Hi everybody, I stopped playing this game back in september, i was thrilled with it, sunk alot of hours into it, about 50 of which in one particular CV that appears i cant get back on my own. Was just wondering if there is still a way someone with an older version of the game can help me figure out how to convert it into a blueprint i can now use (i've never created a blueprint, very lost here). The ship was very dear to me, i spent 3 or 4 days straight building it non-stop, was in heaven when i finished it, but now that i don't know how to get it back im worried i might just drop the game again over it. Any suggestions or assistance is welcome, thanks. Very stoked to see how well this game has been doing edit: i believe the game build was either 3.0.0 or 3.1.0 at the time, pre alpha
Do you have an accessible save game that has the ship in it? If so it should be possible to create a Blueprint of it. If you are able to get into the game with the ship, simply get close to it, put your crosshair over any part of the ship, and press Right Alt + O. You'll have a box pop up, in which you will type the name you want it saved as. Type it in, click the confirm button, and the BP is saved! Now, to spawn a BP that you have saved. Open your inventory (TAB bu default now, I believe) and click the Blueprints button. Find the vessel you wish to spawn in the list and click on it. Now, if you're in Creative, you can just click "Spawn" and you will see a wireframe box in front of you. If it's Blue, you're clear to spawn it there. If it's Red, looks for any obstructions and look for a more open area to spawn it. if you're in Survival, you'll start by clicking "To Factory." You'll be taken to a screen which shows you what resources are needed to produce your ship, and a small box at the bottom. Drop any resources you want to contribute into the box (you can also drop stuff like guns/thrusters/etc as long as it contains some resources that are needed for the BP). Once you've got enough resources, you can start producing the BP. It will take a while to build, depending o how complex/big it is. When it's done, just click the "Spawn" button like you would in Creative, and you can spawn it in. Let me know if this has you more confused than before
