How do you transfer blueprints between saves?

[Tazor]

I tried creating a new game. Used cheats to unlock everything. Made a blueprint. Saved it. Works in this scenario. Only created buildings I have already unlocked in my main save.
Went to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints and copied it to the correct folder. And it doesn't work.

Note that I used a mk 3 blueprint designer in my new cheated game. I only have mk 2 in my main save. Is this an issue? I got a mod that adds some fairly large blueprints, even bigger than what would fit in a mk 3.

Any ideas?

I use MK3s BPs on my main save with only the mk2 unlocked so that isn't it.

Did you do the file transfer with the game open?

No. I closed it down while doing it.

I'm assuming you've tried rebooting the game/pc again, then?

Like Fenix, I've transferred mk3 blueprints across to saves without the mk3 designer unlocked and been able to use them fine, so not sure; might be something with your mods, maybe?

Question: Does this Session Name have a space in it?
If So, rename it in the session manager The BPs don't like spaces in Session names (and some special characters) for some reason.

If you use the Web tool SCIM to edit a save it beaks the blueprints and they dont show up.

i did the same thing as you. wanted to start a new game to test tileble prints.
spawned some items in boxes using SCIM. unlocked the blueprints milestone and none of the prints i put in the folder show up. Blueprints you make also break and dont save to the folder.

Edit.. use the easy cheat mod. not had any issues turning on "no cost" and testing.

Now it works. It just works. I can transfer blueprints between saves. I did nothing different. I don't understand. Thanks for the help anyway.
