Your No Man’s Sky adventure starts with a standard exosuit, a broken ship, and a weak multi-tool. All of these tools can be repaired and upgraded, allowing you to explore, craft and build at a much faster rate than you can when you first start the game.
As you explore the universe in No Man’s Sky, you’ll come across blueprints. These blueprints can be located anywhere in the universe at any time, so it’s hard for us to pinpoint them and tell you where they are: you just need to search for them. Some will be part of mini-missions and objectives, while others are waiting to be found.
They can generally be found one of two ways:
- By helping an alien and receiving a blueprint as a gift.
- By finding crashed pods on planets, generally marked by a “?”.
Once you find a recipe, it’ll appear in your inventory. Click on an empty inventory slot (either Exosuit, Ship or Multi-tool, depending on what the recipe is for), and then select the recipe. If you have the necessary ingredients you’ll be able to build it straight away.
