Key ingredients and where to find them
You'll forage most ingredients from biomes around your landing site:
- Polifruit from orange shrubs on grassy plains near ponds
- Hydrabulb (glowing blue lilies) north near lakes
- Prickler fruits from purple cacti on ridges
- Star Tears in rocky hills east/west
- Serpent Root from serpentine plants in plains
- Prism Herb and Sulheart in varied terrains
- Grubbler from bugs
- Purplant/Glow Cap/Oxallop in specific zones like forests or caves—stock up as they respawn.
Use community maps like StarRupture.tools/map to better find and track them.
How to unlock and access food crafting stations
Reach Moon Energy Corporation level 2 by smelting Titanium Bars from Titanium Ore and launching via Orbital Cargo Launcher to unlock the Recipe Station—place it in your habitat.
In the Recipe Station's food tab, spend raw ingredients plus Data Points (from Analyzing Station) to research recipes.
Progress to Future Health Solutions level 6 by producing and shipping Ceramics to unlock the Food Station, where you craft using the same ingredients—no additional research needed.
Crafting your first basic foods
Start simple once stations are ready—you'll queue crafts in the Food Station interface.
Step 1: Prepare Polifruit basics
Harvest Polifruit from plains, research Calorie Bar (3 Polifruit + 1 Serpent Root), then craft for +50 calories to fuel early builds.
Step 2: Hydration with Hydrabulb
Gather Hydrabulb near water, unlock Hydrolite (4 Hydrabulb) for +55 hydration, ideal for hot treks.
Step 3: Balanced Nutri items
Combine Prickler from cacti: craft Figler (4 Prickler) for quick +15 calories/+20 hydration without extras.
