Quick answer

If you have neither a Trampler nor resources to rebuild, create a new character or join a team that owns a Trampler. Inventory and Tech Tree progress stay with the character and selected region, while Trampler Blueprints are shared across characters. The cited third-party guide says a Blueprint saves the design, parts and weapons, but not items stored inside.

Before you start

  • Confirm that the current character has neither a Trampler nor resources to rebuild.
  • Choose between the two documented recovery branches: a new character, or a team that already owns a Trampler.

Steps

  1. 1

    If a team that owns a Trampler is available, join that team instead of trying to rebuild from zero.

    Expected: You are using the team-based recovery path named by the official FAQ.

  2. 2

    If no such team is available, create a new character.

    Expected: You are using the new-character recovery path named by the official FAQ.

  3. 3

    Before changing character or region, separate character-bound progress from shared data: inventory and Tech Tree progress stay character- and region-bound, while Trampler Blueprints are shared.

    Expected: You do not expect inventory or Tech Tree progress to transfer, but you can rely on Trampler Blueprints being shared across characters.

  4. 4

    Treat a shared Blueprint as a design record, not a storage backup.

    Expected: The cited third-party guide says the design, parts and weapons are saved, while items stored inside the Trampler are not.

Success checks

  • You have chosen one documented recovery branch: a new character or a team that owns a Trampler.
  • You know that inventory and Tech Tree progress stay bound to the character and selected region.
  • You know that Blueprints are shared across characters and that the cited third-party guide excludes stored items from the saved Blueprint.

Troubleshooting

The new character does not show the previous character's inventory or Tech Tree progress.

  • Keep inventory and Tech Tree expectations tied to the original character and selected region; those records are not shared across characters.

A shared Blueprint did not restore items stored inside the Trampler.

  • Use the Blueprint for the saved design, parts and weapons; do not treat it as a backup of stored items.

The current character still has no Trampler or resources to rebuild.

  • Use one of the two documented recovery paths: create a new character or join a team that owns a Trampler.
