Mirrors/Flips a blueprint in hand. WARNING: if you are using factorio 1. 0 or factorio >= 0. 18. 37 then you must use the workaround below: - Grab the blueprint from the new blueprint interface - Drop it in the inventory to make a copy. (there is a row of buttons across the top one of has the letter C on it that is the copy button fot the print that is highlighted) - Grab that copy - The flip buttons work on this copy. This issue is not fixable for now, due to Factorio API limitation.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap in vanilla Factorio—no built-in flip for blueprints.
- Nearly 60k downloads show it's been tried by a lot of players.
- Simple concept: flip blueprints in hand, no complex setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Negative endorsement score (-4.7) suggests some players had issues or disliked it.
- Workaround required for newer versions is clunky—grab, drop, copy.
- Compatibility risk: may not work seamlessly with all modded blueprint setups.
This is for Factorio players who frequently design symmetrical bases and want to mirror blueprints without rebuilding. It's also for those who are okay with a manual workaround on newer versions. If you're on an older version (pre-0.18.37), it might work more smoothly.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Factorio 1.0 or 0.18.37+, follow the workaround: grab the blueprint from the new interface, then drop it in your inventory to make a copy before flipping.
- Use the copy in your inventory to flip—this avoids issues with the new blueprint interface.
- Test flipping on a simple blueprint first to see how it handles mirrored entities like splitters or underground belts.
