You can get them from breaking barrels out in the wild, the chance of getting blueprints from these can be varied and when you do the loot can also be rather varied, sometimes you get some good stuff other times not so much.
Alternatively you can get blue prints from the rad towns by either breaking the barrels, bins or by opening the creates you can find around the rad towns.
Those two options are technically accessible at any point in your play time however the rad towns do hurt you unless you have rad gear so be careful.
The third and final option for gather/ learning blueprints is to research them using the research table, now this is something for those players that have a base setup. The research table itself requires 2000 wood and 1100 metal fragments to build this is because it first requires you to build a repair bench to then combine into the research table. This means that you have to make furnaces and smelt up any metal ore you have.
To use the research table you have to put an item in it that you have not already got a blueprint for, as well as 10 paper and the resources that would be required to make that item. You will then have a 30% chance of making the blueprint for that item and it takes ten seconds to perform the action of creating the blueprint.
If you succeed in creating the blueprint it will replace the original item with the blueprint so you will have to craft it again to get it back.
The success rate is also bound to the item so if you keep researching the same item, by this I mean the exact same pickaxe rather than another of the same type the percentage chance will drop, however if you simple get another of the same item it will have the same 30% chance of success.
If you fail however it will either lower the items durability to zero or if it does not have a durability meter like armour it will simply destroy the item.
So thank you guys for watching that is everything you need to know for gathering and researching blueprints in the current version of Rust.
