Lockpick Recipe

[Teufelskerl]

I can't find the recipe. It's not in the trailer or the furniture shop as others have said. Anywhere else to look?

A book gave me access to making lockpicks again, usually been able to find one skill magazine in the mine management building in most of my "borrowing" runs.
Otherwise, I've yet to find a static lockpick blueprint spot.

Weird, the recipe should be in Mobelmann's shop. Some shelf or counter next to the table saw. It just requires 1 scrap metal at any machining/metalworking station (angle grinder, head drill, or a lathe). Maybe try just putting scrap into the machine and see if it pops up? Some recipes can be learned "on the go" if you put the right ingredients into the machine, don't know if this is one of those.

If all else fails, you should eventually get it via random mail, or could try finding/stealing one of those machining magazines. Samuel, the renovations guy usually has some around his place.

I found the lockpick recipe in Deekula A. It's all the way on the top floor. Keep going up the stairs until you get to a room with a bunch of chain link fences and gates. There'll be a boarded up hallway; right next to that there will be a small staircase that leads up to another room. The lockpick recipe is on a table right at the top of the stairs (along with a respawning mashing recipe)

Thanks, but I've tried just putting scrap in the station and the room in Deekula A. I seem to be getting the gold bar recipe everywhere the lockpick should be.

The lockpick recipe appears to be in a random location. I've looked at all the locations in my game where recipes spawn. Each time I check, it's the same recipe each time. Maybe I'll get lucky with a magazine.

its randomized, got mine only after 20 hours of gameplay when reading from a magazine

I got it 65 hours into my run when I (seemingly) had like most recipes and blueprints already... it seems purely chance based

I got it from a MAGAZINE, not a "blueprint". -- so keep your eyes open for various readable magazines.
they aren't out in the open!!!!! they are usually (I think all are) in containers. never in trash, or the chests with building materials, but in homes and such

The recipe is always at the renovation shop in the shelf behind the guy, So far it has respawn like 13 times for me in the same place.

So I'm guessing the the developers made it a permanent location in this update.

There's a couple of magazines that you can subscribe to by calling the publishing houses with the pay phone (or any phone if you write down the number). They only cost a little bit of OC each week and they're a great way to get recipes you might be missing.

I believe you can also get a few recipe magazines from souvenir stall.

In my game, that recipe is always 'mechanical parts'. I think it's different each game, but each location always provides just one recipe.
