How to Import and Export Sandustry Blueprints
DIRECT ANSWER
Press C for select mode, mark the structure, and press Ctrl+C; Ctrl+V pastes the current selection. To save it, open Building → Blueprint and use the save icon beside a recent Clipboard History item. Blueprint Import and Export use a shareable blueprint string. Ctrl+H flips a copied or selected structure. These are default bindings and may differ after rebinding.

Copy a structure into clipboard history
The official FAQ describes the current default-key path.
- Press C to enter select mode.
- Mark the structure you want to copy.
- Press Ctrl+C to copy it.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste the current copied structure.
- Press Ctrl+H to flip the copied or selected structure.
Turn a recent copy into a named Blueprint
Open Building → Blueprint. In Clipboard History, use the save icon on a recent item and give it a name. This turns a transient copy into a reusable Blueprint entry; the source does not publish a filesystem location for that entry.
Share a blueprint string—not a promised file format
Use Export to create a string that can be copied and shared. Use Import and paste a received string into the dialog. Cross-version behavior, modded or locked buildings, clipboard persistence, and platform compatibility remain undocumented.
