Blueprints don't follow steam user

Post by VimiZap »

Hi,

Recently I discovered that while switching which computer I played on, "My Blueprints" did not follow from one computer to the next, in contrast to the saves and "Game Blueprints". As I have two computers, one for at home and one for travelling, this is very inconvenient as I would not have access to my blueprints if I forgot or did not want to place them on the "Game Blueprints". Is this something you could fix so that "My Blueprints" would follow the steam user (in the same way as saves do essentially)?

There is an option "Enable blueprint library Cloud Sync" in Settings -> Other which is disabled by default.

However, there are circumstances where your remote blueprint library will be silently overwritten with an empty one, contrary to any reasonable expectation. I have seen numerous reports of this in the forum, and have experienced it myself after installing Factorio on another PC. I strongly recommend having a backup machanism in place.
