Blueprints

Blueprint Menu Screenshot Image Source: Satisfactory Wiki Upon successfully gathering the contents of a crash site, a variety of items are rewarded alongside the coveted Satisfactory hard drive, granting the choice of two random alternative blueprints. Alternative blueprints offer powerful variants of standard blueprints and can greatly affect one’s progress. As of the official Satisfactory release, this choice does not need to be made right away. Many players choose to save and reload until they get the recipe they desire, but official methods remain RNG.
