On any Prestige difficulty, a blueprint from each blueprint choice will be drawn completely randomly instead of following the rules of the blueprint pool system, resulting in less predictability.

			=== Upgrades ===
			Various [[Upgrades]] can improve your blueprint choices. In particular, Obsidian Archive level 4 increases your number of blueprint choices to 4 and many upgrades in the Vanguard Spire tree give you species-specific housing as essential blueprints, which prevents them from diluting the "Institutions & Housing" blueprint pools, making it easier to find the Service buildings you need. Note: when 4 blueprints are shown during a blueprint choice due to the Obsidian Archive upgrade, the 4th (rightmost) blueprint will be drawn completely randomly. On any Prestige difficulty below Prestige 12, this effect stacks with the effect of Prestige, causing the 3rd and 4th blueprints to be drawn randomly.

			=== Coastal Grove ===
			The [[Coastal Grove]] Biome has unique blueprint choice and blueprint pool settings that make obtaining the blueprints you want from standard blueprint choices more difficult to counterbalance the increased availability of blueprints from the Strider Port. In Coastal Grove games, the number of blueprint choices available by default drops from 11 (3 initial + 8 from reputation) to 8 (3 initial + 5 from reputation). Additionally, the "Institutions & Housing" blueprint pools don't appear on the Coastal Grove unless playing at Prestige difficulty, where they can only appear once for the reputation 11 reward. This means that the Strider Port expeditions are the only reliable method of obtaining blueprints for Service buildings on these maps. It's also possible to get Service buildings to appear in the blueprint choices by rerolling, but the odds of seeing one are low due to how many other blueprints exist.
