How to Find Sulfur Ore in StarRupture

What to know

• Sulfur veins appear in bright yellow on the map and are guarded by damaging corrosive air, requiring a specialized extractor.​
• Unlock the Sulfur Extractor at Selenian Corporation level 9, and place it only right after ruptures when heat clears the air.​
• Prime spots lie north and northeast of the Orbital Lander, near calcium deposits and in barren, high-risk zones.​
• No loose sulfur rocks exist; all yield comes from veins, making automation essential for steady supply.​

Sulfur stands as the toughest ore to harvest in StarRupture's harsh world of Arcadia-7, demanding precise timing around rupture events and corporate progression. You scout yellow zones on your map, brave corrosive hazards, and automate extraction to fuel late-game builds. Mastering this resource propels your base from survival outpost to industrial powerhouse.

Sulfur vein hotspots around the map

Head north from the Orbital Lander past Griffith's Research Outpost into barren terrain for early veins, where three to five nodes cluster near titanium spots. Northeast mountainous regions pair sulfur with large calcium deposits, ideal for multi-resource runs. Far north edges host bigger groups amid radiation risks, while community maps note 12 verified zones in scorched, cracked biomes—toggle interactive tools in-game for overlays.​

How to unlock and prepare for sulfur mining

Progress through Selenian Corporation contracts by launching ores via Orbital Cargo Launcher to hit level 9. Build power sources like generators early, since extractors demand connections via platforms or rails. Stock radiation suits and health kits, as veins spawn in enemy-heavy, corrosive zones—scout during day for better visibility.​

How to locate sulfur veins efficiently

Activate your scanner to highlight yellow map markers from afar. Fly or trek north/northeast from spawn, checking volcanic cracks and purple helium geysers for clusters. Use community-verified routes: one triple-node spot east of big calcium veins, another with four nodes near wolf-ram ore. Avoid pre-rupture scouting if undergeared, as air drains health fast.​​

How to extract sulfur step by step

Wait for a rupture event to end—the map notifies extreme heat clearing.

Step 1

Rush to a yellow vein immediately post-rupture; corrosive air dissipates briefly (5-10 minutes window).​

Step 2

Clear nearby enemies with ranged weapons, then flatten terrain if needed for extractor placement.​

Step 3

Deploy Sulfur Extractor directly on the vein, connect to a powered structure (generator at least 50m away via rails).​

Step 4

Monitor output via logistics terminal; harvest every 10-15 minutes or automate transport drones for passive farming.​

Step 5

Dismantle before next rupture or air returns; relocate to another vein for rotation.​

Power failures halt extraction, so reinforce connections against storms. Yields scale with vein purity: normal nodes give 20-30 ore/hour, pure up to 50.​

No direct rewards table exists for sulfur as a base resource, but it crafts high-tier components: 100 sulfur yields advanced batteries or corporation upgrades, boosting launcher efficiency by 25%.

How to optimize your sulfur farms long-term

Establish a northern base near multi-veins for quick post-rupture access, chaining extractors across clusters. Pair with helium farms for synergy in research trees. Rotate three sites to cover 80% uptime, using drones for haul-back. Advanced players script rupture timers via in-game calendars for preps.​​

Maximizing sulfur for endgame progression

Sulfur fuels top research like fusion reactors and heavy weapons, essential post-level 9. Stockpile 500+ for sustained pushes, trading excess via black market POIs for rare blueprints. You transform risky hunts into automated pipelines, dominating Arcadia-7's ruptures.​

Nail sulfur farming by syncing with ruptures and basing north—you unlock endless potential for epic bases and corporate dominance.
