[1.1.50] Blueprints lost when swapping computer

Hi,

I'd like to report a cloud save problem using multiple systems for Factorio. I have a desktop and a laptop, and I normally play on my desktop, but sometimes when I'm away from home I play on my laptop.

The problem I have is that if I swap between the two systems I lose blueprints that are NOT "game blueprints" / items:
  1. Saved game on desktop
  2. Load game on laptop (from steam cloud)
    - The blueprints in the "My blueprints" section are mostly gone, apart from some very old ones
  3. Play a bit anyway without them, save game
  4. Load game on desktop, "My blueprints" section now still only contains the very old blueprints
I have "Enable blueprint library Cloud Sync" enabled on both systems.

I think I can recover them following the instructions from another thread for now:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=94427&p=532312

But I don't think the game should be doing this. The blueprints should be transferring as well as the saves, but the laptop does not seem to be updating them? Let me know if more information would be helpful.

Cheers!
