In the future, the way you'll get blueprints will be to create a scanner device, then you have to go out and find the number of fragments listed next to each item in the table above, and scan them. Each scanned fragment unlocks a % of the device. You ahve to get 100% to be able to get the blue print. Scanning any extra fragements you find just coverts the fragement into 2 titanium. They have it like this in experimental right now, so you'll probably see this method being used in the next update to stable.. maybe in Jan or Feb.

The wiki suggests that fragments will be scattered around wreck/debris. In experimental, there's a text blurb that says the debris field of the aurora was wide. So, I'm guessing they'll eventally make each biome have one or more large wreck pieces you'll need to crack open and explore in order to get some or all of the fragements (like how you have to do with the water filtration). This would make it more essential to set up aux bases in biomes, giving you a rest stop to collect and resupply while chasing down wrecks and stuff. EG: in the grand reef you'd probably find a couple of moon pool fragments just out and about, but the rest would need the laser cutter to dig into some wrecks to get them. I'm just speculating, but the entire front of the Aurora is basically gone, and it's huge, so it's not too much of a stretch to assume the water filtration wreck is the first of several to come.
