No, it is Deadlands d20.
I don't personally have Deadlands d20, but I guess there's an error in it.
In deadlands (original rules, 2nd edition), the blue print is made basically
with the mad science skill. Other science skills help (improve chances of
success), but are secondary.
So, I suppose it should be Mad science to create the blueprint.
