So you want to know how so many other Space Engineers creators upload their Blueprints with all these awesome texts and logos? Well, here is a short and easy to follow guide on how to do so.


- Blueprint your build that you wish to upload by facing it, Ctrl and B at the same time.

- Take ingame screenshots, F12. Make it look interesting, look up Splitsie regarding this subject on YouTube.

- Go to Steam, go under Screenshots, open the screenshot you want to edit.

- Copy/Paste the screenshot you'll be editing to a photo editor program, Photoshop, Paint, or whichever problem you prefer.

- Once the edited picture is complete, save as a PNG to your pictures folder on your computer. (you can name it whatever you'd like to keep track of things, a dedicated folder for the pictures is recommended)

- Go to the Start menu and click on the search bar, type in: %appdata%

- Two folders should pop up, click on the Roaming Space Engineers folder, click on the local Blueprints folder, find your Blueprint you're wanting to edit.

- Once the correct Blueprint is open, you will see two files and a picture titled "thumb", this is the current thumbnail of the BP. Delete the original "thumb" picture, copy/paste your edited screenshot and rename it "thumb", without the " " and just like the original.

- Double click the pasted in picture to ensure it is the correct one, if so, then simply back out of the folder.

- Go back ingame, press F10 to bring up the Blueprints menu, go to your Blueprint you wish to publish, click "edit" then "Publish". Ignore checking "Exploration" box, as I'm not 100% what that's for and just press "Ok".

The BP should load up and be published to the Workshop. There will be a Steam overlay pop up after the upload is complete. If all done correctly, you should see the only picture being the edited screenshot. Exit the overlay and go through Steam itself as the Overlay seems to not properly want to upload screenshots through it. (It is recommend to hide the BP until you finish editing the description and adding more screenshots)

- NOTE: The new thumbnail must be below 1MB for Steam to properly publish it.

- CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a edited thumbnail.
