Blueprints , we need them , preferably asap

[Varenvel]

Hello , im playing you guys game for a while , but my biggest bug bear is alweys "end game" where more often then not you need to build large machines , power plants or things to exchange resources you have abundant into something you need

who would be all fine and dandy if not it takes loads of time to plan , even more to build , and then you find out you made mistake or two , rinse and repeat

and then you build something impressive , and oops new update rolled in , they added creatures so "got to restart the map again and lose everything i build"

i am aware there is dev mode and copy pasting stuff but...i really dont like using the mode , especially it renders and loads all map and with creature update i had actual case for slicksters almost all dyeing out before i was able to reach them

We need proper blueprint system , and there are various ways this could be done , preferred it would not involve dupes but would need power so you can create these vacuum chambers or storage tanks with already vacuum in it if it was already build by you and finished

could be mini robots like factorio , or "blueprint block" like buildcraft(minecraft mod) who saves blueprint of thing you build and can build it using a block who then renders 3d blueprint and builds it using power and blocks/items provided

 

there could be few other ways to do this but wanted to share these i know

Your insight could have been in that post as well. Making multiple posts about the same thing is difficult for the devs to track.
