Blueprints

Blueprints are the center point of all Industry activities and without an appropriate blueprint, none of the Industry Activities can be performed. There are some items that are produced through other means (i.e. Planetary Interaction) and will not have a corresponding Blueprint, but in most cases an item where no corresponding blueprint exists can not be built by players and is usually only obtainable through looting it from NPCs or acquiring them from current owners.

Blueprint Types

Blueprints come in three different types, indicated by the icons background color. Each blueprint type is used for specific purposes:
