After building workbenches on your ranch, you gain the ability to craft a wide variety of items. Some items become available immediately after constructing or upgrading a workbench. However, crafting certain items first requires learning their blueprint.
How to Get Blueprints
Blueprints can be obtained from Tubes. Opening a Tube grants you access to new crafting blueprints, depending on its tier and rarity.
How to Find a Specific Tube
If you are looking for a particular Tube, you can check its source directly in the relevant workbench menu:
— Open the workbench where the item is crafted.
— Select the item whose blueprint your character has not yet learned.
— Tap the “Where to find?” button.
This will show you where the required Tube can be obtained, helping you plan your progression more efficiently.

Why Can’t I Open a Tube?
Tubes never contain duplicate blueprints. If your character has already unlocked all blueprints of a specific tier and rarity, you will no longer be able to open Tubes of that category.
You can check how many blueprints are still available by viewing Tube’s description. There is a tooltip that shows how many blueprints remain for that specific tier and rarity. If it says “Blueprints left: 0”, it means there are no more new blueprints to obtain from that Tube.
What Should I Do with Extra Tubes?
From time to time, the trader Carmack in Silverton offers special deals that allow you to exchange Tubes for Gold Nuggets. You can keep your extra Tubes and wait until such an offer becomes available instead of disposing of them.
Can Blueprints Be Upgraded?
The level of a blueprint can be increased in the menu of the workbench where the item is crafted. Simply select the desired item and press the “Upgrade Blueprint” button.
Upgrading a blueprint requires Silver Coins or Gold Nuggets, depending on the current blueprint level.
Up to Level 5, upgrading a blueprint significantly improves the item’s stats, including its additional bonuses. After Level 5, further upgrades provide less benefits.
