Blueprint Locations

Complete guide to finding all blueprints in StarRupture. Abandoned base locations, access methods, and what blueprints you'll find at each site.

What are Blueprints?

Advanced crafting recipes found in abandoned structures across Arcadia-7.

Blueprint Basics

Blueprints unlock advanced crafting recipes that cannot be obtained through the Recipe Station alone. They are found in blue-glowing loot containers inside abandoned bases and ruins.

  • Location: Abandoned bases (SMBs), ruins, underground caves
  • Identification: Blue-glowing containers (blueprints) vs Red containers (supplies)
  • Unlock: Once found, blueprints permanently unlock recipes at Recipe Station
  • Map Access: Griffits Blue Lv3 unlocks map markers for locations

Preparation Tips

  • Combat Ready: Bring ~300 bullets minimum for hostile encounters
  • Lighting: Some locations are dark - bring flashlight or headlamp
  • Storage: Clear inventory space for loot and blueprints
  • Timing: Scout during daytime for better visibility
