Blueprints
Unlock every blueprint server-wide, unlock specific ones, or wipe all player blueprints. Unlock settings are saved to My Settings and come back after restarts.
01What it does
The Blueprints page has two parts. Blueprint Settings has the server-wide unlock switch and the reset button. Blueprint Custom Unlocker lets you unlock blueprints for individual items.
This is handy for build servers, PvP arenas, or anywhere you don't want people stuck grinding scrap before they can play the way you intended.
02Every setting explained
- Unlock all Blueprints (on/off): turns global unlock-all blueprints on or off for the whole server. It's OFF until you change it.
- Reset all Blueprints: clears every player's blueprints on the server.
- Activate Blueprint: unlocks the blueprint for the single item you've picked in the Custom Unlocker.
Reset all Blueprints can't be undone. Everyone loses what they've learned.
03Unlocking a single blueprint
- 1In Blueprint Custom Unlocker, type an item name or short name into Search items.
- 2Pick the item from the suggestions. Only items show up here, not vehicles or other entities.
- 3Check the selected item (name, icon and short name).
- 4Press Activate Blueprint and confirm.
04After a restart
The Unlock all switch and every blueprint you unlock with Activate Blueprint are saved to My Settings, so Surge re-applies them automatically when the server comes back up.
When you press Reset all Blueprints, Surge also removes your saved single-item unlocks from My Settings. That way a reset actually stays a reset and the old blueprints don't sneak back in on the next restart. The Unlock all switch isn't touched by a reset.
Wiping for a fresh start? Run the reset first, then activate any blueprints you want everyone to keep. Those new unlocks will be the ones saved for future restarts.
05Good to know
- Every action asks you to confirm first. Turning unlock-all OFF and resetting are both flagged as dangerous.
- The bot needs to be connected to your server for any of these to work.
