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.

Copies

Only Blueprint Originals can be copied.
