How do I save in a new Slot?

I downloaded the new update, and when I start the game I can see there's now finally 3 save slots. But I can't seem to find the way to use them. Maybe it's so obvious, but I can't find the option... I need help! I'm about to destroy my biggest built so far, so I want to have a backup just in case. Thanks!

I just finished Moonbrooke island and went back to Green Gardens to grab my food and do some small tablet targets. The moment I entered I was attacked by fire using monsters and they burned literally all of my grass and destroyed my entire green gardens area. Trying to put out the fire only made the area become filled with water. Seriously wtf? In 2mins I went from having a farm and a huge meadow and now it's a water logged dirt area. Am I just not allowed to visit this area of my town until I finish the last chapter? 🙄

I finally got a roll on a Laguna Perfuma Buildertopia that I like, so I'm gonna start moving all of the story builds over for storage, pyramid first...

This is definitely gonna take a while, just sitting here watching them do it. I only have 40 building NPCs so it's not as fast as it could be. I'll just be happy to finally have this thing off of IoA, because Scarlet Sands being the most flat space in an area, I need it to build my self-maintaining farm.

I split it into 5 blueprints, 4 of the actual pyramid plus the topper. I might just put the topper off to the side for now though, maybe work on making it fit better later.

These NPCs are probably thinking, "DIDN'T WE ALREADY BUILD THIS DAMN THING ONCE!?"

I found a Laguna Perfuma island with a neat layout that really turned out to be pretty perfectly empty for what I was planning.

So far, I have rebuilt the Deitree, the Copper, Silver, and Gold Bars, the pyramid, the Great Gate including all of the forticiations, and the castle that was built on the Isle of Awakening.

I do have the Ark currently blueprinted, but I'm trying to figure out where I want to put it instead of just plopping it down in the middle of the lake. I plan on getting the Power Towers and the Kazapple Cannon rebuilt as well, but it may be a few days before I get around to that.

I've marked the corners of each building for convenient blueprinting. Just make your pencil markings /on/ the colored blocks, not to the sides of them.

I built pillars up the sides of the Deitree to allow for convenient blueprinting of the canopy, as well as markers on the ground for the trunk because the tree is too big to fit all at once.

I have the pyramid split into four blueprints, and the Golem topper is off to the side of it. I haven't gotten the other topper blueprinted yet, but that is also in my plans.

The Great Gate is split into two blueprints because it cut off some of the top if I tried to do the entire thing in one, and it does include all of the traps from the story.

I really just wanted to get the pyramid and the castle off of my IoA without completely getting rid of them, and then it branched out from there to include other story builds that people may have removed and would like to rebuild, or for people who want to blueprint something but want to be lazy about it. :P

Anyway, if anyone wants to check it out, my Uploader ID is...

I’m stuck building the reception room. I looked up what it could be that I’m doing wrong. But still the game won’t accept my room as a reception room. Please help!

From what I have ever been able to tell, it seems completely random whether or not your hands appear when you're in first-person view. Am I missing something specific that turns them on and off that I somehow trigger?

However, it requires searching for another island, so you would lose anything that's been built on it.

The default names for the Buildertopias are "Buildertopia", "Buildertopia Beta", and "Buildertopia Gamma". Normally, if you change their name you can't change it back because the custom name entry is limited to 10 characters.

Talk to the Captain and choose "Search Again" for the one you want to reset the name on, and once you're loaded onto the island, exit to the main menu without saving. You'll be made to load the save that was made before the island was generated, which will just tell you that it couldn't be found and you'll automatically go back to IoA. If you check your Buildertopias again, you'll notice the one you just reset is now unnamed.

If I copy my save file to all three slots in order to have 9 Buildertopias, how does the game handle it when I upload an island? I believe all three saves have the same Builder ID, and I'm only allowed to upload one island at a time on a single Builder ID, so would it just replace the one that's uploaded with the new one, even if it's on a different save?

Example: I upload Buildertopia A from Save 1, then switch over to Save 3 and try to upload Buildertopia B.

What happens? Is Buildertopia A taken down and replaced with Buildertopia B? Will both Buildertopia B and Buildertopia A be uploaded until I load Save 1 again? Will they both stay uploaded regardless, since they're from different save files?

Halp.

What do you all do with all the extra blocks you have? I have been doing alot of terraforming and have 6 or 7 chests full that I don't wanna have. I tried to taking a chest full to a island and then just leaving them there but that didn't work. I'm on the isle of Awakening. Working on my farming village. I don't really wanna just go put 100k blocks somewhere else.
