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.

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.
