StarRupture: 12 Tips I Wish I Knew Before Starting
This guide provides valuable tips and tricks for getting started in StarRupture, including base building, resource management, company progression, and survival tactics to ensure an efficient and enjoyable start to the game.
1. 🛠️ Base Deconstruction Instead of Restarting: Efficient Ways to Restructure
- ✅ Instead of starting a new game, you can deconstruct your base piece by piece with the deconstructor or the base core deconstructor.
- ✅ The base core deconstructor returns all building materials and meteorite hearts directly to your inventory.
- ✅ A temporary storage container is created that contains all items transported or extracted from the structures.
- ⚠️ Make sure you move these items to a new location as they are not protected outside of a base core.

3. 🏢 Understanding Company Rewards: Specialization and Prioritization
- ✅ Each company focuses on specific equipment, item, or machine branches.
- ✅ Future Health Solutions: Offers items that keep you alive and improve your physical abilities, such as regeneration chambers and the LEM station.
- ✅ Selenian Corporation: Helps you mine in space with the Fabricator and the Furnace.
- ✅ Griffith's Blue: Improves your combat skills with weapons, grenades, and automated defenses.
- ✅ Clever Robotics: Provides important automation features such as additional storage and faster rails.
- ✅ Moon Energy Corporation: Early rewards are the recipe station and the map.

4. 💰 Data Point Management: Invest Wisely in Recipes
- ✅ Avoid spending all data points on company rewards.
- ✅ Instead, invest in recipes, as these directly contribute to automated systems that will later passively earn you company rewards.
05:08 - 05:34
5. 📦 Recipes Beat Storage: Actively Use Materials
- ✅ Instead of simply storing valuable resources, you should put as many materials as possible into the recipe station.
- ✅ Create a system for your storage and keep like items together.
05:35 - 06:10
6. 📝 Keep a Journal for End Goals: Stay Focused
- ✅ Write down your current end goals to achieve your next rewards.
- ✅ Note what you need to ship via your OCLs to keep track.
06:11 - 07:15
7. ⚠️ Identify and Avoid Bottlenecks: Optimize Automation
- ✅ Pay attention to yellow lights on a machine, as these usually indicate that something has come to a standstill.
- ✅ Start at the end of the chain and work your way backwards to find the cause.
- ✅ If the OUCL is the problem, select a new task if the current set of structures allows it.
- ✅ A machine may display as "Output Full", which means it cannot pass on what it has created quickly enough to maintain production.
- ✅ A quick fix is to remove the created resource from the machine so that it can produce the resource again.
- ✅ You can also create storage depots to give yourself some time to make more machines.

8. 🗺️ Find Abandoned Bases: Valuable Resources and Blueprints
- ✅ Explore abandoned bases to find valuable resources and blueprints.
- ✅ Use the analyzer to get data points and blueprints for important recipes.
07:33 - 08:24
9. 💥 Survive Star Ruptures: Plan and Use Them
- ✅ Seek shelter from the Star Rupture in your habitats every 50 to 55 minutes.
- ✅ Use the time after the Rupture to collect Ignition, which is used to improve your base cores.
08:25 - 09:13
10. 🌱 Survival Elements: Food, Water, and Vegetation
- ✅ Stay fed and hydrated by collecting Polarifruits and Hydropods.
- ✅ Give excess resources to the recipe station to unlock better foods and drinks.
- ✅ Collect Ignition immediately after the Rupture and then your food and water resources as soon as the vegetation returns.
- ✅ Ruptures tear away the cover from caves that you can enter after a Rupture before the vegetation grows back.
