Manufacturing
Introduction
Blueprints
Blueprint Orginals (BPOs) are available from the market (Blueprints) for all pure Tech 1 (Meta 0) items. They start with a Material Efficiency of 0 and a Production Efficiency of 0.
Originals
Research
Only Blueprint Originals can be researched.
Material Efficiency
All Blueprints start will a built in waste of 10%. This can be reduced by researching the Material Efficiency (ME) of the BPO. Since waste drops only by integer units, there is a ME beyond which it is fruitless to research further. This number is often quite low for small items.
Production Efficiency
Production Efficiency research reduces the production time of the item. This can be less critical to the cost of production than material efficiency, but may still have a significant effect on your cost of production.
Copies
Only Blueprint Originals can be copied. The copies will have the ME and PE of the BPO being copied.
