Data Miner: plan 10 schematic research targets

Follow these steps

1. Count researched schematics, not web checkmarks

   Treat a schematic pickup as a find and the game's research status as a separate step. Our checklist records finds in this browser only: it does not read your save or track the achievement. If a researched physical mod disappears, use the research guide to distinguish its unlock from the item carried into a run.

2. Build a route plan across room types

   The ten names below are a planning shortlist, not the ten schematics the achievement specifically demands. Start-elevator and left-branch targets give you fixed landmarks; chest islands, obelisks and Fragment Zones add different room searches. Zone access and the grapple matter, and random layouts mean the whole list is not a one-run promise.

   Ten research targets grouped by room type

   Target	Room or landmark	Pickup requirement
   Crit Drive Plus	Zone 1 start elevator	Circle the outside wall; take the pickup on the rock.
   Flatline	Zone 1 left branch	After the first fight, jump to the side island and search its edge.
   ADS Accelerator	Zone 1 chest island	Follow the door's cable to the raised switch, then return to the opened door.
   Final Impact Core	Zone 1 chest island	Circle the large rock and enter its cave; it need not be the pre-boss island.
   Sphere Resonator	Chest layout documented in Zone 2	Grenade the 3×3 slab patch right of the chest; clear the enemies below.
   Kinetic Breach	Zone 3 chest island	Enter the grassy hole, clear the cave including an Ignit, and continue inside.
   Burning Cascade	Documented Zone 1 obelisk	With the grapple available, reach the upper platform above the obelisk.
   Lasor	Zone 3 obelisk	Circle the base and crouch through the low gap.
   Lucky Day	Fragment Zone arrow room	Follow the right wall and crouch through the arrow-marked gap.
   Ignit Launcher	Fragment Zone pedestal room	Collect the schematic from the pedestal; Ignits are reported afterward.

3. Use a matching route before committing to a room

   For chest stops, distinguish ADS Accelerator's powered door, Final Impact Core's rock cave, Sphere Resonator's slab floor and Kinetic Breach's grassy opening. For obelisks, Burning Cascade is above the structure and requires the grapple; Lasor uses a low gap at the base. Open the target names in the table for the illustrated routes.

4. Keep Fragment Zone alternatives open

   Lucky Day and Ignit Launcher supply two recognizable room searches in this shortlist. Dice nodes can lead to other variants: Predator, Focus Fire Enhancer, Airborne Attack and Entropy Helper have their own routes and can be alternative research targets when you encounter them. No source establishes a guaranteed room sequence or fastest route.

5. Finish the research step in game

   After a find, check that schematic's research status in the hub and follow the requirements shown by your current version. Count toward the target only when the game marks it researched.

Completion signal

The in-game achievement unlock is the final confirmation. The published condition is ten researched schematics; ten items found, ten boxes checked here or ten physical mods seen in inventory do not independently confirm it.

If it does not work

If you have ten website checkmarks but no achievement, review the corresponding research states in game first. If a physical mod is missing, that alone does not show research was lost. If ten distinct entries are actually marked researched but the achievement remains locked, retain the names, game version and research-status evidence when reporting the issue; the sources here do not establish a universal fix.

• Current player discussion: researched schematics

The achievement condition comes from the official Epic achievement page and is independently visible on a public Steam achievement page. The shortlist uses community pickup routes, including early-access images; it is a planning choice, not an official optimal sequence. Current players explain the research-versus-item distinction, but a complete 1.0 research workflow remains unverified.
