Death Stranding – All Facility Level Rewards / Unlocks

In Death Stranding you unlock new crafting blueprints (fabrication plans) by leveling up Facilities. This guide shows where and how to unlock all fabrication plans from leveling up facilities.

Facilities are like Outposts that you must recruit. Then you level them up by bringing them deliveries. The leveling system is based entirely on likes. Big Distribution Centers tend to need more likes than small locations where only 1 person lives. But it varies a lot. They have 5 levels each (represented by 5 stars on the map). Not every level up gives a crafting blueprint, some levels give you new equipment colors or interview data.

The longest ones to level up are: Veteran Porter, First Prepper, Mountain Knot City. They may appear to “get stuck” at certain levels, the trick is to deliver 1 item (lost cargo is typically the easiest) or do a Standard Order. After that zipline to the closest safe house, sleep and wait for an email from them, make sure to read it and then go find another lost cargo/delivery mission and repeat this. An extra tip is if you happen to find two or more lost cargo for them, or find one whilst doing a delivery for them, only complete one of them, sleep, read emails and then give them the other. The idea is they’re reluctant to join the network and sleeping passes time for them to decide. Reading the emails is mandatory, that’s what makes these NPCs “unstuck”.
