merged also that thread into here

Thanks Optera! (I remember I searched for “blueprint editor” instead of “blueprint edit*”.)

I would like to second...15th? this idea. I have been working on a little factory blueprint for 160+ hours and this is one of a couple things I have found that would greatly improve the QoL when working with large blueprints.

I'd like for this to be added to the game. Just a bump since there has been no activity on this in a seemingly long time.

[FuryoftheStars]

Yup, would be good to have!

[VampireSilence]

I was just about to suggest something similar, so +1 on this.

[ick] Merged two threads about zooming in the blueprint editing window.

I have the same problem. I like to edit (delete some items) in a big blueprint, but it is too small too see anything.

WE NEED THIS FEATURE zoom in/out in blueprint window!

YES or no devs?

I think the Editor Extensions mod has a "testing lab" that can serve this purpose in a normal game.

Zoom and pan controls in the blueprint screen would be a fantastic help.

[Noorphish]

should be a built in feature.
That´s not what a mod have to do...

I would like to be able to zoom the view of the blueprint contents in the blueprint edit window.

Larger blueprints are between difficult and impossible to accurately edit in the edit window because the items are too small to identify.

If I could zoom in and pan around in that view it would be easier to work from that window.
As it is I have to build the blueprint and use the map to zoom in and look around.

Made an account on the forum specifically to reply to and bump this - I have a base going right now where my blueprints have rail signals, small and medium power poles, and lamps that are maybe a couple pixels wide on either of my screens(a 17 inch 16:9 at 1920x1080 or a 24 inch 16:9 also at 1920x1080) - this makes it tremendously difficult to strip out small pieces without parting out blueprints on screen and hoping they're re-aligned properly when re-assembled. The alternate and equally less liked option is to make a blueprint book and make a lab-world type save, edit a built version of them, then re-blueprint and move back to the active world.

Can we please have the ability to zoom in and out on our blueprints within the editor screen??? And if not, please maybe write up why it can't happen(or why it hasn't been able to happen yet) in the next FFF?

Obviously, there is a fair amount of interest in this as there are 3+ pages of posts on just this specific topic.

Again, please - ability to ZOOM on our blueprints during editing!

i need to bump this idea.

Either a zoom or a bigger brush .

I tried to edit this blueprint of one part of my base because on the bottom 2 stations should not be included and it is a pain.

Brush over it -> save -> see what you missed -> repeat. So a zoom or a bigger brush would really help.

Hi,

I would like to zoom in/out in the blueprint editor.

Sometimes i want to see what other people did, but i can't see the details of a blueprint.

Regards,
Robert

Additionally it is really hard to remove certain tiles in the blueprint editor when the blueprint get quite big.
