'''Techprints''' are exotic consumable items associated with a specific research project and which must be consumed to unlock access to that research project.

'''Techprints''' are an item used in [[research]] to unlock some research projects.

Techprints cannot be crafted. Instead they can be [[Trade|purchased]] from caravans and trading ships, or obtained as a [[quest]] reward.

== Summary ==

== Usage ==
−
Techprints can be applied to research benches to unlock the specific research project it is associated with for research and completion. The associated project will be mentioned in the techprint's name and projects that require techprints will note that information in the Research menu. Most projects require only a single techprint to unlock, but the [[Research#Cataphract_armor|cataphract armor]] research requires two. For this purpose, all techprints for the same project are interchangeable - any two techprints of the right type will function.  
+
Upon use, a researcher will bring the techprint to a research bench of any sort and proceed to consume it, gaining 2000 research XP in the process. This is affected by researcher passion.

Upon use, a researcher will bring the techprint to a research bench of any sort and proceed to consume it, gaining 2000 [[Intellectual]] XP in the process. This XP is unaffected by the researcher's [[passion]] or learning rate. If a [[hi-tech research bench]] is used for this purpose, it need not be powered.  
+
Note that applying the techprint does not require that prerequisite research be finished, or even the appropriate stuctures (e.g. hi-tech research bench, multi-analyzer).
  
−
Applying the techprint does not require that any prerequisite research be finished, or even the appropriate structures (e.g. hi-tech research bench, multi-analyzer) to be used, however using the techprint to unlock a project does not complete the project, it only allows it to be researched as normal. If the project has prerequisites or required structures, they will still be necessary to research the project.
+
== Variations ==
−
 
 
−
Applying a techprint of a project that is already unlocked will grant progress on the project equal to half of the remaining points to complete the project. This will still grant the Intellectual XP to the researcher, and will do so even if the project has been completed.
 
−
 
 
−
There are reports that due to rounding errors, a finite number of techprints will actually unlock a project however these reports are unconfirmed, and even if true, it is unclear if this will allow "sequence breaking" by unlocking a project before the prerequisites have been completed.{{Check Tag|Fact Check}}

All techprints have a [[Sell_Price_Multiplier|Sell Price Multiplier]] of x10%.
