Create a set piece / blueprint / recipe of my base

[caittorr]

I always make the same base layout, and I'm sick of always having to redo it every time I start a new game. I'm trying to figure out how to combine the idea of a set piece and a blueprint (not a Don't Starve blueprint, a real blueprint). I want to create my base, in-game, then somehow copy it all and create a blueprint out of it, or like a set piece. Then in another save, I'd like to collect all the materials necessary and have the base layout as a recipe and be able to place it like an item. 

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, but none of the other posts really explain how to do this.
