Title says it: What is the point of having Common Blueprints in the game? As far as I can tell, from the dozen or so commons I've collected, the items created from it have the same resource requirements and stats but have limited uses/runs and still require the skill to be learned. Effectively this means they are completely useless as far as I can tell. There is no other "vendor trash" drops in the game so that leaves me to ask: What is the point of them? Unfinished items waiting to be fixed in future patch? Qualities I am not yet aware of? Thanks

Something regarding "maintenance" resets the timer I believe. No idea what "maintenance" means though. Can anyone clarify? It's not simply building something....a neighbor's plot is being developed and it's constantly being challenged whenever he leaves to gather resources. All the while, another neighbor with nothing on the plot (just taxing food gathering) seems to keep resetting their "maintenance timer".
