Blueprints & Groups
Two systems turn one-block-at-a-time building into real construction: blueprints (templates you build toward) and groups (finished builds you capture and move as one object).
Blueprints
A blueprint is a ghostly template of a structure. You place the blueprint, then fill it in with the required blocks until it’s complete — at which point it becomes the real thing.
How it works:
- Place a blueprint in the world. It appears as a translucent guide showing exactly which blocks go where.
- The blueprint tells you the required items (which blocks and how many).
- Build into it by placing the matching blocks in the marked spots.
- When complete, the blueprint turns into the finished object — most importantly, crafting stations (workbench, kitchen, etc.) are built this way.
Notes:
- A freshly-placed blueprint is temporary — it expires after 24 hours if you don’t finish it, so commit to building it.
- Template blueprints accept any variant of a block; non-template blueprints want exact matches.
- This is the main way you unlock crafting infrastructure — see Crafting.
Groups
A group packages a chunk of your build — the voxels and any placeables inside it — into a single object you can pick up, move, copy, and re-place anywhere.
Creating a group
Select a region (a bounding box) around your build and capture it as a group. Creating a group costs Bling (the in-game currency) scaled to its size. The group remembers its blocks, contained placeables, an optional name/label, and who created it.
What you can do with a group
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Place | Drop the whole structure back into the world, with rotation/mirroring. |
| Clone | Stamp a copy at a new location (doesn’t consume the original). |
| Move | Pick it up and set it down elsewhere. |
| Repair | Rebuild any missing/broken voxels back to the saved state. |
| Restore | Revert the whole group to its original “as-created” condition. |
| Capture | Add the group to your inventory as a portable item. |
| Ungroup | Dissolve the group back into loose blocks. |
Groups are perfect for prefab houses, modular farm plots, or selling/gifting a build to another player.
Tip: Combine the two — build a structure, capture it as a group, then clone it across your land to mass-produce identical buildings.
