Hey there Ylanders!

Many times I was asked if we’re going to have ships and cars in blueprints. We already have houses, which you guys love (and we do too), but the questions kept coming and understandably so. It would be so cool to get the needed resources and then just plop your majestic steampunk ship you’ve been working on for so long and start exploring. We took this suggestion to heart and started working on implementing this and making it reality. In fact @Khanecz has been working his behind off for quite some time, but finally, we can say, that with the release, you’ll be able to capture any car and ship you create and use it later as a blueprint.  And it doesn’t matter which boat hull you use, be it the small one, large one or the new Catamaran ship, that’ll also be available come release. This way you’ll always travel in style in Exploration. And while you won’t be able to capture blueprints on your mobile devices, you will be able to use them and download them from the shop ?

And while we’re talking about everything blueprinty, we’ll also be adding a lot of cool premium blueprints you’ll be able to purchase for Coyns. A few highlights: the cousin of the dreaded Red Baron, the Crimson Train! This baby will get you anywhere in style. The Buggy, on the other hand, loves the feeling of sand under its tires and the large ship blueprint is fast and agile, ready for any adventure in a hurry. But we’ll also release some free blueprints to get you started, like the little basic ship, a basic car and some nice wooden buildings. Connected to this will also be the discontinuation of some of the older blueprints, which we found as not visually pleasing anymore and out of style. Those of you, that bought these or downloaded them will still be able to use them after release, but they won’t be available in the store.

So what will you make into blueprints and are you looking forward to whizzing around in your favourite car and ship around all the new and improved Ylands? Well we sure are ?

if the devs rework the blueprint system yes  

 

actually it isnt possible to create blueprints in editor or creative while it only works in exploration mode

[Bob Salvador 82]

you can create blueprints in editor @Dead8Eye after you creat your build, you just have to load a exploration map add the camera an hammer and a steal ingot and your creation, after that play the game, repair your barrer, and creat the blueprint EZ.

i know how it works and it is the only way for creating blueprints actually. but now try to make blueprints in exploration mode from ships while youre swimming in the water. 

or what happened with that, if your structure is too high for creating a blueprint with your camera? you have no "blueprint creating mode" or first person sight for mapping the structures easly. 

cool will be a tab in the editor, where you can create directly own spawnable blueprints for the exploration mode and a better blueprint creating setup for the camera ingame.

actually you can save compositions and groups as spawnable "blueprints" in the editor, but not ingame directly. this is my issue  and for new players too. 

the most guys want to play the exploration mode directly and build they own blueprints in the editor, if they know how the editor works at first. 

actually it is too much work for creating own creations only for spawn them as blueprint into the world, MP or SP so you need a rework of the blueprint creation system before. 

 

and i know what iam speaking about:

Since the feature doesn't exist at this point, none of us can tell you how it works.
