Blueprint Flip and Turn

by NovaM

Mirrors/Flips a blueprint in hand. WARNING: if you are using factorio 1.0 or factorio >= 0.18.37 then you must use the workaround below: - Grab the blueprint from the new blueprint interface - Drop it in the inventory to make a copy. (there is a row of buttons across the top one of has the letter C on it that is the copy button fot the print that is highlighted) - Grab that copy - The flip buttons work on this copy. This issue is not fixable for now, due to Factorio API limitation.

Hello,

I'm not playing Factorio for a while, but I'm still trying to maintain this mod.
Can you make a simple test for me ?
Can you run a refresh game with only my blueprint_flip_and_turn (18.5.0 or 18.5.4) ?
And let me know if blueprint_flip_and_turn runs correctly.

I need to know :
- if there is something changed in factorio 0.18.37 or
- if there is a conflict with one of your listed mods

Thanks in advance!
Regards,

Close Blueprint book.
Now u see the Blueprint.. and there is where i cant flip or mirror.

Workaround for me is to grab the blueprint from the new blueprint interface and drop it in the inventory to make a copy. Grab that copy and the flip buttons work again.

adiz75, how exactly do you "make a copy"? I only see it move from the library to inventory, after I "copy" it it's not in the library anymore.

I'm not using the new "C" copy button, I just drop the blueprint I hold in my hand into my inventory. So if I open my blueprints with "B", pick up a blueprint from the right, either Game- or My blueprints then the flip buttons doesn't work. If I drop the blueprint to the left, inventory/character, then pick it up again from there, the flip work.

Hank there is a row of buttons across the top one of has the letter C on it that is the copy button fot the print that is highlighted.

I'm still digging in the documentation to find the way to access the blueprint that is currently manipulated by the player's...
until I found the proper way, the mod only access to the player's cursor stack... and you should use the workaround described below by adiz75.

Blueprints dont work for me to flip and mirror. Any fix for this?

@mkdr, even when you use the workaround described above ?

I can confirm this problem in F 1.0.0 BFT 18.7.0 that flip/turn ONLY works when the BP is picked up from player inventory (regardless of how it got there). However once you have picked up the BP from player inventory the usual buttons in the top left corner of the screen operate BACKWARDS -- aka the vertical flip button flips the bp side to side, and the side flip button flips the bp vertically.

Same problem.
Works from inventory.
Doesn't work from book mode.

Even the workaround of clicking into the book and selecting one and then use the flip and mirror shortcuts dont work anymore for me and I dont know why that worked a few days ago still.

Still working for me if I remove the blueprint from the book, flip it, and then I can put it back into the book when I'm done.. It's a bit of a pain but usable until ou manage to sort out a workaround to the change.
Such a useful mod though, thanks for your efforts !

Put it on the inventory works! But it is sure a bug. Try to mantain this mod please! Thank you so much!!!!

@mogiaro I know the issue, but I don't have solution for now.

i was having this prob too and tried the inventory it worked but should mention that curved rails and rail stops should be removed from the bp before use and added manually i have 200+ active mods so i had to check

remove curved rails and train stops before flipping
