The Blue Tablet can be found in the Alien Thermal Plant, and is used to access the Primary Containment Facility. One Blue Tablet is needed to gain entrance to the facility, and a second one is used to unlock the Moonpool room. Shortly after picking it up or after crafting one, the Sea Emperor Leviathan will contact the player via telepathic message.

Data Bank Entry

Data Bank Entry

Smooth and cold, with a blue light which illuminates an alien symbol resembling an upper case 'H'. While it is likely these devices served in part as security clearance for whoever constructed them, their size suggests some additional purpose, such as personal computers. Whatever the case, the technology is far beyond humanity's own.

Trivia

  • The data bank entry notes that the alien character on the tablet resembles an upper-case “H”.
  • At one point it was not possible to drop the Alien Tablets to scan them, and picking up the Blue Tablet would not unlock the Blueprint, making it possible to accidentally render the Blue Tablet uncraftable. This was patched in some update because in certain circumstances the player would be softlocked, unable to complete the game.
