Blueprint analyzer

[Jeneric_Gamer]

So, I started a base, got the construction and the scientific consoles going, got the builders. Then the game said Ineed to go out of the star system to find a scientist, which I did, howe4ver, Now i'm stuck in this other system, as I cannot build the warp fuel. It says I need a blueprint analyzer, but I don't find any way to build one. Do I need to start another base? if so do I loose my old base?

I have not received the quest to get the antimatter in the new system yet, and I've done everything, explored every planet, I am currently killing bounties, because i'm kinda stuck here. I even reloaded the game.

No, no, no, no. Sorry. You get the blue print analyzer as a salvaged technology from interacting with the base computer. Once you build it you have to dig up buried technology modules and unlock at least 2 additional base pieces which will then give you the "16" quest. When you are doing the "16" quest DON'T talk to any of the vendors or the mission board manager because the people you talk to for the 16 quest WON'T talk to you ever again on that save slot afterwards. Completing the 16 quest is what gives you the distress signal that leads you to the crashed freighter that has the antimatter blue print.

You also need to keep interacting with the base computer to unlock other blue prints as you progress. The only issue is that it takes 1 hour 30 minutes real time before you can access the base computer again and then ONLY if you did what was required to complete that quest (like build an appearance modifier) or unpin the formula. The new count down ONLY starts after you complete that or unpin the formula.

Edit - Make sure you have the base computer as the active quest or the base computer sequence won't advance. You'll only get rename base and leave as options (unless you built a large enough base to get the upload base option.)

I just started a new game today, while the overseer mentions getting a scientist, it immediately told me to check my base computer. I check there and get some downloaded plans. I return to the overseer who wants me to go to an abandoned building. I believe that abandoned building mission is where you get the blueprint analyzer.

It can be a bit confusing, because the early game just keeps shuffling new missions on you left and right. When in doubt, check your log and highlight the mission of interest.

Pretty much, if you read carefully and follow instructions...it is pretty hard to get lost. The key part is to read the instructions before just running around crazy like.

Nope, BP analyzer comes from the base computer. abandoned building gives you the info to build storage containers.

OK You're in the second star system. Go into your LOG and change the log to Awakenings. Get in your ship and hit the scan button C on keyboard. You may need to scan twice. It will give you the location of a trade post -- go there and talk to the person who has the icon over his head -- he teaches you the anti matter blue print.

No no no yourself, they need the antimatter blueprint or they cant get back to base to do the analyzer. Thats the thing, left the system to find a scientist and have to be able to craft warp cells or they arent going back to base to build the blueprint analyzer.

No, they don't. That all takes place in the home system. That's why people have home systems that have vendors that won't talk to them (as I do) and GalacticJessi and Däguas. Check the thread titled "Help with mission board."

Mr. Obvious here... You apparently got the first antimatter and housing BP from the quest, if that is the case then find a crashed freighter and see if it has antimatter. I have found antimatter and even a warp cell on every play start I've done as long as I had the stuff needed to get into the containers at the crash site. You need to do the quest to completion to avoid this catch 22.

thank you, I'll try this. Everyone is answering as if I am still in my home system, which is the whole problem, I can't GET back to my home system. I'll give his a try..

Sounds like you used the free one to get to the next system before you got the antimatter blue print. The other thing you could do is have someone help you. If you have someone friend you, you can join a multiplayer game, they can give you a warp cell, and you can use it to get back to your home system and get the antimatter blue print.

If you can go that route don't forget to tell your helper what difficulty and what platform you are on.

I more then likely did exactly that, I didn't mean to, probably just not paying attention. However, your's is the best idea i've heard so far. I'll just have to get a friend to help me. thanks.

Not your fault. You would be surprised how many people this happens to. The mission text is NOT very clear about this and Awakenings isn't straight forward as a tutorial. You have to go into the base computer during Awakenings in order to proceed and you have to know when to switch quests/missions to do that.

I can help you if you want. Just send a friend request and I'll set up a multiplayer game and get you a warp cell or 2. I'm on PC and can help with normal or permadeath.

I died, got stuck in a building and ship took too much damage. Thanks for the offers though! :)

You should be able to use the teleporter on the space station to get to your base. That'll take you back to the first system and you can continue the missions.

You have to finish the tutorial (Awakenings) and warp 3 times before you can use the teleporters.
