Blueprinting



Blueprinting is a game feature in Mechanic Miner that allows you to make, save and share (through Steam Workshop) copies of constructions for later use.

How it works

 * To make a blueprint of a construction simply press B and then click the the construction you want to blueprint. You can make as many blueprints as you like.
 * To build a blueprint navigate to the blueprints tab in the construction panel, find the blueprint you want to build and click it. The construction will now appear in your inventory. It's only possible to build a blueprint if you have the required parts unlocked and the resources needed (unless you're in Creative Mode)
 * To edit a blueprint navigate to the blueprints tab in the construction panel. Find the blueprint you want to edit and click edit then click on a construction, a new blueprint of that construction will now overwrite the selected blueprint.
 * To delete a blueprint navigate to the blueprints tab in the construction panel. Find the blueprint you want to delete and click delete.

Steam Workshop
It's possible to upload and download blueprints to and from the Steam Workshop.

Uploading blueprints to the Steam Workshop
To upload a blueprint to the Steam Workshop navigate to the blueprints tab in the construction panel. Find the blueprint you want to upload and click Upload. A popup-box will appear and you can now give your blueprint a title and a description, when done hit Upload and wait for the confirmation.

Downloading blueprints from the Steam Workshop
To upload a blueprint to the Steam Workshop navigate to the blueprints tab in the construction panel. Click the Workshop tab placed on the top of the box, now click the button that says Get more steam workshop content. This will open the Steam overlay and navigate you to the Mechanic Miner Steam Workshop. When you find a blueprint you want to download from the Steam Workshop click Subscribe and close the Steam overlay. After a few seconds the chosen blueprint will show in the blueprint folder in the Workshop tab. To remove a downloaded blueprints simply navigate to the Steam Workshop again and click Unsubscribe. There's no limit on how many Steam Workshop blueprints you can have.
