Loaded up my old save and can’t get the option to build the blueprint machine for my base wasn’t sure if there was a way to restart the main quest for old saves so you can get it

I would like to know this too.  
Is it a mission or a milestone or what.  
I can’t wander the planets digging up tech and just keep filling my pockets.  
We need that damn Blueprint Analyser.

It pops up quite early in a new game but nothing seems to be causing it to show up on an pre-1.5 save.

I also had this issue with my game killing bug. I didn’t realize that this was an issue outside of the other missing tech I had.

**Main bug** : crash when I mode select with a frsh restart of NEXT regardless of save. A reinitialize when I close out the application after saving.

**Bugged work around for bug** : restart by joining another game. However, I have no base computer, antimatter/ antimatter housing tech, frigate fuel tech and of course the forementioned bluebrint analyzer.

Of course, I have already turned in the bug reports for both of these.

@FRANK_CADILLAC you have just made my year with that bit of hope. Thank you.

I didn’t see these bugs in @Oshoryu 's patch notes topic. Is there an updated list?

Are you in experimental or with the proper released patches? Because I don’t think they released 1.52 live yet and if they have the analyser should just be available to build without any fanfare…if you have 1.52 fully released and still just can’t then submit a bug report…and attach your current save file.

You should probably submit another bug report…the medium and large refiners are obtained from doing the NPC base missions if what I am hearing is correct…but I don’t suspect you’re capable of doing those either?

Right…so they haven’t fixed those two then…unless you can find them in the blueprint analyzer but I’m going to guess they’re not in there either.
