Hi,

I would like to zoom in/out in the blueprint editor.

Sometimes i want to see what other people did, but i can't see the details of a blueprint.

... In the meantime you can use https://factorio.tmin10.ru/ to decode a blueprint, copy it to a text editor, search and replace, and then copy it back to the website. Ive done this many times when I want to make a lot of changes to a bunch of stuff that would be tedious in game.

... this less annoying and I realize I can just put the upgrade plan in my blueprint book.

Also being able to use the delete marquee in the blueprint editor would be nice.

Thanks

edit a blueprint definitely isn't the best experience. Same for working with big blueprints without zoom.

Ugh, big blueprints are nearly unusable ... s doing without at least ghost-placing it.) I suuuper want a blueprint editor, where I can just move around and zoom in and out, and place and remove ...

I would love some kind of in-game editor now that remote view is a thing. I've always found Factorio to have a big problem with incentivizing the player to close their game and open a sandbox save any time they want to design something new, which doesn't work in multiplayer and is a poor play ...

The blueprint editor enforces a limit of 500 characters on the 'Description' textbox. With the introduction of parameterised blueprints, you can easily have a blueprint which requires more than 500 characters to explain all the requirements, parameters, and instructions for use. I propose that the limit ...

TL;DR
Allow blueprints to dynamically expand parameters at placement, generating additional parameters within the same blueprint element. This removes ... ensuring only provided values appear in the final blueprint.

In the Editor:
- The designer defines a parameter (Cargo) with an "Expandable ...

TL;DR
Add an option for blueprint parameters to dynamically hide or remove associated elements when left blank, ensuring cleaner and more modular designs.

This suggestion is adding the ability to choose between in the blueprint editor per parameter:
- Use Default (Existing Behavior) : Retain ...

TL;DR
Allow to edit blueprints directly in preview, especially signals and wires.

What?
We can already right click on entities to remove them from ... nothing will merge. Allowing us to change as much as possible in entity editor screen would be most user friendly and natural way. It shouldn't be that ...

My idea: Blueprints which deconstructs every matching real item it has inside.

Add it either:
- as right-click action
- as a mode to enable with a button press
- a toggle inside the blueprint's editor (toggle should change color of the blueprint from blue to purple or so)

This can help with large ...

But possibly we can use various sandbox-oriented blueprints, which supply you with all of these.

P.S. I just opened Factorio 2.0 first time, but I have played a lot in 1.0.

Append:
I have found a Time tab in the editor :). So, looks like we could use the editor with 1x time ...

... guys !

I’d love to see a feature allowing us to rotate and mirror blueprints directly in the blueprint editor. Currently, I create blueprints as I complete builds (e.g., loading stations facing north , unloading stations facing west ), which results in inconsistent orientations within themed ...

TL;DR
Add confirmation dialog for blueprints & blueprints variables editors which prevents losing blueprint changes, same as done for the interrupts.

Subj. One-line change.

Why?

The same is already done for the train interrupts editor

This a fantastically useful feature ... if those item requests were in some way modifiable from the blueprint editor window. Currently they cannot even be parameterised. This means that to ...
