Empyrion - Galactic Survival features a convenient blueprint-saving feature that lets players store selected ship layouts and build them from a variety of default options. These blueprints are also widely used for modded ships and are a great way to get a Beginner Ship. These blueprints will require lots of resources and potentially a factory for larger vessels, as they will take longer to construct. Blueprints can also be actively updated, allowing players to evolve their designs continually.
1. Press F2 or navigate to the Blueprint Menu to open Ship Blueprints.
2. To save a ship as a blueprint, look at the desired ship and press F2.
3. The resources required and ship info will both be displayed in the menu that appears.
4. Choose Save as to save the ship as a blueprint.
5. Name the blueprint and press Save.
6. Choose Spawn to place the new blueprint in the world.
7. Blueprints can also be sent to Factories, which are then constructed from the Factory tab.
8. After selecting spawn, place the ship in a clear area.
9. Ships can only be spawned and built if the appropriate Tech Tree Recipes are unlocked.
