TLDR
Grabbing a new blueprint (or deconstruction planner) and clearing cursor (pressing q) causes the blueprint to vanish instead of going into inventory.


When trying to grab five new blueprints I usually go to the blueprint library and then, five times, getting a new blueprint and then pressing q. I then expect five empty blueprints in my inventory, but the inventory is unchanged. Grabbing an old blueprint from the inventory and pressing q does return it but not when grabbing a new one from the library

This is not a bug, this is a feature. As long as you don't explicitly click the inventory they would go away. There is no reason to put empty blueprints into an inventory.

bp/decon on shift-4 and shift-5 was bread-n-butter handy.

You can still do it on purpose if you really want to.

Was expecting that to still work but I guess there is less need for multiple empty blueprints with the new copy-paste feature. (Haven't started to play with it yet) But when designing something new with rails it is handy to have more than one paste option.

You can still use copy paste, and when you press paste and click into inventory, the paste result is inserted as a blueprint.
