Your Guide to Early Titanium Farming in StarRupture

What to know

• Titanium ore spawns in a large, easy‑to‑reach surface patch just outside the starting valley, not deep underground.​​
• You can mine it with your basic harvester (no special tools needed) and process it into ingots at a smelter.​
• This early deposit is perfect for quickly making titanium tools, armor, and base components like rails and extractors.​
• Later, you’ll find more titanium in caves and other biomes, but this surface spot is the best for the very first hours.​​

Titanium ore is one of the first “tier 2” materials you’ll want in StarRupture, since it’s used for stronger tools, better armor, and many base-building parts like rails and extractors. The good news is that there’s a reliable, large surface deposit very close to your starting location, so you don’t need to dig deep or travel far to get started.​​

Early Titanium Deposit and How to Mine It

The early titanium deposit is found on the surface just outside the valley where your orbital launcher lands. It’s easy to spot and perfect for early progression. Here’s a short, simple way to get it done:

Step 1: Locate the Titanium Deposit

From your Orbital Launcher landing point, look just ahead for a large cluster of dark, metallic-looking rocks on the ground, these stand out clearly from regular stone and mark the early titanium deposit.

Step 2: Harvest the Titanium

Equip your harvester from the hotbar, ensure your suit battery has enough power, then mine the rocks by holding the attack button to collect titanium ore.

Using Early Titanium Effectively

With your first titanium ingots, focus on upgrades that boost early progression:

• Titanium tools: Faster mining and better durability.
• Titanium armor: Improved survivability in combat and harsh areas.
• Rails & extractors: Automate mining and resource transport.
• Base components: Required for advanced machines and upgrades.

Tips to maximize early titanium:

• Fully clear the surface deposit for a quick ore stack.
• Smelt early and turn ore into ingots as soon as possible.
• Craft tools and armor first, then invest in automation.
• Save a small ingot reserve for future upgrades.

Securing titanium in your first few hours sets the pace for the rest of your run in StarRupture. Mine the large surface deposit near your launcher, smelt the ore into ingots, and invest them quickly into better tools, armor, and core base upgrades. That early power spike makes exploration smoother, combat safer, and expansion far less grindy as you push deeper into the game.
