View source for Blueprints

As of season three, there is a new task before being able to construct buildings at the {{MetaInline|Construction Sites}}. Due to the downfall of civilization, the {{MetaInline|Blueprints}} needed to construct just about every building must be (re)discovered. There are almost 140 construction projects to recover!

== Blueprint Types ==
*{{MetaInline|Construction Blueprint (common)}}
*{{MetaInline|Construction Blueprint (uncommon)}}
*{{MetaInline|Construction Blueprint (rare)}}
*{{MetaInline|Construction Blueprint (very rare!)}}

==How to obtain blueprints==
The {{MetaInline|Blueprints}} can be found in many ways or by constructing other buildings. 

===Finding lost plans===
Each {{MetaInline|Town}} starts with several "free" plans scattered in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}}.<br>
These {{MetaInline|Blueprints}} are already uncovered, so all that is required is locate them, pick them up and bring them back to the {{MetaInline|Town}}!
* [[Town#Local_towns|Local towns]] have 3 {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(rare)}} and 1 {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(very_rare!)}} hidden on random zones in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}}.
* [[Town#Distant_towns|Distant towns]] have 5 {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(rare)}} and 2 {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(very_rare!)}} hidden on random zones in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}}.

===Scavenging in the World Beyond===
It is also possible to discover {{MetaInline|Blueprints}} in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}} while [[Scavenging]].

===Camping in the Ruins===
You can also get a {{MetaInline|Blueprints|displayname=blueprint}} by camping in {{MetaInline|Ruins}}. The "quality" of the blueprint depends on how far that building actually is from the {{MetaInline|Town}}. Those close to town (9km or less) give a {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(uncommon)}}, while those faraway from town (10km or more) give a {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(rare)}}.

Note that only one blueprint can be found per {{MetaInline|Ruins|displayname=Ruin}} camped.

===The Architect's Study===
The {{MetaInline|Architect's Study}} will give 1 {{MetaInline|Construction_Blueprint_(common)}} to {{MetaInline|The Bank}} after each {{MetaInline|The Attack|displayname=Attack}}.

===Explorable Ruins===
The three {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins}} each contain a separate set of blueprints that can unlock fewer buildings than their normal counterparts. See [[Explorable Ruins#Blueprints|Explorable Ruins]] for the current possibilities.

==Using blueprints==
While in the safety of a {{MetaInline|Town}}, click on the {{MetaInline|Blueprints|displayname=blueprint}} when you're in your home to study it.

The project that it unlocks will automatically be added to the list of projects available at the {{MetaInline|Construction_Sites}} and an announcement will be made in the {{MetaInline|Registers}}.


== Blueprint opening strategy ==
All {{MetaInline|Construction Blueprint (common)}} can be opened immediately without waiting.

For the rest, we have two major types of blueprints - normal blueprints and {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins|displayname=Explorable Ruin}} blueprints: 
# Normal blueprints are those found in {{MetaInline|Worn Leather Bag|displayname=Worn Leather Bags}}, {{MetaInline|Architect's Chest|displayname=Architect's Chests}}, and after {{MetaInline|Camping}} normal {{MetaInline|Ruins}}. 
# {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins|displayname=Explorable Ruin}} blueprints are special blueprints found in particular {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins|displayname=Explorable Ruin}}. Each {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins|displayname=Explorable Ruin}} blueprint has its own preset list of buildings which can be unlocked.

Normal blueprints can unlock any building projects from the whole pool, while {{MetaInline|Explorable Ruins|displayname=Explorable Ruin}} blueprints only have a preset pool of projects which can be unlocked. 

When a blueprint is read, it will always try to unlock a project which can be unlocked first. If there is no project left which is lockable, it will fail and the blueprint will be wasted when you read it.

If one of those projects have been unlocked by the normal blueprint, you will have one fewer building project which can be unlocked from the ruin blueprints. Thus normally you want to hold all normal blueprints and read ruin blueprints to unlock all preset building projects first. For that reason, the practice of holding off reading normal blueprints until explorable ruins cease to yield any more of their own is preferred.

However if all projects left from the preset pool are child projects which require their parent project(s) to be unlocked first, and their parent project(s) is/are not inside the preset pool, you need to switch the preference and start reading normal blueprints until you can unlock the target parent building. Only then you can switch back and read ruin blueprints again.
