It would be AWESOME if I could make a string or file or something out of my blueprint and post it on the forum or send it to a friend for import into their game. People LOVE coming up with cool compact or fast or whatever versions of their build, but the only way to try it yourself in game is to just start placing things manually while referencing and image.

I had this Idea myself some time ago. It would be very useful if I could import my old Blueprints from other Map to a new one. It doesnt make the game easier coz you have to build all the roboport-things first. But it would save some time to construct your best layouts again in every map.

It could be implemented with a new building. working title "Subspace Data Storage" or something ^^ You can Upload your Blueprints to this Database once constructed, and can Download every Blueprint from it, consuming some materials and putting out one Blueprint.

Bump for a good idea.
This would make sharing blueprints a lot easier for everyone.
