[SOLVED] Find lost designs / blueprints?

[AndrzejL.eu]

Hi all,

Quick question.

I have placed a steel chest on the ground (on purpose - I did not want robots to mess with it) and I have unloaded all my needed however temporarily unwanted items from my inventory in said chest... and I accidentally marked it for destruction and 2.5 seconds later the chest was gone and so were all my designs and blueprints.

I open the map (M) and press CTRL + F to search but neither "blueprint" or "design" shows the location of the chest that the little buggers stashed my designs in...

I would rather NOT search for them manually - is there a way to find my designs or are they lost forevah...

I have the latest basic (no dlc) version of the game installed via steam.

Kindest regards.

GOT THEM... Hahaha... I have decided to play a detective...

I have placed a chest on the ground with a blueprint in it (I created it quickly on the spot) and marked chest for destruction. When robot flew over to demolish it I followed it:

and since robots like to store "similar" items in the same chest:

it has lead me right to my blueprints...

Marking as solved.

Kindest regards.

Could we have blueprints added to the list of searchable items in the future tho?

Another possibility would be to have blueprints/planners be something a requester chest could ask for. Then the logistic bots could gather them up in one place. I've run into similar issues when I have to get rid of planners in order to travel to another planet and if you aren't careful it's easy to misplace them.

If the blueprints are in a storage/provider chest, you can find the location in Logistic network window - click the blueprint among the items and it will show the chest's location.
And it seems a requester chest can indeed request blueprints and bots will deliver them.

That was a good idea for finding them! I don't know if I would have thought of that.

Oh... That makes it very easy...

Yes, Muche's idea is good indeed.

Thank you all for your comments / ideas!

Kindest regards.
