Additionally it is really hard to remove certain tiles in the blueprint editor when the blueprint get quite big.

I probably spend half my time with Factorio in the map editor. For a sandbox where I can work on blueprints without burning through resources or passively letting the evolution factor rise.

Cheating is subjective.
I would say using external blueprints designed by someone else is cheating.
Biters would say using external blueprints ... I agree "sometimes" cheating is subjective.

I think adding this filter to the blueprint editor would still be a good solution for this issue since it doesn't require the extra steps of using an upgrade planner.

... ZIP Standalone, using a second (or fourth) monitor. I switch between Editor mode or “playing the game” as needed. Blueprints strings can be Copy-Pasted easily enough between Windows.

It may not be a perfect solution, but it works and doesn’t require any Mods!

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.

Regards,

... 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

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:

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:

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 ...
