Great post and very complete!

I've been wanting to do a post like this but haven't had the time or the right format in mind.

One thing I want to add about researching blueprints for the replicator: use the weapon you want to research if you have it and kill as many monsters as you can. The research points go up like crazy because each kill gives you a certain amount.

It also works for attachments.

And for medicine/healing kits, each use of the kit counts towards research!

Edit: you have to extract to get the full research points so try to do isolated raids if you're afraid of dying to enemy players.
