Please add remote view for blueprint editing

Post by Cronie »

I would love to edit blueprints directly. Often I make a tiny error and I have to paste the blueprint somewhere and make changes. I know you can remove items from a blueprint already, but I would like to be able to add items.

It would be nice if you had a remote view version of a blueprint ... so you can have the abilities you have in remote view, but in the blueprint window. So if I want to add a piece of pipe or a foundry, I can paste it directly in the blueprint. Also it would be nice to have zoom in/out ability which will help with larger blueprints.

Thanks for all the good work!

I would love some kind of in-game editor now that remote view is a thing. I've always found Factorio to have a big problem with incentivizing the player to close their game and open a sandbox save any time they want to design something new, which doesn't work in multiplayer and is a poor play experience besides.

Agreed. That would be an amazing thing to have, without it the blueprinting system feels clunky to use without mods. Having to look for in-world space outside of the roboport grid but inside the radar range to edit a blueprint definitely isn't the best experience. Same for working with big blueprints without zoom.
