StarRupture Blueprint Locations: How To Find Every Blueprint

Blueprints unlock the best recipes in StarRupture. Here's where to find them, what you need to collect them, and which ones to prioritize.

Why Blueprints Are Worth The Hunt

I ignored blueprints for my first 10 hours. Huge mistake. Some of the highest-ROI export items require blueprint-locked recipes.

Without blueprints, your export options hit a ceiling. The ROI Calculator shows which items need blueprints—pay attention to those warnings.

How To Find Blueprint Locations On The Map

After unlocking the Map (Moon Energy Level 3), blueprint icons appear at fixed locations. These are NOT random spawns.

Each blueprint location has requirements: some need trade items, others need you to clear enemies, a few have simple puzzles. Check before heading out.

Which Blueprints To Get First

Focus on blueprints that unlock high-ROI exports. I prioritized production blueprints over combat ones—more exports = faster progression.

Check our Export ROI Calculator before each run. It shows exactly which blueprint unlocks will improve your ROI the most.

  • Check the "Requires Blueprint" warning in ROI results
  • Plan expeditions during the Safe Window (first 20 minutes)
  • Bring required trade items before heading out
  • Mark collected blueprints to avoid wasted trips
