Research ten for Data Miner
Schematics
A schematic is a find in the world. Research it and its module joins the drop pool. Data Miner is the achievement for researching 10 schematics. Global unlock was 3.70% on 6 Nov 2026. You do not need every schematic on the table for that achievement.
The grindnstrat EA-era guide (25 Aug 2025) lists 15 names: 10 fixed spots in zones 1–3 and 5 in the Fragmented Zone. Ascension’s official note says one Fragmented Zone chest holds a new schematic, supporting at least 16 known items, but not a published total. Community wikis that say 17 are not a publisher count, so I do not adopt 17.
Zone 4, 5, and 6 locations after 1.0 are a blank. If a later guide names them with a date, they can be added. Until then the sentence is: at least 16, and the 1.0 total is unpublished.

FAQ
Do I need every schematic for Data Miner?
No. The achievement text is “Research 10 schematics.” The EA lists already contain 15 names.
Where is the Zone 6 schematic?
No located 1.0 guide I trust names one. The cell stays empty.
