Intermittent Crashes related to Blueprints
So I am looking for help as I am getting tired of rebuilding blueprints.
I am playing a single player mod playthrough and am building blueprints to help with scale. For some reason the blueprints I create work and then sometimes randomly later when I try to use the same one again it will immediately crash the game when I place it down. Other times its fine until I try to dismantle the blueprint or a part of one. Today I encountered a new crash where I tried to change the recipe and it would crash when I opened the machine screen on a machine inside the BP maker.
Originally I was using the Universal Color Swatch mod to color machines in blueprints. Noticed pretty quickly that sometimes they would load but some buildables would not have colors applied and instead be all black. A few seconds to a minute later game crashed. Removed all this and it seemed fine.
Now later I am having new issues with crashing. To save time I reuse blueprints, opening one editing and then saving it as a new name. Seems logical right, well today I think I stumbled upon a possible root cause of it not liking this because every time I did this the new BP worked and the original one would cause the game to crash when placed or loaded. In order to move forward I delete the bad BP and rebuild it, save it and it seemed to work fine.
Next thing I know I loaded up the game and started placing some BPs down, a few minutes later the game crashed. Not sure what could have happened I loaded up again, this time when I looked at my BPs two of them had been moved from their organized category and subcategory to the Uncategorized section. This along with the resaving as a new name issue makes me feel like something is causing blueprints to be corrupted or they aren't being found in some sort of directory where they should be.
Currently the only two mods being used in blueprints are the daisy chain one for power and the Advanced Logistics for adjustable splitters and mergers. No clue what to do.
