What to know
- Your healing item recharges by killing aliens (especially those that drop biological matter), gathering plants, and taking damage.
- Your throwable recharges by attacking enemies and destroying meteor pieces (harvesting them).
- You can check the exact recharge method by hovering over the item in your inventory.
- There’s no “recharge station” — charges build up automatically as you play and do the right actions.
In StarRupture, healing items and throwables recharge automatically as you play, rather than through crafting or stations. Engaging in combat, harvesting resources like plants and meteors, and exploring the environment all contribute to refilling your charges, letting you stay prepared without constant micromanagement.
How healing items recharge
Your health item (like a med‑kit or healing gadget) gains charge from several sources:
1. Killing aliens
Every time you defeat an alien, especially ones that drop biological matter (like flesh, organs, or alien samples), your healing item gains a small amount of charge.
2. Gathering plants
Collecting plants (like herbs, fruits, or special flora) on planets also contributes to healing item charge.
3. Taking damage
Getting hurt in combat or from environmental hazards can also slowly refill the healing item’s charge over time.
Tip: If you’re low on healing charges, focus on clearing alien spawns and farming nearby plants to top it back up quickly.
How throwable items recharge
Your throwable (grenade, mine, or similar) recharges differently:
- Attacking enemies – Hitting or killing aliens with any weapon contributes to throwable charge.
- Destroying meteor pieces – When meteors crash, go up to the meteor fragments and harvest them (like mining). Each hit on a meteor piece gives a small charge boost to your throwable.
For example, if your throwable is at 29% and you harvest a meteor until it explodes, you might jump to around 40–41%. Keep doing this while fighting aliens to keep your throwable ready for big fights.
Tips
- When starting on a new planet, prioritize clearing nearby alien spawns and harvesting visible meteor fragments to build up essential resources and throwable materials.
- If your health gets low, spend a moment gathering food and hydration items like Hydrobulbs and Polifruit before taking more hits—this restores health and stamina safely near your base.
- For throwables and ammo, keep attacking enemies and harvest meteors and loot containers whenever you see them; even small chunks and random loot drops help restock supplies.
In StarRupture, you don’t need to craft or manually refill healing and throwables—they recharge organically as you play. By fighting aliens, harvesting meteors, and gathering plants, your charges top themselves up over time. Stay active, keep exploring, and the game rewards you with steady sustain without extra micromanagement.
