Duplication

Definition

Shipyard allows users to easily duplicate their Vessels, Fleets, Blueprints. This is commonly used to create slight variations or in lieu of built-in versioning.

Vessels

When a Vessel is duplicated, the following things occur:

1. A new Vessel is immediately created. The name of the new Vessel will be the same as the original with three digits appended to the end (eg. the duplicate of My Vessel may be named My Vessel 123).
2. The Code, Arguments, Environment Variables, Packages, Guardrails, and Notifications from the old Vessel are transferred to the new Vessel.

Fleets

When a Fleet is duplicated, the following things occur:

1. A new Fleet is immediately created. The name of the new Fleet will be the same as the original with three digits appended to the end (eg. the duplicate of My Fleet may be named My Fleet 123).
2. The Vessels from the old Fleet are mirrored in the new Fleet.
3. The Fleet's Triggers are all reset.
4. The new Fleet starts with 0 logs.

Blueprints

When a Blueprint is duplicated, the following things occur:

1. A new Blueprint is immediately created. The name of the new Blueprint will be the same as the original with three digits appended to the end (eg. the duplicate of My Blueprint may be named My Blueprint 123).
2. The Blueprint Variables, Blueprint Description, Code, Command, Environment Variables, Packages, and Guardrails from the old Blueprint are transferred to the new Blueprint. Effectively, every field gets carried over.
3. The new Blueprint is set to the Hidden visibility.

caution

Pressing duplicate will immediately create a duplicate without you needing to save anything. You will, however, likely want to change a few settings or create a more distinct name.

Additional Notes

1. You can't duplicate an instance of a Blueprint or Fleet that has been changed since the last save. You must first click save.
