11 Blueprints are how ship designs are shared and sold between players in SpaceCraft. They let you skip the design work, or profit from your own designs.

33 Buying Blueprints
44  
55 Rather than designing every ship from scratch, you can buy blueprints from other players for ready-made designs that you can build instantly. This makes it possible to get a capable, proven ship without working out the component layout yourself, as long as you have the parts or means to build it.

77 Selling Your Designs

99 Blueprints also work in your favor as a creator. Once you have perfected a ship, you can sell its blueprint, allowing others to build and pilot your creation. A well-regarded design can become a source of income on the player-driven marketplace.

1414 Blueprints are one of the goods that flow through the player-driven economy, alongside resources and ship parts. Every marketplace transaction affects prices, so popular designs and scarce parts move the market. See Trading and the Player-Driven Economy and Ship Building.

1616 Unlocking Blueprint Access
1717  
1818 Access to blueprints and ship modification opens up through progression. In the tutorial, the first permit, Modular Systems, grants the Scanalyzer Alpha and Small Cargo Hold blueprints and access to the Shipyard, where ships are built and modified. See Progression: Permits and Experience and Ship Building.

20+Blueprints as Loot
21+ 
22+Not every blueprint is a ship design. Permits grant blueprints for individual modules, as the Modular Systems permit does, and since Major Update #1 on October 8, 2026 blueprints also come from exploration: each Restricted Area guarantees a blueprint on first completion, and the secret chests inside are guaranteed to hold either a blueprint or a patch. The same update made blueprints storable, and they are no longer lost when you die.
