Killkrog's Blueprint Manager

What is it?

For ages I used Foreman and Blueprint Flipper. At some point updates came too slow and/or bugs got too many. So I decided to write my own mod that implements the functionality of both mods. The GUI is heavily based on Foreman, even though everything in the mod is written completely by myself (except for the libraries).

What does it do?

KBM allows you to save blueprints/blueprint books that you create, so that you can use them later again, even if you did not save the actual item itself all the time. Those saved entries can be exported to and imported from files again, to make it easier to use your favourite layouts on different maps.
The mod also lets you flip blueprints horizontally and vertically.

What other mods are supported?

You can import blueprints created with Blueprint Strings.
The 90° and diagonal inserters from "Yuoki Industries" are flippable.

How to use it?

Manual can be found in the forum post for this mod. (Click the "homepage" link!)

What about Factorio 0.15?

Factorio's newest version implemented the blueprint library directly in the game.
While that in itself is a great step to do, the developers didn't give us any way to interact programmaticaly with it.
With the interface of the blueprint library being so... let's call it unclear, I still see the need for my addon.
Browsing the forum for a bit, I saw that apparently there are more people that wish for an direct access to the blueprint library from within addons.
If we are lucky and the devs will give us ways to access it, this addon will be converted to basically a wrapper - do the same thing as the built-in blueprint library does but use my clear UI to do it.

What is still going to come?

Waiting for the devs
