What is "diagram design limit reached?"

[forest oak]

Hi guys I'm trying to build a castle but it's telling me that I've reached the design limit and cannot place down anymore items, however I've seen some posts on here and you are using so many items much more than me so how does it work?

Afaik blueprints are limited in the number of objects they support probably all big builds don't use any blueprints at all (which is what I do) or consist of multiple blueprints

I don't have any materials. The good thing about blueprints is that there's an unlimited amount of materials. You just make your design, save it and just collect later, at least the design is done.

Can I still use the blueprint? It's 80% incomplete but I got the layout I wanted

[stoic wyvern]

I mean you probably can still just build it and add to it

I was going to ask that. Is it possible to have a half built building in the blueprint, use it, collect all the materials, build it and then make another blueprint to add the build. Or does it disappear from the world?

Why should something you built disappear from the world?

I mean in the blueprint mode because it's your world but it's like a copy no? I don't really know how to describe it. You still die and get hurt inside of it, but you can't go too far out of the diagram you've created, and the map doesn't work. Some things in that world just disappear too. When I was doing the stone pagoda quest, I went into blue print mode, and the whole stone pagoda disappeared until I went out of the world.

Your builds isn't something that is apart of the world originally, just something that you've created and put inside of it. So that's why I was wondering if it works. If you make another blueprint would the buildings that you've built disappear in that world, or would it stay and you can add to it.

Once you have built something or actually filled the blueprint and not just placed the blueprint it should stay. Granted it has to reload every time you go too far away from the building but generally it stays
