Pretty sure it's F12

Tried searching all over my pc to find where the potential screenshots may have gone but the main, designated folder for screen captures does not contain any ss of the build i just made..

@ Developers: If it's not yet available, could we perhaps get a 'Share' button that could let us save and or post our builds on our social media? Maybe the button could generate an image of the tower in multiple different angles (as if it was in a photoshoot). You could even slap PCBS logo on the image somewhere. idk, just a thought.. right now, I'm afraid to leave my build thinking I might not get the chance to get a screenshot if I proceed.
In the main steam client window -> view -> settings -> In-Game -> set up steam's screenshots with the screenshot folder and key. Steam has this built in already. You don't need any game to have any sort of in-game screenshot ability. Steam can screenshot all steam games.

Don't know what to tell you. F12 takes screenshots, I just did it. Steam puts the screenshot in some random folder in like several others. F12, exit game, post game summary of screenshot, right click on it, manage screenshots, show on disk, boom.

They could of changed their steam screenshot key from F12 to something else. It is re-mappable. That's why I suggested for them to go review it in steam settings first.

As Aquafawks said.
Indeed, you go to your steam settings > IN GAME > and there on the right part, there is a rectangle where you can set the key for taking pics while playing a Steam game.

If the user changed that setting, then Steam can't understand F12.
If the user clicked on the X after the rectangle it simply delete the input key, leaving you without a key mapped.

ok its f12 for steam then upload, or press prt sys req button on keyboard and paste into ms paint and save as jpeg or what ever you like.

You don't even have to upload in Steam. Keep it local if it's for your own reference only.
