how do use the tablet you find

[Gamer2456]

Do you have to unlock them or do that automatic give you the blueprint when you find them? I have like 3 and i do not know what to do with them because the workbench don't open them.

You just double click on them and they will tell you what blueprint they unlock in the Tech Trees

In your inventory right click the laptop and click 'use'

I am wondering if i'm using them right. When i click on one and select "use" it comes up with the list of workbenches like mechanic, materials, botany etc, and under each of those is another list of techs, some of these are already unlocked and some aren't. It seems if i select an item i've already unlocked, the tablet is wasted.... i think.... but i'm not sure, as it seems once you click on "use" and nothing else, going out of it again destroys the tablet.

So my question is, is the selection all automatic? or do we really have to select carefully or risk wasting a tablet?

You cant waste tablets, they give you random blueprints in random tech tree and dont give same thing twice untill you unlock all blueprints in all tech trees and then you will see message "all technologies unlocked" or "all blueprints unlocked" something like that.

Ah, i wondered if it was allocated randomly, thanks! I was expecting some sort of message saying which specific blueprint was given.

as soon as you found all blueprints, you are still able to loot / pick up abandoned tablets. after right-click on them in your inventory, you got a message like you have all blueprints. and the abandoned tablet don't disappear. So, if you didn't find all blueprints and right click on one of these tablets, it will open the knowledge section in your tablet, give you some read logs written by other pioneers.

I am watching a youtube playthru of this game, actually a couple. One guy has started to find tablets that say "all BPs unlocked" but he hasn't unlocked everything yet. He doesn't have the large crusher or the jetpack yet for sure and a few more, I think, while another youtuber has both of them so I know there in the game. So is that a bug.

to unlock blueprints and to research tech are to same.
right click on abandoned tablets gives you some text, logs, Lore to read and makes available to research some techs in tech section. however further techs require specialist workshops. just build up a specialist workshop, do your research (spend your specialist point), and deconstruct the specialist workshop to save energy. Some Techs are not available in game (work in progress), and on other hand some tablets like "big dome" tech is not findable. but some tablets about techs that are in development are findable (e.g. kilopower).

Some techs like large crusher require non-inherited tech, that I would call a bug.
to unlock large crusher you have to unlock a tech placed over it (in same column, but not connect via line)

Maybe you're not understanding. Not once have they ever gotten a tablet that said "all blueprints unlocked" and give no blueprint at all. We are all aware how it works. and even if you get a BP that needs a workshop to unlock the tablet still tells you what it is.
Then suddenly ALL tablets they pick when clicked on/used the small message line says "all blueprints unlocked" when we know that there are still blueprints to unlock that are in the game. And not just one but every tablet they get now. The chances that these are duplicate tablets and that's just the message you get when you pick up a tablet seem slim.
What are the odds that you NEVER get a duplicate, not once, but then suddenly EVERY tablet you pick up is a duplicate? it seems unlikely, so I'm going with a bug or a game mechanic that needs to be fixed.
