While it's not immediately obvious (I stumbled over it by accident), landfill can be blueprinted as follows:
1) Go near a big lake out of roboport range
2) Equip landfill
3) Create landfill ghosts with shift-click in the lake; create whatever shape your blueprint should be
4) Capture the landfill in the lake with a blueprint as usual
Result: You have now a landfill blueprint, which makes filling large lakes easier.
Edit: As of 0.13.9, this doesn't work anymore

Nice tip! Definitely will make filling in large bodies of water much easier.
Re: Howto Blueprint Landfill
Don't forget you can increase and decrease the size of landfill just like concrete by using the + and - keys

What changed in 13.9? I skimmed some of the patch notes, and did searches for strings such as "blue" and "fill" and "land" but didn't find anything.saturn7 wrote:Edit: As of 0.13.9, this doesn't work anymore

It was changed in 0.13.7. Landfill was never intended to be blueprinted.Peter34 wrote:What changed in 13.9? I skimmed some of the patch notes, and did searches for strings such as "blue" and "fill" and "land" but didn't find anything.
