Star Rupture Early Game: Tube Blueprint Location & Tips

What to know

• The tube blueprint is an early, essential schematic needed to craft tubes at your Fabricator.​​
• It’s located in a fixed abandoned base northwest of the starter ship, near a pink gorge area.​
• Expect hostile aliens guarding the base; bring a decent weapon and some healing items.​​
• The blueprint is inside one of the second‑level storage containers inside the structure.​

In Star Rupture, the tube blueprint is one of the first key blueprints you need to unlock advanced crafting, especially for building parts like rotors and stabilizers. It’s not sold or randomly dropped; instead, it’s stored in a specific abandoned outpost that you can reach on foot early in the game.​​

Tube blueprint location

Head to the marked location in the northwest of the map, enter the building, and pick up the Tube Blueprint inside.

How to get the tube blueprint

Follow the steps below to obtain the tube blueprint with ease:

Step 1: Start from your crash site

Spawn at your starter ship (crash site) and face northwest across the open terrain. Look for the distinct pink gorge in the distance, that’s the direction you’ll be heading.

Step 2: Head to the abandoned base

Head northwest toward the pink gorge until you spot a large ruined structure built into the landscape. This abandoned outpost, usually visible from afar, is where the Tube Blueprint is located.

Step 3: Clear enemies around the base

Before entering, clear out any alien patrols around the base. Use cover, stay alert for ambushes, and proceed carefully, especially if you’re low-level or lightly equipped.

Step 4: Enter the structure

Approach the building from the rear by climbing the nearby hill, then jump through the broken wall at the top to enter safely.

Step 5: Loot the second‑level containers

Once on top of the building, climb down the ladder to the floor below and loot the blue storage box to obtain the Tube Blueprint.

Step 6: Grab extra loot and leave safely

While inside, search all containers and nearby bodies for Warbonds, scrap, and gear. Once you’ve secured the Tube Blueprint, exit the outpost and return to your base or Fabricator to unlock tube crafting.

Tips

• Clear out as much inventory space as possible before heading out so you can grab all the loot in one trip.
• Bring plenty of pistol ammo to deal with the aliens near the structure and avoid getting forced into close combat.
• Make sure to loot everything in the area to avoid missing any valuable items.

Crafting Your Next Components

With the Tube Blueprint in hand, start crafting tubes to unlock rotors and stabilizers. After that, head to nearby points of interest, like the satellite dish ruin, to gather the next essential blueprints and keep progressing your base and equipment upgrades.
