Blueprints

This wiki article is hungry. You can help by satisfying its Need for Information. Please edit this page and add what you know.

Blueprints represent the viceroy's ability to build a building in their settlement.

Overview

Every viceroy starts with a few Essential Blueprints that they can always build in every settlement. These are unlocked by purchasing upgrades in the Smoldering City. Viceroys can also bring blueprints for some buildings with them when Embarking. Third, traders sometimes have blueprints available for purchase.

In contrast, for example, viceroys do not have the blueprints for the Ancient Hearth or the Main Warehouse; they start settlements with these buildings constructed. This means that players cannot build a second Main Warehouse.

The Blueprints in this list can be earned through completing Deeds and buying Upgrades in the Smoldering City. Once earned, they become Essential, which means they are available from the start of every settlement.

Strategies

• Often, viceroys will avoid choosing their initial several Blueprints until they know a little bit more about their mission. For example, waiting to pick until opening the first Glade or choosing a Cornerstone first.
