I had few items but no blueprint as of yet. Finishing an ancient tome had confirmed me its giving some blueprint. It literally says so after finishing a reaserch. But i have non of it.
Does it gives a bp after the first one? And shouldnt i have an alien virus bp after finishing its reaserch or otherwise what is the point of bio bps?
Oh, you should've asked earlier. There is some documentation/UI gap in that area. What is not explained clearly anywhere is the fact, that planets can have their own blueprints. So blueprints from the labs go there. And you can't see them (ugh, this is the stupid part), unless you also have a factory on that same planet. However, blueprints are also shared between uplinked laboratories, so you can have your factory on another planet, as long as it has a lab too...
I believe the order goes like:
Node Planet -----> Hub Planet
[Factory] <----- [Blueprints]
Given the regular uplink scheme:
Node Planet ----->
Node Planet -----> Hub Planet
Node Planet ----->
Word is, the galaxy is seeded with ancient technology, so every planet has a fair chance of finding something. And yes, you have to be lucky with your warehouse slots, or you miss the opportunity to grab your artifact. Which, yes, makes an already low chance even lower.
