Technology Blueprints v1.0.5[1.0] Version 1.0.5Always load Technology Blueprints after any mod that adds, changes or removes Research Projects!Description:This mod adds Technology Blueprints to the game. Discover the secrets of any research by using them!
These are rare items that can be dropped by enemies or bought at traders. Using one will consume it and unlock a random, researchable technology if the blueprint is under or equivalent to your era; otherwise, it will give you some progress towards the technology.
There are four types of blueprints:
- Neolithic blueprints
- Medieval blueprints
- Industrial blueprints
- Spacer blueprints
Factions drop relevant blueprints, e.g. tribals mostly drop neolithic blueprint and medieval blueprint, but have a tiny chance of dropping higher era blueprints. The frequency of dropping a blueprint in a raid is between 1-5% per enemy, where weaker enemies have a lesser chance to drop. Faction leaders have about 90% drop chance, thus giving more reason to travel to enemy bases.
Blueprints can also be awarded as world quests, item stash, etc., so keep your eye out for them!
When you have mastered a technological era, you'll be able to research the capacity to craft your own technology blueprints at a Blueprint Bench and sell them to traders for profit!
This will make sure your researchers keep their minds sharp, and their work profitable
