How to reroll Alternate Recipes from Hard Drives

Each Hard Drive gives you a choice between two random Alternate Recipes. If you don’t like either option, there is a way to reroll the Hard Drive and force it to give you new choices. After the 10-minute scan to reveal the Hard Drive’s contents, you can just press the Escape key to close the Alternate Recipe choice menu and then repeat the research process to get a new pair of blueprints.

This strategy used to be much more effective in the early access version of Satisfactory. The 1.0 update nerfed Hard Drive rerolls, so you can only do this once per Hard Drive. However, the blueprints contained inside a Hard Drive are randomly determined at the start of each 10-minute research period, so you can just save your game before researching and then reload your save file if you don’t like what you get. It sucks to lose progress from reloading a save, but this workaround is an easy way to guarantee that you get something good from each Hard Drive you find.
