Allow blueprint & co to travel with us into space

Post by Stargateur »

Currently you need empty inventory to travel to space, it's annoying when you are like me and have often blueprint, deconstruction and upgrade planner blueprint in your inventory. This should not prevent player to go to space.

Anyone puts them in game blueprint ?

Before travelling, when the message tell you to remove them, so you can access them later. I didn't do that before space age x)

I do but that annoying I use my inventory as "temporary blueprint that I currently work on or temporary modify" filling my library with random blueprint is annoying. This library is supposed to be my "clean bookmark" place. If the game let me place bookmark into my inventory I want to be able to go to place with them.

Another point in favor of this:

Blueprints and upgrade plans are not removed when you enable "trash unrequested" in personal logistics. There isn't a straightforward way to add them with the logistics robots when you get back either. This means you must manually discard and recover these items each time you come and go as extra steps.

I think the most intuitive solution is to allow these items to travel.

Extend it to all abstract items: red and green wires, spidertron and artillery remotes, and modded abstract items should also be allowed.

I use the "game blueprint" for that, and my clean blueprint goes into "my blueprint", the one that is kept over several games., 100% recommend

How do you make a spidertron or an artillery remote nowadays or even a red wire to travel with ?

I tried but i think it's impossible to travel with them because they don't exist anymore. It's like when you have a blueprint in the "game library", it's an abstract item that you can access from anywhere without having to travel with it, contrary to having the blueprint as a physical item, which you can't travel with.

[SA] Allow blueprint-like entities while entering the rocket silo

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
(Space Age only) Blueprint-like entities (blueprint, BP book, upgrade/decon planners, etc.) should be allowed in the inventory while entering the rocket silo.
Why?
Multiple reasons to do so:
  • These abstract entities are ignored for the auto-trashing, so disabling all requests leaves them in the inventory
  • Character's inventory still exists while on the space platform -- if you make such abstract entity while in the remote view -- it will be put to the character's inventory and later will be accessible from it (or can be accessed via taskbar if initially placed there)
  • As was said on Discord, the "empty inventory" check is done on C-part of the game, so it can't be changed/fixed/worked-around by mods.

None of these items should ever be in your inventory for long. They take up space, and can be lost when you die or trash your items by mistake.

That's what the blueprint library is for. Press B and put them there. It has a tab for "global" blueprints for your player, and for "current game".

I know that blueprint library exists. I use it a lot, but some things are not for the library.

By the way: If there is some weird technical issue with implementing that: Why not remove the ability to have blueprints in your inventory completely and have a special section/book in the game blueprints for "automatically created blueprints" instead of putting them into inventory?
