150 Module blueprints to make 1 complete blueprint

:mad: I have 3 blueprint fragments, showing as 3/150 Guardian module fragments. So do I need to grind 150 of these for a single module blueprint?????[mad][mad][mad][mad]
 
No, for each module you want and need you will need 1 module bp per module that you want to unlock. Once you do unlock it you can buy it as many times as you would like. And as for the 150 you see that is the max you can have at any given time for that module.
 
ok, thats about the "if you dont like engineering, take the guardian stuff"

now we get rage-posts because the "new player" can't understand that there is a storage limit for how much materials of each time you can collect.
just because the material is called "fragment", he thinks that he needs to fill the storage up to get a "complete" blueprint.
He probably has not even visited a guardian tech broker to see what he actually needs, to unlock things

@op:
no, you don't need to grind 150 of them...

you need:

Blueprints:
  • 6 Guardian Module Blueprint Segments
  • 3 Guardian Vessel Blueprint Segments
  • 18 Guardian Weapon Blueprint Segmenets

Components:
  • 179 Guardian Power Cells
  • 282 Guardian Technology Components
  • 143 Guardian Sentinel Weapon Parts
  • 145 Guardian Wreckage Parts

Data:
  • 20 Pattern Alpha Obelisk Data
  • 34 Pattern Beta Obelisk Data
  • 24 Pattern Delta Obelisk Data
  • 16 Pattern Gamma Obelisk Data

Blueprint segments you get 1 per scan of that dispenser after completing the minigame at 3 different sites
Obelisk patterns you get from scanning the obelisks, always 3 per type, but random type per scan (relog marathon at an obelisk-only-site)
the other stuff is also 3 per item picked up, but it means you have to kill at least 50 sentinels for the weapon and wreckage parts, which happens naturally on the vessel blueprint sites
the real grind, are the Tech components, since those are ~100 lucky loot drops from destructible parts at guardian sites...

Have fun!

What numbers are those?

There is no single guardian weapon, module or fighter that needs more then one blueprint segment.
Look for reference here: https://inara.cz/galaxy-techbroker/
or at your local Gaurdian Tech Broker.

For Example: Guardian FSD Booster unlock requirments:

1x Guardian Module Blueprint Segment
21 x Guardian Power Cell
21 x Guardian Technology Component
24 x Focus Crystals
8x HN Shock mounts

After unlocking this blueprint once, you'll have access to it and can buy it as often as you want.

It was already stated, but not explicitely: the first number is how many you have, the second is how many you can store of this kind. So you can still collect 147 before your ships storage is full, but you only need one of them per item you unlock at the tech broker.

I guess Bunkerkind Anni took these numbers from a plan, what he made to unlock a certain set of items. When i go unlock Guardian Stuff i generally do the same: i make a list of all the items i want to unlock, then add up all the items i need to unlock all of them. It saves time.

At the same time, you are perfectly right: one item only needs one blueprint, along with a certain number of other items. And once unlocked, you can buy as many of them as you want.

I find this most useful with the power plant and power distributor. When i set up a new ship now and don't want to push it to the limit for combat performance, i rather install the guardian versions. E.g. my Cobra Mk IV previously had no real engineering done. Now that i refitted it for rock mining, i didn't bother to engineer the reactor and power distributor, but simply installed the guardian ones. It's almost as good as fully engineered components, without all the trouble around it. :)

that means you have 3 blueprints, while you can store up to 150

Relax. I only ever got one to unlock FSD booster. Never got around to get more.

its obviously all unlocks together...
 
Actually some of the weapons require two blueprints. Like the plasma chargers and large shard cannon. Mostly the turrets.
thanks for pointing out... fixed the number in my post - it was wrong either way.
indeed the 4 turrets require two weapon blueprint segments each.

its serious madness when you consider that there are just 3 weapon systems to unlock:
Gauss
Shards
Plasma charger

but you need to go through the minigame 18 times...
