Most Commonly Missed Blueprints
Processor. Many players build a base without ever finding this. It's in Old Habitat and lets you make ingots with 40% fewer materials. Without it, you're wasting Titanium on every craft.
Growbed. Found at Karakorum Observatory (late-game). Without it, you can't farm Lucifer Rotsac for rubber, meaning constant trips to the surface. Get this ASAP once you reach Karakorum.
Modification Station. Unlocks the Bioscanner and Feedback Resonator. If you're exploring Karakorum without these upgrades, you're making things much harder than they need to be.
