Hmmm welp I still prefer not using Bp editing as you said, maximizing it's potential ;):p
Yeah, I definitely enjoy maximizing the stock game. Though I wouldn’t mind getting a chance to mess around with BP editing one day!

This isn’t really a design, but a good tip.
I feel like at some point in everyone’s SFS career they have to make a circle.

With this website you can make a perfect circle by inputting the necessary digits. You can also make an oval, which is also very useful.

I've used that pcg in MC a lot...

This design I doubt anyone will ever need to use unless they build really big ships.
I present to you all:
The big chain

I used this chain in a build to show how it can be used. I used this chain to make what I would say is the best anchor anyone has ever built.

When gigantic Ever Given? :p

whats wrong with bp edit
It's unrequired and over-rated, causes blueprint instabilities when upgrading versions and parts re-size when docking.

Other than that it's perfectly fine.
Welp Horus just said it, Epic.

I disagree, I find it very useful. It feels very grindy though, since you have to constantly switch between the app and the editor.
causes blueprint instabilities when upgrading versions
If you mean the upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5, that's understandable. BP editing in 1.5 is so different (better, at least from my experience) than in 1.4. I doubt that the way blueprints work will be changed since Stef worked so long on the new system.
parts re-size when docking.
Only if you stretch parts using the orientation values, which can be easily avoided in 1.5 since a lot of the parts have their own specialized values for their dimensions.
Other than that it's perfectly fine.
Wait, do you mean that sarcastically or not?

Well, each to their own but I've never needed it in 3 years of playing SFS. It's a nice to have, not a need to have. Hence unrequired and hugely over-hyped.

There are levels of sarcasm in that sentence that I had to pull from different dimensions to reach the required amounts of sarcasm I wanted to convey.

I got a question, how do you make circular shapes?
I Believe he already said it once...
I don’t see where she mentioned it, but it probably isn’t too hard to recreate (or at least get close to) just from looking at it. Seems like mostly fairings, with a few fuel tanks mixed in.

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see one.
What’s a PCG? And the circles are different. The donut hole is made of fairings but the small circle is made of fuel tanks
