All Blueprint Locations in StarRupture

Blueprints are a core part of progression in StarRupture, and without them, production hits a hard wall fast. This guide uses the StarRupture Interactive Map to show where to find all blueprints, so you can unlock crafting recipes without wasting time clearing locations that won’t move you forward.

Every blueprint you find plugs directly into the Recipe Station, where it unlocks new items, components, and production chains. Some blueprints gate entire crafting tiers, so knowing where they spawn and what category they belong to makes route planning much smoother.

What Blueprints Are Used For

All blueprints serve the same core function, but they unlock different production paths once installed at the Recipe Station.

• Blueprints unlock item production at the Recipe Station
• Each blueprint permanently adds new craftable recipes
• Many advanced items depend on earlier blueprint unlocks
• Missing a single blueprint can block multiple downstream components

If you’re stuck wondering why something won’t craft, you’re almost always missing a blueprint.

Blueprint Categories

Blueprints in StarRupture fall into a few key production groups. Understanding these makes it easier to prioritize what to hunt first.

Chemical Blueprints

Chemical blueprints unlock production tied to processing, refinement, and material handling. These are often required early and feed into multiple other systems later on.

If you plan to scale production instead of scavenging, chemical blueprints are mandatory.

Tube Blueprints

Tube blueprints unlock structural and component-based recipes that act as connectors between systems. These tend to sit at the center of production chains and are easy to overlook until you suddenly need them.

They don’t look flashy, but a missing tube blueprint can halt an entire factory layout.

Advanced Component Blueprints

These are the most important long-term unlocks and usually sit deeper in the map:

• Synthetic Silicon
• Rotor
• Stator
• Stabilizer
• Valve
• Electronics

These components form the backbone of advanced crafting. Most late-game structures and systems depend on multiple items from this group, which makes these blueprints some of the highest priority finds on the map.

How to Use the Map Efficiently

The StarRupture map shows every blueprint pin directly, which makes planning much easier once you know what you’re looking for.

A few tips that help:

• Focus on Abandoned Bases first, they offer the highest blueprint density
• Clear nearby caves while you’re already in the area
• Check mainframe rooms carefully before leaving
• Use fast travel or landers to chain blueprint locations together
• Mark found blueprints on the map to avoid revisits

Here’s a quick overview of the blueprint-related locations shown on the map.

Tips for Blueprint Hunting

• Prioritize Advanced Component blueprints early if you plan long-term builds
• Clear Abandoned Bases first, they have the highest blueprint density
• Don’t skip Mainframe rooms, many key unlocks live there
• Mark found blueprints on the map to avoid double-backs
• If production stalls, check the Recipe Station to see what’s still locked

FAQs

Do blueprints unlock items permanently?
Yes. Once added to the Recipe Station, the recipes stay unlocked.

Can I miss blueprints?
No. They don’t despawn and can be collected at any point.

Do I need all blueprints to finish the game?
For full production chains and late-game systems, yes.
