What should I do with a Droid Tycoon blueprint?

Throw it into your crafting station to craft the exact droid and variant shown. Scheduled conveyor blueprints currently arrive hourly at :00 for Stellar and :55 for Mythic, plus every 30 minutes at :15 and :45 for Galactic.

Check the next timed window, the blueprint variant, and your storage space before picking up another blueprint.

Check the droid and variant

Current timed blueprint schedule

The live conveyor board now schedules Stellar hourly at :00, Mythic hourly at :55, and Galactic every 30 minutes at :15 and :45. Stellar replaced the retired Beskar timer; it does not use Beskar's old every-15-minutes cadence.

BlueprintSchedule
StellarHourly at :00
MythicHourly at :55
GalacticEvery 30 minutes at :15 and :45

These scheduled windows do not mean Beskar droids cannot appear through the normal conveyor, Surges, missions, or other sources.

What to do with a blueprint

A blueprint is tied to a specific droid and variant. Throw it into your crafting station to start crafting that droid. If you do not want to craft it yet, keep it in Blueprint Storage or sell it to a Jawa.

Since v1.23.2, picking up a blueprint you already paid for does not make you buy it again. Update v1.24 also fixed a case where picking up a blueprint could leave you unable to carry it.

What Blueprint Scrap actually does

Blueprint Scrap adds blueprints to your scrap station. Each level provides its listed variant rather than that variant or higher.

The current information confirms the variant at each level, but it does not confirm that higher levels make blueprints appear more often.

Since v1.23.2, when another player lands the hit that awards Blueprint Scrap, the station owner receives the blueprint.

Blueprint Storage

The Nova Shop has three recorded storage purchases.

Players are currently reporting that stored blueprints can disappear after leaving and rejoining. Do not use storage as a reliable backup until that behavior is confirmed or fixed.

Blueprint Vendor

The one-time 10-Nova purchase puts a Jawa at your base so you can sell unwanted blueprints without carrying them back to the Sandcrawler.

Blueprints during the ended C-3PO event

During the July 2026 C-3PO rerun, blueprints awarded Scrap Points and Galactic Blueprints could be earned from fishing. The exact Scrap Point values were not announced.

How I would spend the Blueprint upgrades

I would start with Blueprint Scrap level 1 because it costs only 1 crystal and unlocks the system. After that, buy a higher Scrap level only when you want the exact variant named for that level; the current evidence does not show that a higher level makes blueprint drops appear more often. Buy Storage when you regularly find blueprints worth keeping, but account for the current community-reported rejoin problem. Buy the Vendor when carrying unwanted blueprints back to the Sandcrawler wastes enough time to justify 10 crystals.

Before selling any blueprint, check the current Rebirth Path. A blueprint that is not useful for the present craft can still satisfy a later requirement without waiting for the same droid to appear again. Since v1.25 fixed random blueprint despawns, normal pickup pressure should be lower, but that fix is separate from the unresolved Storage behavior after leaving and rejoining.
