Blueprint

Blueprints are how you build structures in Autonauts. In the Structure Blueprints menu, you click on the structure you want to build. You will then get to place the blueprint in the world, and it will appear in the shape of the structure as blue squares with white borders. To place a blueprint instead of restoring a previously deleted structure, hold. Once the blueprint is placed, you and bots can start adding materials to it. The bot or player that adds the final required material will assemble the pile of materials into the completed structure.

Blueprints are unlocked through certificates and research. Some structures can also be upgraded (+ ), and once you click the arrow to upgrade, a new blueprint will be created on top of them that you can add materials to, but the original building will be unusable until the upgrade blueprint is completed or canceled.

Blueprints can be moved and deleted just like finished structures.
