enter in ship_ in the "find what" box
make sure "Bookmark line" is ticked
then click on "Mark all"

that will then mark all the ship_ lines in notepad++

then click on "Search > Bookmark > Remove bookmarked lines"

and now they are all gone...

Man I wish I had read that before I manually went through it lol. I still have all the blueprints from the XR ship mod but I can live with that. Now that I have it I kind of wish I could remove the mod, I really dont care for the XR ships. Oh well. It worked, thanks to everyone for your help!
