Blueprints are used to unlock various technologies as opposed to learning them at a Research Bench. Many technologies, specifically different types of weapons and armour, cannot be researched normally and need to be learned through blueprints. The trade-off to the new system is that while research times for these technologies are instantaneous the blueprints need to be hunted down, as they are spread out across the world among the various factions.
Construction blueprints can be bought from the Construction Trader or the Travel Trader.

Weapon Blueprints[]
Weapon blueprints can be found at Weapon Traders and will vary depending on what faction trader you are buying from. Once used the blueprint will unlock the ability to craft that type of weapon at whatever quality of weapon manufacturers you have already researched. You can ignore the "Research Level" as it is not actually needed.
