Factorio isn't making a blueprint backup anymore

The game used to keep a backup for me, but ever since i actually used it once by deleting my current blueprints and renaming the backup to use it the game never generates another backup. How can i fix this?

Re: Cannot use Blueprints in 0.16.51 after switching back from 0.17.14

that button is simply not there for me for any of my blueprint books. I put them into my hotbar and all i can do is edit the name or delete. As for individual blueprints the export arrow only shows up if i place the blueprint on the ground and then use a new blueprint on it. Otherwise i can only edi...

Re: Cannot use Blueprints in 0.16.51 after switching back from 0.17.14

can you explain to me how to export a book? I can't see anything pointing to it in-game and even a google search has proven useless.

Re: Cannot use Blueprints in 0.16.51 after switching back from 0.17.14

ok i installed using the .zip file but now i am realizing how much a huge pain it would be to export/import. Can i not export/import whole books at a time? and do i have to place a blueprint and then use a new blueprint planner on it to export them one at a time? It would take hours doing it this wa...

Re: Cannot use Blueprints in 0.16.51 after switching back from 0.17.14

thank you for the workaround idea! I have installed a second instance on another drive but when i booted it up it gave me the same blueprint error. It appears as thought its using the same folder in AppData to store game data. How do i change that? Or am i misunderstanding something?

Cannot use Blueprints in 0.16.51 after switching back from 0.17.14

Afterword i reverted the game back to 0.16.51 and tried to load up a map from that same version. The game says : Loading blueprint...

Re: personal and regular roboport construction area overlap

Actually making the personal roboport's area color a darker green at all times would work just as well IMO.

when the two types of roboports (personal roboports and roboports) have overlapping construction areas the player cannot distinguish between them. This can cause difficulty when attempting to build using the personal roboport while in range of roboports. could you make the overlapping area a darker ...
