Where is the Blueprint storage directory?
Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:39 pm
What is the name of the blueprint storage directory? I have a DRM build ive been using and strictly sticking with solely because, the 15.3.0 build has literally all my blueprints. I seen in some of my other factorio builds of the 15.3.0 having a blueprint-storage.dat file. But i cannot find the one that explicitly is connected to my actively used 15.3.0 build. Photos for reference are attached. If anyone can guide me towards where this file is so i can migrate/move it to my actively played factorio version (15.3.X+ onward) so i can keep my blueprint library intact and migrated with any factorio instance i play, i'd really appreciate it!
*NOTE*
I know blueprint-storage.dat is stored in the %appdata%/Factorio for the STEAM and msi installer instance. As for the standalone instances i cannot find them, where i would assume they'd normally be at the root directory of the factorio build. In this case Factorio_0.15.3\blueprint-storage.dat
Just hoping im looking in the wrong direction or theirs a save issue going on. Seems to only be viewable when in my specific save file which is also attached.
Edit: The uploaded picture "Blueprint updating" is the blueprint intransit to the host system, as i threw a server up to keep active to distribute blueprints, seems to be working fine. But the issue still stands, with loading the blueprints outside of the existing Factorio_0.15.3 to another factorio instance (through steam build, or another DRM build window). Seems attached to the Map loaded T1.zip and then loading another map to load up my blueprints copy. Tried a different machine Dell Latitude 3540, vs using a Clevo machine, and the machines results are different. Also tried loading the system off the network, and leaving on my main network the server up, to test blueprint distribution. It seems to work, if i login to the "Steam" account of my supernet2 profile, and then transfer over one by one, the blueprints from the server i left up "!.Rushtooptimize" to the other profile i have which is tethered to my steam one (which i thought linking on your website factorio.com) would actually sync my blueprints to my account (i suppose that isn't so). Still haven't been able to generate the blueprint-storage.dat on either the steam build or the Independent builds (the .zip or .msi installer builds)
