How to Upload Blueprints

How to Upload Blueprints to Dedicated Server

Blueprints allow you to instantly construct complex factories that you've designed previously. However, unlike your player inventory, blueprints are not automatically synced to dedicated servers. This guide covers everything from locating your local blueprints to troubleshooting upload issues on dedicated servers.

1. Blueprint Files

Blueprints consist of two files: .sbp (structure data) and .sbpcfg (icon/config data). Both files are required for a blueprint to work correctly.

2. Session-Based Storage

Blueprints are stored per-session on both your computer and the server. You must upload to the session folder matching your current server's save name.

3. Server Access Required

On dedicated servers, you need File Manager or SFTP access to upload blueprint files. The in-game blueprint designer cannot upload directly to servers.

1. Locate Your Local Blueprints

First, find the blueprints you have created in your single-player game or local session.

On Windows:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints\{SESSION_NAME}

Inside this folder, you will find pairs of files for each blueprint:

  • MyBlueprint.sbp (The structure data)
  • MyBlueprint.sbpcfg (The config/icon data)

2. Locate the Server's Blueprint Folder

You need to upload these files to your server. The location depends on your server's OS.

Linux Dedicated Server

The standard path is:

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/{Server_Session_Name}

Note: If the blueprints folder does not exist yet, you must create it manually, or unlock the Blueprint Designer in-game to force the server to generate it.

Windows Dedicated Server

Usually found in:

ServerInstallDir/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/{Server_Session_Name}

3. Uploading steps

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Connect via SFTP (FileZilla, WinSCP) or use your hosting File Manager.
  3. Navigate to the server's blueprint folder path mentioned above.
  4. Upload both the .sbp and .sbpcfg files for the blueprints you want.
  5. Start your server.

Troubleshooting

Blueprints not showing up in Designer?

  • Session Name Mismatch: Blueprints are stored per-session. Ensure you uploaded them to the folder matching your current save game name.
  • Unlock Requirement: You must have unlocking Blueprints (Tier 4) in the HUB terminal on the server before you can use them.
  • File Permissions: On Linux, ensure the user running the server has read/write permissions for the uploaded files (chmod 755).

Can I download blueprints online?

Yes, sites like Satisfactory-Calculator have thousands of community blueprints. Simply download the files and upload them using the steps above.
