How do I get a blueprint string?

Don't have the original any more, but will make a new one of the area and see if it will happen again.

I had forgotten about this topic after making that first post then wasn't in that area of my factory for quite a while

Exported the blueprint via Foreman

Doesn't appear to be a problem with this mod. I managed, using your blueprint, to flip it horizontally, place it, building it till I ran out of components, waiting for ghosts to run out and then placing the blueprint again on top of half built factory, without problems. Really don't know what is the problem at your side.

Keep getting an error when trying to flip a blueprint that contains only Concrete/Stone flooring.

"Error while running the event handler:
__blueprint_flipper__/contol.lua:7: attempt to get length of local 'ents' (a nil value)"

I'm sure it's because when getting a blueprint of flooring, you cannot have any entities otherwise it copies them and not the flooring.
Any possibility of adding a way to cope with floor-only blueprints?

Maybe it was just a random bug then.
I figured it was because the first half of poles that were placed got lines placed between them and then trying to place the 2nd one over top resulted in the lines conflicting.

Version 0.1.3 out with the fix. Now it's possible to flip blueprints with tiles.

Flipping a blueprint with storage tanks in it does not correctly rotate the tanks, it appears tanks are not rotated at all when the blueprint is flipped. This causes the tanks to no longer connect with pipes/other components in a flipped blueprint. I believe the solution is as simple as always rotating tanks when a blueprint is flipped since I can always fix the setup by manually rotating each tank. The issue is probably related to the only two rotation states of tanks.

The normal buttons work, but there are extra buttons in text for flipping vertically and horizontally. Is there a way to migrate or something to use this mod with an existing save without the extra buttons?
