Blueprints let you save a section of factory, a whole production line, or a piece of architecture, and stamp it down again instantly instead of rebuilding it by hand. Unlike your inventory or progress, blueprints aren't automatically synced to a dedicated server, they have to be uploaded manually into the right folder. This guide covers finding your blueprint files and getting them onto your MintServers server correctly.
Step 1: Find Your Blueprint Files
Each blueprint you've created locally is made up of two files:
.sbp, the actual layout and structure data. This one is required..sbpcfg, the icon and description shown in the blueprint menu. Optional, blueprints still work without it, they'll just show a generic icon with no description.
On your own PC, these live in %LocalAppData%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints\, inside a subfolder named after the session the blueprint was created in. If you're downloading a blueprint from a community site instead of using one of your own, grab both files if they're offered.
Step 2: Upload Them to the Matching Session Folder
- Stop your server on the MintServers panel.
- Open the Files tab and navigate to
.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/. - Check the
serverfolder one level up if you're not sure of your session's exact name, it needs to match precisely. - If a folder matching your session name doesn't already exist inside
blueprints, create one. - Upload your
.sbpfile (and.sbpcfgif you have it) into that folder. - Start your server back up.
📁 SaveGames
📁 blueprints
📁 YourSessionName (must match exactly)
📄 MyFactory.sbpcfg
Step 3: Use It In-Game
Once your server is back up, open the Blueprint Designer menu (default key B) in-game. Your uploaded blueprint should appear alongside any others created directly on that session.
If you're not sure how to get to your server's Files tab or need a refresher on managing saves in general, our guide to uploading an existing save covers similar ground. If your blueprint still isn't showing up after double-checking the folder name, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will be happy to take a look.
