Schematic Usage Guide

Guide for using, saving, exporting, and importing schematics.

Using/Saving Schematics

Schematics are building plans that allow you to replicate a design quickly and easily.

• Hold [F] and drag select (mouse click not needed) buildings to create a schematic.
  
• You can then build this schematic elsewhere on the map, and/or save the schematic by clicking "Save Schematic".
  
  • Scroll to rotate the schematic. Press [Z]/[X] to flip the schematic.
  • You can overwrite an existing schematic by saving a new schematic with the same name. (Useful for updating Steam Workshop schematics.)
• Right-click to discard the schematic.

Schematic Menu

Saved schematics are in the schematic menu ([T], or click the clipboard button in the lower right).

• Click a schematic to select it for building.
  
• Schematics' name and description (displayed on Discord) can be edited.
  
• "Share on Workshop" creates a new Steam Workshop item that others can import by subscribing to. Schematics imported this way can be deleted by unsubscribing from the item.
  
  • You can update your existing Steam Workshop schematics by clicking the right-most button → "Update Item".
    
  • If your workshop item has a description, it will be replaced by the schematic's in-game description upon updating, so be sure to backup the description text beforehand.
• "Copy to Clipboard" copies a text code that can be pasted as text anywhere, which others can then copy and import by clicking "Import Schematic..." → "Import from Clipboard" in the schematic menu.
  
  • If a text code is pasted in the official Mindustry Discord[discord.gg], the Core bot will automatically replace your message with a file and an image of the schematic, with attribution to you.
• "Export File" exports a file that others can import by clicking "Import Schematic..." → "Import File" in the schematic menu.

Regarding downloading from steam workshop without owning it on steam, you could try steamcmd. I own the game so I can not check if it would work if you don’t own it, but it works like that:


$ steamcmd
Steam>login <**username**> <**password**> <**OTP**>
Steam>workshop_download_item 1127400 2400958544

Thank you for letting me know.

No, unless a text code was also provided. You can also try your best to recreate the schematic from the rendered image.

I got the game from the developer's website on Itch instead of Steam, is there a way I can download schematics from the Steam Workshop to use them in my game even though Steam doesn't recognize my copy?

When I was just starting out, this helped a great deal! Thank you for uploading :)
