Modifying blueprints.

Blueprint a block that you want to modify
Press win + R
Type in %appdata%
Run
Go to Roaming
Then Space Engineers
Then blueprints
Find the blueprint of the block you want to modify
Open the folder with your blueprint name
Open BP.sbc with notepad
Change "gridsizeEnum" from small to large or from large to small
Save
Delete all the other files in the folder. Only leave BP.sbc
Refresh your blueprint list
Spawn and attach blueprint to your existing grid
Voila. Now you can put it on a grid of a different size then the original block allows. Have fun!

NOTE:

Doing this may corrupt your blueprint. Maybe even the savegame you did it in.
No guarantees.
EDIT: As of one of the game updates, "Enable supergridding" must be enabled in world settings to use this. The addition of many small blocks has made this less useful however.

Why isn't this a built-in feature?

PineCone227 [author] 11 Dec, 2018 @ 9:28am

Id say it is. But it cant cause too much harm to other players (If any) and allows for much more creative builds.

I have
Kinda, you just have to start with the large grid, and build small around it for things like: Putting Large grid rocket pod on a small grid fighter, or somthing like that. Though, yeah, it can make ur stuff clang possesed and spin out of the universe XD

Rotors are much less stable. Also you cant put large blocks on small grids with rotors.
