Sure, I can try to see what’s up. Keep in mind it’s still the holidays for many, so it may take some time.
I understand. Thanks so much
Hi all,
So I’m sure a fair few player have had this issue too, and I saw a similar post made by someone else. However, I didn’t find it too clear and no answers were reached so I thought I’d make one myself.
The new schematics system obviously has its bonuses but I have 2 major problems with it:
-
I can’t access any 5 crown schematics in any tree. Currently ttrying to get full bullet resistance but I can’t get past 4 crowns on any of them. All of my schematics that I own are at least level 3 for everything else, and most are level 4. Yet when I try to get 5 crown schemtaics, even with the right number of points, the option is always greyed out, sometimes with a padlock symbol on the left, and sometimes not.
-
I already had a fair few schematics before the update, I’ll use the example of bullet resistant trousers.I had the 1*, 2* and 4* schematics. And that means I can’t progress any further - the schematics purchase system, as far as I know, works from the highest schematic you have, meaning that I have a gap that I cannot fill, meaning that I cannot get higher than 2* resistance as for some reason, the game tries to make me buy the 4* schematic, which I already have, which requires the 3* to be purchased - which I don’t have, and cannot purchase. I know that this feature is in its first stages but for some people this could make it useless to them because they cannot get all of them required. You might be able to get a general idea from my incredible Paint edit, though I dont really know how to explain it. All in all, I can’t buy the next level, even with an excess of points and the other schematics in the tree being levelled up substantially.
I hope this was coherent enough, because I certainly don’t understand it.
Since I have all the apparel schematics, they are all 5/5 but I did go into the equipment schematics and used my points there. Every one of the ones I already had had 0/1 under them and to change that, I had to use points to buy the schematics I already had and it let me then move down. And just like the skill tree, had to buy the top one before I could buy the one under it. I would guess the apparel tree is the same. There are 5 of each type of schematics, and you have to buy the ones above to equal 5/5 before you can buy the ones below them.
Hope that makes sense. 
Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately I don’t think I can use it because the bullet resistance schematics are all at the top of the tree. Maybe I need to buy all the schematics I can, then maybe it’ll open up the others?
And as for the second issue I have, I really don’t see any solution other than a patch. The Devs are going to have to fix this in the next update, or give a bit more info on how this works.
Thanks for trying to help! 
UPDATE - I have tested some things out - including in the Shoes schematics tree. I have 4/5 on every schematic apart from camoflauge shoes, where I have 5/5. Now I cannot buy any new schematics in that tree, even with the right amount of point. I cannot progress any further in the schematics and I have no way to get the 5* shoe schematics. This really needs to be fixed.
Platform: PC - Steam
Description: With the new schematic point tree there appears to be some issues with previously acquired schematics.
For instance, the Athletic Shoes 3 Crown upgrade requires 16 thread, 8 aluminum, 4 schematic points and the 2 Crown Athletic Shoes. For some reason the 2 Crown Athletic Shoes shows as me having 0.
Now if I open up my Apparel Crafting I see that I have Athletic Shoes 1 and 3 Crown but that is all. As I have the higher level it appears I can no longer unlock level 2 and thus that group is soft locked for ever upgrading further.
I have other schematics with the same issue but as Athletic Shoe is a unique shoe schematic it seemed the easiest to point out.
Steps To Reproduce: Have a profile from before Schematic Tree update with a level 1 schematic and a level 3 schematic but no level 2.

The issue is when you have holes in your schematic chain, you can’t fill them with the new buy tree. I’m missing, say, Rank 3 Bullet Resistant Shirt, but I have rank 1, 2, 4 and 5, it won’t let me buy 3, but it tells me I have 4/5 recipes and the last one will cost 10 points, but having more than 10, I can’t buy it. And I can’t buy any of the other recipes where I’m missing one and it isn’t 5.
There, we now have a collection thread covering the issue.

I too have this bug.
In my case it is both due to the “holes” in the schematics.
Also in one case I have 1-4 star but still cant unlock the 5th.
ok so its an everyones bug because i also have that. i thought that you need to get gold from robots because it was to easy to get other shcematics. its looked like an bug for me so i guess its an bug.
Just read in another topic about the UI saying you have all materials needed but still cant craft the item.
Have anyone tried to carry the materials needed and then crafting the clothing upgrade?
Tried again, this time I put the resources in my inventory but still not possible to buy the schematics where I have all previous levels of the schematic.
I hope the devs take a good look at this bug!
A hand full of the appeal schematics won’t allow me to unlock them. I don’t if I’m missing something, or it’s buggy. If anyone has any idea let me know
Known issue. Should hopefully be addressed in the upcoming patch.
Moved to main topic covering the issue.
The bug with unlockable schematics will get fixed with the next update.
