Blueprints can be crafted using the Research Station

You need research points to craft the BPs and you can find them topside. There are currently 5 different ones. The common grants 50 points and the legendary gives 1,000 (each)

Upgrading your Research Station unlocks more blueprints

Once you have the required resources and points, craft the blueprint and learn it the same way as any other you find naturally
