Blueprints (Subnautica)

Blueprints are special schematics that are required to make certain advanced items in the game. They are discovered by finding the Data Boxes in the Degasi Seabases, Destroyed Lifepods and Wrecks and retrieving the data chip from them. Some items, however, like the Laser Cutter, require using the Scanner to scan Fragments left behind in Wrecks of the Aurora.

Pre-Installed Blueprints
Certain Blueprints do not require Fragments, and are pre-installed in the PDA.

Discoverable Blueprints
The player has to scan multiple Fragments in order to research most Blueprints, while others require the player to have obtained an item or blueprint beforehand. Once discovered, Blueprints can be used an infinite amount of times for building purposes.

Discoverable Recipe
Recipes are unlocked by catching an edible Fauna. It can later be either Cooked or Cured in the Fabricator's Sustenance Menu.

Identifying Eggs
Eggs can be identified once hatched in an Alien Containment.
