blueprints

[Čaks Stallone]

hello,

is there any way to get blueprints faster? i rarely get any, and i dont need those from merchants most of the time

I have found that buying them even if you don't need them, will change the list of blueprints available when you re-visit a space station. Then ther's every chance that you will see ones that you do want.

Edit. You can find them as well in-game, but they are not as common as they used to be.

After re-visiting the same space station after purchasing all blueprints with nanites, I've never seen the blueprint vendor's stock change. Is that what you mean? From my experience, each station's blueprint vendor inventory is static. I could be wrong though.

does it depend what race space station i visit?

Different races have different tech.... I cannot quite remember what each race sells, but you'll see weapon tech from Vy'keen, Korvax sell tech for your exosuit I believe.

Each space station has its own inventory of blueprints. I have actually never seen a single space station update its inventory. Even if you purchase everything. I've purchased everything in my home system quite a while back, and after several visits this sold out inventory never changes.

This is correct in my experience. Korvax sell suit blueprints, Vy'keen is Multi-Tool, Gek is ship blueprints. I read Polo will sell some blueprints after first two encounters, but I have not verified this yet myself.

AFAIK, Polo will only hand out blueprints according to specific milestone achievements. See: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Polo for list.

Nada will had out a random blueprint if you ask for aid. I do believe it will always be a random sigma version.

The blueprints that I can buy in space stations are only the new ones introduced with Pathfinder, I see no other ones probably because I had collected most of them already in Foundation. But they don't change if I re-visit the place.
As for finding blueprints faster: Go visit Colonial Outposts that you find by placing the Signal Booster on planet surfaces. Such Outposts (or fabrics, it depends) will yield good blueprints if you solve the puzzle correctly. Then the Distress Beacons of crashed ship sites will also yield good blueprints, you can bribe most NPC's for the cost of the same items every time so they will reveal a crash site to you, you can even re-visit the same crash sites and the beacons will reset (an exploit due to a game glitch).
Monolits (not plaques!) will also yield blueprints, or expensive items (those you need for bribing NPCs), it's random.
Then always visit space anomalies (but you know that I'm sure...)

Hope this helps,
