Backing up your own blueprint files?

[Jeminyne]

Hello, I'm curious if anyone knows a good way of backing up your self-made blueprints, that doesn't involve uploading them to steam for others to see. I checked in program files > steam > steamapps > common > Planet Zoo > Blueprints, but all those files just seem to be the prefabs that come with the base game and it's DLCs. I can't find the ones that I made myself.

I don't want to upload them to steam, because most of them are other peoples' blueprints I placed down and re-saved as my own blueprints with a new name. (I've been doing this so I can find things easier; due to the useless tagging system I've resorted to just saving blueprints with codenames I understand and can filter.) So basically I wouldn't want to seem like I'm presenting other user's work as my own.

For this reason it would be nice if I could just back up the actual game files on a drive, for safe keeping. If anyone knows where those files are stored (or a better solution to my problem) I'd appreciate the help!

Maybe you could set them to private once they are uploaded ? I am not sure if it is possible on Steam, but I think so.

Just upload to steam but don’t make them public. Others can only see them if you allow it.

@ElectricMonk @FoxyDee Ah, I didn't know that was an option! Thanks for letting me know!

They should be backed up to the Steam Cloud automatically anyway.
The actual files are in C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Planet Zoo\<steamid>\Saves; they have the file extension .zblpr, alongside your .zoos and general player save state (zplayer).

Awesome! Thank you very much!
