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

Blueprint Types

• Construction Blueprint (common) Construction Blueprint (common)
• Construction Blueprint (uncommon) Construction Blueprint (uncommon)
• Construction Blueprint (rare) Construction Blueprint (rare)
• Construction Blueprint (very rare!) Construction Blueprint (very rare!)

How to obtain blueprints

The Blueprints Blueprints can be found in many ways or by constructing other buildings.

Finding lost plans

Each Town Town starts with several "free" plans scattered in the World Beyond World Beyond.
These Blueprints Blueprints are already uncovered, so all that is required is locate them, pick them up and bring them back to the Town Town!

• Local towns have 3 Construction_Blueprint_(rare) Construction Blueprint (rare) and 1 Construction_Blueprint_(very_rare!) Construction Blueprint (very rare!) hidden on random zones in the World Beyond World Beyond.
• Distant towns have 5 Construction_Blueprint_(rare) Construction Blueprint (rare) and 2 Construction_Blueprint_(very_rare!) Construction Blueprint (very rare!) hidden on random zones in the World Beyond World Beyond.

Scavenging in the World Beyond

It is also possible to discover Blueprints Blueprints in the World Beyond World Beyond while Scavenging.

Camping in the Ruins

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

Note that only one blueprint can be found per Ruins Ruin camped.

The Architect's Study

The Architect's Study Architect's Study will give 1 Construction_Blueprint_(common) Construction Blueprint (common) to The Bank The Bank after each The Attack Attack.

Explorable Ruins

The three Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruins each contain a separate set of blueprints that can unlock fewer buildings than their normal counterparts. See Explorable Ruins for the current possibilities.

Using blueprints

While in the safety of a Town Town, click on the Blueprints 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 Construction_Sites Construction Sites and an announcement will be made in the Registers Registers.

Blueprint opening strategy

All Construction Blueprint (common) Construction Blueprint (common) can be opened immediately without waiting.

For the rest, we have two major types of blueprints - normal blueprints and Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruin blueprints:

1. Normal blueprints are those found in Worn Leather Bag Worn Leather Bags, Architect's Chest Architect's Chests, and after Camping Camping normal Ruins Ruins.
2. Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruin blueprints are special blueprints found in particular Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruin. Each Explorable Ruins 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 Explorable Ruins 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.
