[ASK] Issue with saving a blueprint: too many blocks.
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow engineers—could you please help me resolve an issue? My ship has around 3,500 blocks—definitely no more than 5,000. Yet, when I try to save the blueprint, it claims there are 65,000 blocks, and the file size is enormous. How can I fix this?

How many sub-grids are attached to your ship? Sub-grids are the grids connected via rotors, pistons and hinges. The only way to get an accurate block and PCU count is to attempt to copy (CTRL+C) the ship and see what the block count and PCU count is before you paste the copy into the world. There should be some information at the bottom of the "ghost" version of your ship you're about to paste.

Another issue maybe be projectors with cached projections in them of grids with cached projections in them etc. You may have a Russian-doll effect of extra blocks being counted due to projectors.
Make sure your ship isn't docked with a station. Made that mistake a time or two myself...
Does it have a projector on that has an active projection on?
