Common blueprint questions
How many blueprints are there in Outbound?
Roughly 25–30 unique schematics across the four biomes. Most drop from signal towers; some unlock automatically when you build a higher-tier workbench.
Why is my signal-tower blueprint slot empty?
Known launch bug. Workaround: leave the tower (drive ~100m away) and return; the blueprint repopulates. Logged on Steam discussions and acknowledged by Square Glade Games.
Are there missable blueprints?
No — all critical-path blueprints can be reacquired by revisiting the source tower or trading with the Coastline NPC. Pearls remain a tradeable currency post-game.
